A quick question for spec geeks here (no offence!)

Will this car have the 12:1 quick-rack?

Cheers

I'll go with maybe... IIRC the quickrack was an option on V-ltd models.

Cheers Ben. I've already got a spec c quick rack from an 05 car, trying to make it fit my p1 but it's a total pain, looking for a gc8 quick rack instead.

Maybe ask around on type-ra.co.uk, I haven't been there in a while but they always used to know their stuff when it came to the more special Subarus.

From my knowledge the quick rack started from the verion 4 MY98 limited models, to make a newage quick rack fit (doing the exact samething currently) you need a hybrid UJ making. Contact matty b at mb developments as he sorted one for me he posts on both 22B.com and scoobynet hope this helps

05 would that mean you have a widetrack quickrack or is it pre widetrack?

The GC8 13:1 quick rack was only standard on the v4, v5 and v6 STI RA Limited models. It was optional on others - look for the "Quick Steering" logo on the rear window.

I have the 13:1 rack retrofitted to my car - it's well worth it smile

The V3 V-Limited wasn't available as an RA it was an STi. Only the V2 & V4 V-Limited was available as an RA.
What is the model code & option code of the car?

I don't know, there's a steering rack on eBay - the seller isn't replying to emails and I'm trying to find out if it's a quickrack...

Thanks for the help guys.

Not much use if he's not replying to emails, but I have the part number for the quickrack if you can get hold of him.

Did you win the auction?

No I didn't even bid on it since he didn't even have the goddamn common courtesy to reply to my email(s).

From what I've read (and elsewhere) it probably wasn't a quick rack. Hope not anyway!
