Abstract: A force feedback system including a first hydraulic cylinder operably coupled to one or more tires of a vehicle, a power assist steering unit operably coupled to the one or more tires of the vehicle, and a second hydraulic cylinder operably coupled to the power assist steering unit, wherein the first and second hydraulic cylinders are hydraulically coupled to transmit force between the first and second hydraulic cylinders.

Abstract: The present invention comprises an improved steering rack in which sliding sleeves within the main cylinder allow a channel to be cut through the main cylinder to allow for passage of the stationary piston attachment pin without allowing hydraulic fluid to leak through the channel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a race care design having a number of novel features. The car is constructed as a tube-frame chassis covered in a stressed steel skin welded thereto, such that the skin becomes a stressed component of the entire car. The car's driveline is assembled using an off-the-shelf transmission and a rear end with custom adaptors to couple the rear end to the transmission and to couple the driveline to the car chassis for rigidity. The prior art rear end is modified from its standard solid rear axle configuration to an independent suspension for each rear wheel through the use of several adaptor components.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a race car having a driveline assembled from a transmission and a rear end coupled to one another, wherein the rear end is coupled to the car's frame only through at least one driveline stiffening plate mounted to the frame adjacent to a location at which the transmission is mounted to the frame, whereby flexing between the transmission and the rear end is substantially reduced.
