How can i tell if i have a quick rack or not?
There is a sticker on my rear window saying i have 1, but that cant be deffinate as its a sticker....

 

Count the number of wheel turns from full lock one way, to full lock the other, from memory a normal impreza rack is about 3.5, the STi type whatever quick racks about 2.75....

Simon,

Sounds about right IIRC not all classic STi's were fitted with a Quick rack.

with the RA`s i think it was an optional extra

 

Was it standard on the STI 5 Type-R's?

 

some just 2.25 turns Sti RA? John felstead knows chapter and verse on this

 

Some are manual racks....proper man's steering that, unlike the limp wristed girly power steering most Imprezas have

 

I've done this great mod!

As said:
Full lock one way then full the other. Be accurate.

Quick rack = 2.25 turns Sti V3 = 2.7 ish

Some Imprezas are fitted with QR and can have window stickers to advertise it.

This is a very nice mod.

Price of a good classic QR can be high, £400+
Fitting about 2 hours and simple.

Driving?
Just great, steer almost anywhere without releasing the wheel.

If you can, do it!

 

I have a quick rack sticker on my rear windscreen, i guess i have a QR thn!
How many turns for the STI v5 thn?

 

I think you will find it 2.25.
Simply do the test to find out!

 

Ill get on the case when i get in from work
