That seems to be a really well-engineered chassis, I'm interested to see what this will end up going for.

Why'd they use an MR-2 power steering pump? It says they "fit" it to fit this steering rack...certainly with a build this nice they could've made a better one fit right?

But I agree, I would think they would have searched for something higher end from an aftermarket provider focusing on racing application considering most estimates are landing in the $40k ballpark for which you could buy a new FRS w/ FI setup and go slideways to your hearts content. |

Can you elaborate how that relates to my post about the steering rack decisions? You're not wrong, I just struggle to see the connection.

You said someone could buy a FRS with the stock motor and FI... This car for sale is not for someone looking to go that route. . .

Ah, just throwing in some perspective on money spent for performance gained, guess it was taken the wrong way.

Ken Gushi's Greddy FRS is running a S14 240SX steering rack. I'm curious as to what Toshiki Yoshioka's BRZ is running now... Interesting. -alex |

This chassis would be perfect for a Japanese D1 drifter that wants to come stateside next season cough cough Orido.
