My Type R has just sprung a leak from the input shaft on it's quick rack so I'm looking for a replacement - 2.25 turns lock to lock.

Thanks

 

Hens teeth in a haysatck there fella.

your best off just sticking a standard 2.75 in for now and getting yours rebuilt at westernpowersteering in bristol. It'll cost £200, but i doubt youll find a classic 2.25 anytime soon, let alone for less than that plus the cost of a 2.75 stopgap. And that way you essentially get a brand spankin new rack! they will need it for a few weeks though!

If you do go that route, make sure you definately specify that its not an exchange rack!

Thats my 2p anyway.

 

I got my Blob quick rack refurb`d for £100!

 

The type r's normally come with a 2.5 turn to turn fast rack, they should be a little easier to get a hold of

 

^ theyre not as desirable, but were never as common! so theyre just as difficult to get as the better 2.25 as far as i know.

 

Might be worth taking a punt on this and getting it modded to fit

thanks for the info. however I'm in no rush and can take mine out and wait until its been rebuilt.

yeah, I've been quoted £60-£160 + VAT depending on what needs doing.

mine came with a 2.75 for some reason. What does it take to fit a newage rack to a classic?

 

hybrid drop link needs making, and the lines need bending and fettling to get to the newage position.

Not difficult, just time consuming and enfuriating!

I run a newage in a classic, forunately faffing the lines was ok as the engine was out! engine in it would be a mare!

 

Hmmmm I may well just keep up the search for a classic 2.25 rack I think lol! Thanks for he input though.

 

That is the easy way if you can find one!

FYI, a friend has been looking pretty intently for the last few years with no luck! .... fairly sure hes jumped at the ebay link listed above!

 

What versions did them come on?

 

got one here of a 1998 jdm version 4 sti ra v-limited

pm me with an offer if its any good ;-)

 

Still looking as ones offered aren't 2.25

 

Bump as still looking ........
