Quick rack

[FactBV]

I have a pre-cat with manual steering and as standard the number turns lock to lock is around 2.7. On the power steering models it is around 2.2 I seem to remember. Obviously with the lack of power assistance the change in ratio helps a little. However, I would like it to be a little more responsive so was wondering whether there is someone who can convert the standard TVR manual rack to make it a little quicker, similar to the ratio of the power steering rack.

I'm not sure if there are a problem with manual racks, but I know that TVR power steering racks aren't great and people seem to never be able to get them fixed. If it were me doing it, I'd look seriously at Tilton; they make brand new ones to spec, and I seem to remember someone pricing one up some time ago and they really weren't that expensive. You could send them your rack for dimensions and they could send you a new one to fit, with any ratio you like..

Really helpful, I will do just that, thanks. Peter

Electric power steering swap on the cards

Power steering is designed to help ladies park, for real men manual steering is no problem at all, on a proper car that is. If the manual steering is too heavy, for a real man, the car is obviously too heavy. Therefore get a lighter, proper car and my initial point is valid.................I'll get my coat.

Russ, anyway you've got a proper car with proper steering, you're fine.

I'm very interested in both the Titan and the Subaru option. My track control arms have gone walkabout during a body off refurb and replacements for my type are unobtainable. Do you know what the lock to lock is on the Subaru quick rack and which models they come from? Photos would be a big help.
Zoe from Titan is away today, has anyone had any feedback from them yet?

Thanks,

Julian

Zoe from Titan has sent me three pdf documents with the specs, I will see if I can upload them tonight for people to see.

whats the cost of the titan option?

I can never seem to upload pdf documents, I don't know why. The pricing depends on how off the shelf it is, the price list runs to a couple of pages so best to get the docs from Zoe when she comes back. I did notice that they offer what seems to be a completely integrated electric power steering assembly, that only draws 8 amps and you can adjust the level of assistance with a switch on the dash.
