[mk1golf_jack]

[h17och]

[mk1golf_jack]

RHD Power steering quick rack.... lol - no chance

 

[h17och]

why not?

ive found a place that takes your old rack and converts it...

plus quaife do one

Hooch, to get a heavier feel from the steering remove the oil resrictors from the PAS return line, they are held in place by what looks like a random hose clip in the iddle of the pipe.

Cant remember if there is 1 or 2 of them. Remove the pipe at bottle and squeeze them through.

 

[h17och]

the problem isnt just the weight of the steering matt. its also the way it randomly steering. you really need to hang on for dear life!


had a rather scary overtaking moment at 120mph. not driven it since

Can you not exchange it for another rack from the range. I know us Golf's can swap for the TT rack as it's more direct, less turns from lock to lock.......

 

[h17och]

not sure, think its just a golf mk3 rack!?

 

[h17och]

ive got a spare rack so gonna just stick it on 2mz i think

wishbones. geometry...... etc etc etc

 

[h17och]

geometry has all been done

 

[m0rk]

done right?

lower wishbone connection tight?

 

[ibizacupra]

what wishbones? overlong ones still? static geo wont pick that up, bump steer, scrub radius, caster change (if any)

 

[h17och]

ibiza cupra wishbones

bill i didnt do it so cant comment

all i know is my camber is 1degree neg

and the place that done it are a porsche repair centre and set up alot of track cars

 

[h17och]

so i hope they know what they are doing

 

[ibizacupra]

where you mention elsewhere of handling/steering issues you have to ask the question, especially when previously you fitted wrong wishbones and said they were ok... when clearly they could not have been and when mines >500bhp and has none of your issues

you can see where i was coming from question wise
