I mostly remember it as an ugly concept car that came with a fat steering wheel I really wanted. Here's the thing though. It sounds to me, in the article that it was always intended to be a build it yourself kind of deal. I know they came out with the steering wheel and wheels, but did the other items ever make it to the catalog?
The biggest one I'm thinking of is the K-member that extends your wheelbase a whopping FIVE inches! As we know, it would bolt to any Fox/SN car. So are there a bunch of these kicking around that we just don't see? According to the article, it was a major improvement in ride and handling. 50/50 weight distribution. You'd think if they did come out, you'd hear about them all the time and they would be HIGHLY sought after. All those super nice magazine Fox builds would have them. I can only guess one of two things happened. 1) they never came out or 2) they did, but they are SO expensive most people just don't consider them, kind of like those SLA conversion kits. Or it could be one of those things that seem like a no-brainer for someone to come out with like Fox 5-lug drop spindles, yet no one has.
