Rack and Pinion is here!!!

I drove to Toyota of Irving today, and recieved this when i got there:





on the way home, i stopped at TurnTech Suspension and Handling Systems (local shop, new), and picked up these:



New Tie Rod Ends at a cost of only $17.99 a piece. they have a lifetime warranty.

Much thanks to Giovanni (El Gato) for helping to make this possible. the reality of it was, that money was so tight, i didnt see myself being able to keep the car too much longer, it was costing me way too much money. but with the help of him and a close friend, i got the parts i need at a fantastic price. I acually walked out the door having paid less than the promised price of $505 for everything:
total bill for all except 1 Ball joint (had to wait till tomorrow) comes to $437.72. not bad eh?

oh and, check the new sig!

Yep it's my shift knob. O/D is to the top right. 'Cause it's the fairly rare factory 5 speed manual. Oh Yeah!
