Finally got some more work done...
Simple mod to correct bump steer. I made this 1/2 inch spacer to raise up the steering rack.
(Benefit of having manual rack and turbo)
This is the most cheap and simple mod I ever done, but it make night and day difference! Should have done long time ago!

Here are the two spacers I made... Since manual rack's chassis attachment is flat, you can use aluminum blocks instead of washers.

Brembos are finished too. I like the gold much better than the red.
Rotors are cut and ready for embedding.

Did something for interior too.
Working at the Car industry helps my hobby in many ways
One of the guy at work help me make flat CF sheet. This is total of 3 sheets ,but very strong and super light! It's not perfect ,but good enough to do the job.

[etikoner]

Goddamn. Loving those new door cards ;)

I wanna do this steering rack spacer. Great fucking idea for such a widespread problem (bump steer)

[jaredef]

Do you own a single unmodified body panel?

[jaredef]

i submit that you do not.

[Graeter]

Me and you have very similar tastes in cars. Are you an engineer by chance?

[Kickinoutyo]

Thanks guys for comments!

[Kickinoutyo]

i submit that you do not.

Nope, I'm not an engineer...but the engineers worst nightmare....'designer' :blaugh2:

[Caoboy]

I need to look into this steering rack spacer as well.

Once again, love this car.

Thanks! Just to make sure, On power steering racks, Attachment surface of the subframe is different. Only the non-power rack has the flat surface. Also, I'm not sure if NA cars with headers interfere with steering shaft when it moves up.

Someone should look into this. Such a simple idea, rep points for you.

[Caoboy]

Nuts. I'm going to have to look into how the PS rack is mounted. I saw you mentioned washers, which would make sense, but gotta come up with another spacer or something to place under the bushing then.
