Steering Range Fix: Mod the Tierod

Hi everyone. I'm new to the xmods.
I found it pretty nice car, but you know the weakest point is the steering range (too small).
To make it larger, I mod the tierod. That works nice.

EDIT: I didn't find the toe-in tierods which comes with the steering upgrade kit is enough, so I modded it like this:
Put the pin offset toward the front, i.e., closer to the axle of the nuckle, by bending it carefully with heat.
The same tierod' movement makes larger angle-movement of the nuckle.
So I could compare it with the upgrade tierod in this picture.



Here's the link (sorry Japanese only at now):
