I'm in GA. I spoke with turn one about modding my rack to get more travel, they said they might be able to but couldnt promise anything. I have tons of angle now (compared to stock) and will get another 5 degree's with my new upright. More rack travel would be great too!! That would put it close to what the 240's get. Thanks for your input and service to this country

This isn't related to your drifting thread but a few of us will be at Road Atlanta in a few weeks with NASA racing in American Iron. We've currently got 3 f bodies racing in AI and one more that I know of that will do comp school some time next year. You should come out since your shop is right down the road (i'm assuming).

Yes, that is the Santa's Toy Run event. I'll be paddocked with the other 4th gen AI car near the MTI hauler. Come stop by.

Here is the fix for your rack needs:
Swap to a BMW E36 rack and add spacers like this thread

Ordered an S&W drift spec cage to save myself some time...plus it was only $140 more than doing it myself. Metal/Fiberglass is about to get cut up to add lightness

Trying to get caught up on the honeydolist, have to fix my buddies 911 transmission this weekend, then back on this project next week. Should move pretty fast now till we start building the DW coupe. Ive finally come up with a cheap, quick, not as light solution for steering angle too.

That Jig in your first post, how difficult was it to make, do you have a blueprint or anything?
I was going to as spacers but I like this even better, great work

Also the steering knuckles are cast steel correct?
