Didn't you have home or apartment insurance? This would have helped you get cash for all that was stolen. Maybe you should look into this once your finances are better. Hopefully someone can get you a steering rack. It isn't safe at all to be driving your car like that. You can hurt yourself or others if it lets go completely and you lose control of your car. Did the rack break from the time you got hit? Maybe you can get your car insurance to pay for it to be fixed. Good luck.

If you need a rack for your 86, I've got a good one out of my 87 GT. It is tight and worked fine when removed. There are no tie-rod ends on it, though, so you will have to transfer it over. It is yours, just pm where to ship it (I'll cover shipping) Let me know as soon as you can so I can get it sent out.

hey everyone, Bobadoo told me to post for him because he doesnt have internet right now.

he is in DESPERATE need of a y-pipe for his 86. if there is anyone who can ship one to him as fast as possible (within the next two days or so) it would be greatly appreciated. he will pay for it but he needs it PUT IN by the end of this week!! if you can help, overnight shipping is a must.

please let me know if anyone can help! email me, pm me, anything.

...its pretty much an emergency.

I have a y pipe thats in great shape, whats wrong with the one he has now?

I could check into overnight or express shipping but its probably going to be EXPENSIVE... if he's willing to paypal me the money then I could see how much...

I'll send you the money for shipping, not a big deal. Let me know where to send it.

I have one as well that I could send to him. It might be a little cheaper for me to send it since I'm in the US.

**EDIT**
I just went out to the garage and grabbed the Y-pipe, and forgot that the lower bracket on it is pretty rusted. It could be welded if you were ambitious enough, but what I've done in the past is just cut that one off and welded a universal universal ones in its place.

well im at school and was able to snag a few mins of intranets

the steering rack is in wow what a difference... much obliged. did it in 2 hours too

and my y pipe is destroyed.. ive tried welding it multiple times.. it holds for a few days tops.. then it goes again.. its so loud im just waiting to get pulled over for it... and as of right now that would be really bad. luckily here in Pittsburgh they seem to be a bit slack on loud exhausts... im not sure how long my luck will last...

ah! someone sent one! thanks!
