The complete lock to lock on the RX-7 rack and pinion is 3 turns.
If you think of all the arms and excessive linkage from the steering box to the wheels in a stock VW setup. Removing it all for a single shaft rack and pinion. It's literally the input shaft and two posts sticking out the side with tie rod ends on them. It really cleans up the nose area, and simplifies the whole system. And because of the gear reduction, you dont need the steering dampner.
If you have a creatively mechincal mind you can go into your local junk yard and pick out the best of the cars there. The result can be very cool, and yes sometimes very fast!
I ran the stats on my kit, weight, gearing, HP, torque, ect and came up with a 3.3 sec 0-60 time when finished, with all my mods.
