Ok. Maybe I missed it, but poking around your website, Robert, I found out that this car is a V8 swap that has a replacement front subframe. The obvious answer is that the rack is not centered. You need to do some measurements to verify this. Compare the dimensions to a stock car.
I'm convinced that the replacement subframe is the problem. Maybe the quality control wasn't good enough to prevent this, maybe something was installed incorrectly, or maybe (most likely) it was done this way on purpose so that the steering shaft could clear the headers or something else that Mazda didn't put there. You need to figure this out before you transfer all of this to the new car, or it will follow you. Maybe you will be able to find different length tie rod ends that can compensate for this.
