Haven't I already done that every time we've both been at an event? ::Bleh::

What about a de-powered power rack?

If you want the fast ratio of a power steering rack with without the power assistance, you have several options....

By the way Bean... I wasn't just being a whiny little ::Curls:: that night we lost the belt... If you follow the link above you will see that FM noted "You can simply unhook the power steering belt but this leads to very heavy steering. The seals inside the rack are still trying to move fluid and the pump is in the way."














Ok... perhaps I was a little whiney... but I lost boost and had heavy steering... it was a rough night!

A little whiney? :rolleyes:

You're being kind... to yourself! :D










Although I freely admit I'd love to have a blower like that in my BUR too!

Boy, a C-stock car beating up on an E-stock car, go pick on your own kind! ::Clown::

If I didn't have to follow the rules, my car would be stripped out like yours. But without the muffler weight reduction. ;)

Correction on the ride height. I meant to say 12.5" front and rear.

As I promised, here are the pics! :D

BTW, the wheels are FWMiata's old wheels sanded down and painted bronze. The tires are R-S2s.

Sounds like it may be time for the mods to re-title this thread to Building a not so TCB CSP car! :D :D :D

Looking good! :clap:

You're right! I did make a disclaimer about straying from the TCB way with the coilovers.

The wheels were definitely cheap though! FWMiata cut me a great deal for the wheels plus almost new Toyo T1-Rs for $300. I sold the Toyos on Ebay for over $200, so the wheels cost me about $25/each +2 cans of spray paint. Does that redeem me a little? ::2Dollar:

Thanks Sammm!

BTW, does anybody have any experience with Aluminum crank pulleys? Is it just a matter of 3 bolts to swap them out?

That is a nice color combo!
