This is a feeler thread for anybody interested in a faster ratio steering rack for a non-PAS Mk2. Any suggestions for companies etc - but I'm guessing it will be Quaife. Following on from the last couple of posts here: http://www.clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=144169 We shall work on a basis of at least ten, so just to gauge interest, put your name down if you are up for one. 1) tobyk - Toby Knight 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) There is no set deadline at all, nothing has been confirmed or anything like that - it's just a feeler at the moment.
Also, if people can confirm whether the UJ sizes vary between years and models? I'm sure I read something about this...
Thanks Toby. UJ diameter across the splines on the pinion I assume? I'm guessingthat there's a chance it would suit Mk3 Golf and Ibiza 2/3 also?
Yes mate it's the splines in the pinion I'm not so sure about. Some say 16vs are different, but some say it's year dependant. I've searched the forum for a definitive answer but to no avail. Also, they may be good for the 6n (Mk4) Polo, but I'll have to look into this. I know there should be a few people willing to opt in on Club Polo if they are suitable. I'll get onto some Ibiza forums to try and find out if they are good for them as well. I'm sure there are more than enough people on here capable of deciding whether Mk3 Golfs share the same rack as the Mk2 though. It would be nice to think we could have this off the ground and payments being delivered to Quaife by Easter time at the latest, but since when do things ever go to plan?
Seems there is 20 and 36 spline pinions... And a few places list certain Mk1 racks the same as certain Mk2 racks - surely that can't be right? Grrr
Put my name down as a maybe, what ratio are you looking to get ? Will the price be the same as the Mk 1 racks. Regards Ray
No prices or ratios determined yet. Need to speak to Quaife about this. I'll put you down as interested like me. If there are enough people interested, then we can speak ratios 1) tobyk - Toby Knight 2) Ray268 3) 486NPO 4) swaffGTI 5) StuMc 6) Neal H 7) 8) 9) 10)
I'm interested in a 2.9 quick rack and have spoken to Quaife. At the moment they only make a LHD one but would make a RHD version if we can get FIVE commitments. So thats three, anyone else?? Nick
5 eh? That's good to know. I know another person who could be interested, I'll have a word with them. Cheers!
Come on people there must be some more interest than this? Get yourself a 300mm wheel, some wide tyres and a quick rack for all your exercise needs!
im interested but am not sure i can commit to making my car track orienatated yet Definite future purchase though
Stick me down for one. 280mm steering wheel and 8" wide wheels. Who needs the gym? Quick rack would add to the fun!
So we do have a fair bit of interest. I thought I was gonna be hardcore, 300mm wheel and 7Js - but you take the crown
obviously im being a pussy then, sod the gym you may aswell drink weight gain 3000 for aiding your buffness
Beefcake!! Put me down for one too, that said i'm not sure what size spline I have. I have an early 16v mk2...
Right, cheers to whatever mod edited my post This is the list so far: 1) tobyk - Toby Knight 2) Ray268 3) 486NPO 4) swaffGTI 5) StuMc 6) Neal H 7) 8) 9) 10) Can we confirm all these people are still interested?
