My shoulders would so love something like that. Looks great!

I knew this was a mod I wanted when I saw it. I chose the Silvermine version because it has the potentiometer style feedback from the speedo cable to control the amount of assist rather than the Z Power Steering system of a manual control knob. This means the steering automatically gives full power at idle and low speed and reduces the assist at higher speeds. My wife will be driving the car and the thicker tires and aggressive suspension won't be a problem with this system...

I also love the cast iron engine block paint I used on the steering shaft! It looks nice and will stay looking good next to the exhaust headers. I will be painting the engine block this same colour. Sorry... no blue in SASSZ.

Cheaper and better for you.

Maybe it comes with the training guy too...

Captain O and I would need the training guy to get the bar off of our chest.

Besides, that grey will look great with the green body colour.

I agree. No real chance of this car looking stock anyways...

No kidding. I think I tore a rotator cuff just looking at that pic.

Thanks Edan!
I will post up a separate thread once the install is complete. I’m still a fair ways away from having it completely installed... new dash, gauge work, interior trim etc. It will make more sense in a separate thread with pics etc.
