    I had my rack rebuilt and powder coated at this place in San Jose called Power Brake Exchange for 1/10th of what new old stock costs. There was also a place called Phoenix Rack and Axle that was pretty convenient. They sent you a box to pack your old rack in, and their turnaround was like 24 or 48 hours. My rack has been leak free for the last 5 years. Also, reminder that the US cars use rubber O-rings around the banjo bolt that goes into the rack, not copper crush washers.

    On your water pump housing to the front plate. There's supposed to be a thin metal spacer with two holes that goes on the far left mounting points as they are slightly recessed. The water entry ports on the front iron slight stick out further. That spacer is super thin but necessary for a proper seal.

    • @Smeedia

    TuNaH be Tuning! Yeah, the car is sounding fantastic on the street with the new plugs. What is likely happening is a bit of fuel slosh and we should talk about a surge tank setup. Even at half a tank they'll fuel starve at 400whp.
    Speaking of which... Give Ride-Alongs and ask folks how much power they think that car has. Rotary Power is some interesting mystical shit. MY 400whp seems to be a whole hell of a lot more than what some folks think 400whp is...

    i'd suggest try to rebuilt this steering rack first before anything else, and if that doesn't work maybe try to convert it into a bmw steering rack(e36, e46) about the oil leak, maybe install an oil separator like a lot of people use on subaru engines, it's wayy more practical then an oil catch can
    and if this thing doesn't have ac maybe put that back on the car? i've seen a lot of people remove it and then regret removing it later, specially in during the summer season.
    another improvement would be to make a sub box so the sound system is a bit better, as well as a central locking unit to make it more usable and enjoyable to use.

    As far as that wire for linking it with the wiper motor, if i had to assume, would it probably allow the lights to automatically turn on when wipers are on? IDK if it mentioned anything like that in the product description but i mean there's features to allow automatic lights with wipers on since it is technically law to have lights on with wipers.
