Rack + Pinion done at a shop

[t_g_farrell]

I've searched and my understanding is that Respeed has kicked the bucket and any rack and pinion conversion now must be fabricated with steering racks from other cars. All of the threads I've read discuss how it can be done for DIYers, which is awesome but I'd like to know if it's possible to have this done at a shop and about how much I'd have to spend.

More info:
I had the chance to test drive a GSL-SE and loved everything about it except the loose steering and loose pedals. I've test driven a Miata and found the steering much tighter and more responsive. If I could get something like the Miata's steering into the RX-7 then I'd probably live and die with the car. Unfortunately I'm a software engineer living in an apartment so I don't have the time, resources, and most importantly experience to work on the car myself. If I can't get a shop to do the conversion affordably then I'll probably have to just get a Miata and hope I'll have the skills someday to convert the RX-7 myself.

Thanks for reading!
