Been thinking about one of these for a while, unsure as whether to bother or not.

My hillclimber felt better with a standard rack. Not worth changing IMO. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

They make reversing interesting... Metric is for people who can't do fractions. |

if i could get one for free , id use a much slower rack , or stick on the longer metro steering arms ,the rack at present is way to high ratio for over 110 mph on a bumpy cambered test track .. Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

I'm with Wil. We put the quick rack on because that is what you do on a race car. In reality the mini rack it pretty quick anyway and when we changed it back (due to budget) we felt it was much better. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

Fair enough, just trying to think of anything thats best to buy while im rebuilding the car, i already have full hi-los and adjusable dampers, i only need adjustable bottom arms and handling wise i think that's it if quick racks aren't of much use. Apart from a bulkhead box to save myself somewhat £250 on mirage manifolds i don't think i need much else at this stage. Thanks for the input lads. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I'd say dont do it, it will exagerate torque steer, which porbably wont be an issue on a NA racer on a twisty billiard table, but on a turbo motor up a bumby back road.... That's a good point! On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Just reading this again. Would fitting metro steering arms, with a quick rack help minimise some of the twitchy characteristics they develop. My steering rack is getting past its best so need to buy a replacement, and can't help but feel it would be nice to have a little less steering input.

Always had one... makes it fast on turns but verry nervous on long straights you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

I had a mini that was fitted with metro arms, it had a turning circle equivalent to the titanic... |

My thoughts have always been that the stock steering is sharp enough so why would u want it sharper.
13.95 1/4 mile on a 2.95 fd. Carnt be that hard to beat! |

Fitting a standard one still appears to be the best option then, especially as I will be doubling my horsepower very soon.

Personally I'd never go back to a standard rack...
