Brought her home tonight on my way home from work she runs really good pulls really hard I mean so much better then the b8 night and day difference but hey this is my first BP powered car but not my first project car. anyway, it was also a pretty scary drive the steering is very unresponsive im thinking tierods. good thing there already shipped the struts are gone also and motor possible trans mount kind jerks a little when you let off or hit the gas but smooth after that. anyways its too dark to take pictures so ill post them in the morning. Also i think theres a short in the steering column when you hit a big bump or use the turn signal the headlights turn off wish they would have told me that lol so i had to not use the turn signals which was ok i stayed in the slow lane and she made it home in one piece

Sounds like your steering column multi function switch might be going out. Same thing happened to me a couple years ago. Wholesale parts distributor quoted me $400 something! Found one on ebay for $80 BNIB shipped.Before you criticize someone, first try walking a mile in their shoes. Because then you'll be a mile away, and you'll have their shoes...
