    Manual steering rack!

    I can get manual steering racks at my local junkyard.

    If someone is interested, I can buy a rack and ship it to you.

    Those would be around 60-70 plus shipping


    Who's interested?

    Thanks Carotman, you rock hard.

    So Jim? You want one too????

    Anyone knows how much those weigh?? That would be easier to find how much shipping would cost.

    Flaming River lightweight (aluminum) rack & pinions weight about 15 lbs. I can only guess that a stock would weight no more than twice as much (30 lbs).

    :lol If I were to get another 3g, yes I sure would. I just think a manuel rack is much better than a disconected & drained power one.

    Does anyone know where I can find a power rack from with the inner tie rods? I've got a leak on my shoes and was informed the whole thing needs to be replaced, plus the tie rods are shot.

    Any good sized autoparts store should be able to order you one. some might even have one in stock. Mine was $130 with a $35 core fee remanufactured by Crown. It came with tie rods. Post again if you have any questions.

    I just got a manual rack from AccordEXi (he's in Canada). When I install it, I'll take a pic of it side by side with the power rack so we can all see the difference. I'm also hoping the manual rack will give better handling than the drained power rack.

    Yeah, I need a manual rack, as my power one leaks, so I want to tear out the whole power steering system.

    hey Jim, or really anyone out there.....

    I currently do have the power rack (obviously), and as many of you know, I'm an Auto-x'er at heart, and this hatch is what I use. Sooo..... how will a manual rack effect my auto-x abilities? Is it really a big diff. bet. the two in the 3G?

    i would think that for autocrossing you may as well keep it. the reason you would want to take it out is to squeeze that last bit of power out that the power steering sucks from the engine but when you're doing a lot of quick steering like that i'd think it's worth it to keep it and sacrifice the minimal amount of power the power steering it taking from the engine. just my thoughts, i don't really know what somebody with experience would say.

    Well I'll go past the other benefits, like weight savings and less parasitic power loss and give you the answer you want. Manuel racks vs power racks are known to give out better feel of the road in most cars where a manuel rack was avaliable. This could benefit you by allowing you to get a better read of what the tires and suspension are up to and in turn allow you to work your controls better to improve you times. I wanted a manuel rack for that reason. It was just that doing the revalved Bilsteins and eventually custom ground controls was going to come first.

    If you go to autozone they can order you a manual rack and pinion, because they carry parts for canadian models of cars along-side US models. Here is the link to there webpage with the Manual R&P.MANUAL R&P (Autozone)
