they have a circle track one too that comes with some joints, etc for the same price, may try to find out if there is a difference, or if it is the same thing with mo' parts for the same money (always take mo' parts!)
http://electricpowersteering.net/index.php...586d61ffddb90afI would ask:
1. if it has an adjustable boost level, or if it is constant, or variable (doubt that considering the price but adjustable boost would be good).
2. how many amps it draws - I have a pretty big alternator in my car so I might have capacity but a lot of racers use the smallest amp alternator they can to keep HP draw minimized.
At $1K I am definitely interested...
Oh yeah, the MR2 rack, I have considered that as well as another V8'er did a conversion on one of these forums but I haven't dug that deep as of late. The reduced scrub radius has helped me a bunch, but 10" slicks are still a PITA with a manual rack.
I talked to the guy down in Texas and he is sending me the installation instructions which I can forward. (edit) I now have the instructions, showing the complete installation in a Polaris email me if you want a copy).
This unit just might work given that there isn't much more room in a Polaris than in a 914 and beefy part of the unit is perpendicular to the shaft.
He didn't know the amps it draws, but would check. I guess whatever sized alternator that they run on a Rhino would tell you something.
The unit is not adjustable.
He offered that the right way to buy the units is to look at various little 4 x 4's, like a Rhino, and pick which "kit" most likely fit your installation and then you get all the fittings and u-joints with the kit. He said there was a sale at $895 for some of these.
