Hi Silver 82. I have a Silver 81... and am also interested in MTheory's kit. Please be so kind and reply to this thread if he gets back to you as I apparently haven't posted enough to have PM privileges. Thanks!
Nice color!
Here is most of the email that I got back, I removed the price. I have replied with more questions, but have not gotten a reply yet.
Just started production again this month. It’s not full time and I’m working through a pretty big wait list so no eta yet. Complete kit bolts in with no permanent modifications to the Rx7. It will modernize car without losing its charm.
Alexworthy, you have a beautiful car. I'd be interested but I'm the original owner of mine and will never sell her... she'll go to one of my son's! Still running well on the original engine with only 145,000 miles in 43 years (hard to believe it's been that long!). She's not stock anymore... lots of Racing Beat goodies including the Delorto Carb conversion, headers, etc. It's still one of my favorites to drive... IF I can just sort out this steering issue. I'm convinced that the way to go is the R & P set up! JDMMINOT seems to have a good description of how he fabricated his own system which in the end may be what I have to end up doing if the MTHEORY kit is not available.
Hi all: Wanted to let you know that I spoke with MTheoryInc (Scott) and he is going to build a batch for June, 2024 delivery so if you are interested in one reach out to him. I've got one on order and am looking forward to finally have my baby back and steering properly!

I've attached a couple of photos of my RX7...
You need the side skirts to complete the body kit look!
Aside from that, it looks great.
Hi 1BADRX7: Your comment is valid. I had the car repainted probably 30 years ago and I struggled with whether to add the side skirts in addition to the front and rear pieces at that time. I just didn't like them. I obviously chose not to add them... personal taste decision. Thanks for the compliment though. I own a number of sports cars and the RX7 will always be special to me. It's not the fastest but it is unique... my first sports car and I bought it brand new... graduation gift to myself for sticking through Engineering School!
I can't wait to add MTHEORY's rack and pinion kit to it so that it will finally steer as it should have from the factory! I used to autocross it quite successfully in the 80's when it was the car to have in stock class. It's still a great handling car but I now race my MazdaSpeed Miata in STU class. It's a rocketship and handles like it's on rails! I love both of them!
Hi, I'm new to the forum and don't know how to find a link or mfg to buy the rack and pinion conversion kit from... Is someone still selling them on here ? please help I have two SA's I want tot convert and trans members too. I also don't see a way to reply to messages in my inbox..

Just received my steering kit yesterday. Now to do some re-reading of this thread and of the shop manual to help make sure that the installation goes well.
Thanks Scott. The kit looks fantastic and is very beefy.
I'm new to all of this and sent MTheory,Inc a private message asking about a rack and pinion kit. Was getting ready to pull the trigger on an eBay remanufactured steering box for $1,300 but I'd rather have the R&P talked about here. The steering box in my 85 has been adjusted as far as I can do it and it still has play (shocker).
I read above he was making kits for this last summer...maybe he made a few extra....? Hoping so.
Any help is appreciated, doesn't look like there are too many options.
