Quick rack. Yes/ No
 
Has anyone fitted the above to Blobeye Wrx ?
Was it a big improvement?
Is it a worthwhile mod ?

Have one on my spec c, very noticeable compared to my last normal jdm takes a bit getting used too but i like it, very little impute on the steering to put it into a corner.

Well with the winter now on way & predictions of heavy snowfall this year .
Driving around lock/lock might be just what you need :)

I quite fancy a quick rack on my classic.Is there one available for the earlier models?

ossett2k2 06 November 2017 01:24 AM

The one for the classic are getting harder to find,you can use a newage one with some converting,I think asperformance do parts to convert.

I've recently fitted an STI rack to my wrx, but not driven it yet.

the STI rack isn't as fast as the spec-c rack, but still an improvement in terms of speed (from memory, wrx is roughly 3 turns lock to lock, and the one I fitted was 2.4 or thereabouts).

it's a pain in the rear to fit, at least with engine in, because of the power steering hoses.

WRX 16:1
STi 15:1
Spec-C 13:1

WRX is 2.7 turns lock-2-lock

IIRC

** I think that ALL JDM STi Newages are 13:1 also.

Dave Y 06 November 2017 06:14 PM

All I have to do is find one.

Look on the American forums
You can mod a MY14 to fit Newage subframe
& they are readily avail from dealers ,

Dave Y 11 November 2017 02:12 PM

Will a JDM sti 7 fit my Newage ?
Will it need any mods to fit ?

Dave no

specC 2003+ is quicker iirc.

It depends on MY & spec. What year is the rack & what car is it from?

Dave Y 12 November 2017 11:41 PM

It's from a JDM sti 7

Then it's not a quickrack:thumb:

Henrik 13 November 2017 08:04 AM

Also note that early bug eye racks have a different link arm thread (m14 vs m16, but can't remember which way around), so tie rods are not interchangeable...

Dave Y 13 November 2017 08:08 AM

Ok so what rack do I need to look for ?

Henrik 13 November 2017 03:20 PM

I think 2002 onwards will fit straight on.

the earlier bug eye rack also fits, but you'll need the same year tie rods too.
