I fancy one of these just wondering who has them fitted and if they rate them? and where did you get them from?
I see burton has them but they look like a kit that you fit to the std rack? is that right?

Cheers

 

AndyRST has one. Might be worth asking him.

 

Ok cheers

 

are the kits easy to fit?

 

Mine is just a bolt on complete replacement rack

I have 3 or 4 (can't remember exactly lol) and alternate them about every 6 months as the good ones are no longer available.

 

I fancy the Quaife one from Burtons but keep getting told not to, i don't think it;s heavy as is now

 

Linsay, you saying your steering is heavy??

Mine got like that recently. Now, with some decent tyres, correctly inflated and the Wheel alignment within spec, it feels masses better.

As far as I remember, Andy's Quaife kit was heavy at first, I think it eased up after a while though. Not sure what his thoughts are on it now he has had it a while.

 

Andy and I discussed this at great length yesterday for about 10 seconds...


As far as I know you cannot buy the Quaife one anymore, Quaife haven't made them for years. Andy has that 2.2 version (Ithink) and his steering is awful! I hate it.

I think it would be impossible for Andy to turn the wheels with adjustable TCA's without rigging up some kind of complex pulley system that hangs down from the headlining.

 

Linsay only has little arms

 

Best not have one on chelle's car then

 

Why don't you look into fitting power steering as the engine is out

 

too much hassle isnt it?

 

I find 50psi in the tyres gives a good impression of power steering.

 

anyone else had any experience with these quick racks



i have one sitting in me garage just waiting to get me car back

engine is out so would be easy to fit

 

Depends how far you want to go. Shame the engine bay is painted as you could have fabricted brackets to take any power steering rack you wanted.

 

exactly lol, dont want to start chopping away at it pmsl.

She said shes waited long enough and wants it for nat day

She didnt say what year mind you

 

PMSL

It does make the steering very heavy under 30mph and then just heavy over 30 mph. I find my steering is heavier with my 15" wheels on compaired to my 17's.

TBH if the car is used everyday then NO dont fit a quick rack. IF the car is just a low use weekend toy or track toy then depends on how strong your arms are but yeah i like my quick rack.

The optimum ratio is 2.8 turns lock to lock not the silly 2.2 turns lock to lock i have

 

cheers andy


guess i will be ok then with my puppies

 

You should be alright Gus as Andy isnt no Arnie lol, more like the bloke from the mr muscle adverts

 

Thats not nice Benn

 

Benn go pick on someone your own size

Remind me whens that S1 going to be finished, or the Rouse or the Turbo van for that matter?

 

We have a book going Andy, if you want to wager a £1 on it

Unfortunatly all dates upto 2009 are taken now, but to be honest I'd still think you'd be in with a chance of winning

 

cheeky fuckers

Can I place a bet for 2010

 

i had a quick rack, it wasnt much better on my car

 

No Christian, saying the opposite - it's normal to me, i wouldn;'t mind if it were a bit heavier
I think the tyres i have on do effect it tho

Tony, we shall have an arm wrestle


Am sure it's in the Burtons 2006 catalogue i recently picked up at Autosport
2.78 turns??
looking on the website i can't find it

 

Much better than what ? What were you expecting it to be better at then?

 

ok , i didnt notce any difference, i thought i might have to turn less for the same degree or turn on the wheels , but it wasnt the case

 

Then you didnt have a quick rack, because its exactly how a quick rack works, less turning of steering will = same degree of turn on wheels

 

There is nobody else Benn's size!

 

You chickened out last time in Maccy D's

I hope you haven't been working out especially and now feel you are up to the challenge

 

From what i been told i think il pass on one.

 

i been told they are awesome on the track, a very good mod




just not too good at slow speeds

 

Yeah they not too shabby for track use

 

good cos thats what im after
