[Shotimes] ZF R&P in a Gen 2??

[Ryan M. Dudek]

Yes, far as I know only the Gen3 has the ZF.  Luckily for the earlier
generation cars, you don't have to deal with the high replacement cost of
the Gen3 rack.  Its been a while since anyone had to replace one, but IIRC,
the cost for the rack and pinion was somewhere over $700, less than $1200.
Regardless, I wish my car didn't have it.
