Rack"n"Pinon feedback&orders~:~:~:~

I just finished talking to CP Racing and I just could not wait to tell you guys the situation... The rack kit is a HUGE success!!! Chris tells me that there is zero bumpsteer, the car tracks dead on and the steering is light and agile with a perfect amount of usable feedback.
Anyway I dont want to speak for him any longer , I just wanted to tell someone because like I said much much earlier I have had this idea for a LONG time and it is just nice to have it on a car of someone elses and have that person tell you that it works in evey way I dreamed it would.
Chris tells me he will be posting the pics for me after we discuss which ones to use and he will tell you in his own words how he likes it.

Whatcha think of dat?

Just a word of legal advise, if your arent the one doing the mods, Id say a long *** legal disclaimer/waiver would be in order?

Remember guys Im supplying the parts and such for you so you can install the VW Rabbit rack that YOU supply.
So if you use a "Used" rack so be it, if you use a new rack then where ever you bought it from will probably sell it with warr.
Thanx 4the legal advise Mike P... But as always the disclaimer we all know to well comes into play
"For off road use only"

Is the 85 Golf R&P the same as the Rabbit R&P that you are using, cause I got 2 Golfs and they are just rusting away.

P.S. - anyone want to buy 2 VW Golfs?

i want one.... put me down. $200 right?

I cant wait to see the installed setup. i like pretty pictures.

It would be awesome if you had pictures of the final install to send out with the kit. even if it was just a print out on 8.5"x11".

Hey guys I have teamed up with CP racing for many different reasons one of which is the great repore and account he has set up with UPS. We can now sell these conversions shipping included. I will let him talk more about it on the thread we started "Rack n Pinion Results" and we can answer all questions there so this thread can now be abolished. We look forward to offering many other AWSOME products at an Awsome$$.
Anyway, talk 2yall on the other thread thanx guys!!!!!!!!
