Hi.
Could not find related topic here.
So, the issue is, that current ratio, I think, is 15.++ takes ages to navigate. Specially on track.
Are there any known solutions to replace the rack for quicker one?
Drilling new holes for steering tie rods are not an option.
Congratulations to vtecmec for winning May/June's Lude Of The Month, with his DIY Turbo BB1 build.

Lower steering ration in Gen 4
After spending the last 3 months searching for just a replacement steering rack (though I'd have gone with uprated) and finding nothing, nothing new, nothing refurbed, nothing, I'd say there is nothing out there.
Smaller steering wheel?

You are right, 2ws and as noted, 4th gen .
Yes, the smaller steering wheel is an option. However, since the rack has a play and is slightly leaking, it must be replaced anyway..
If everything else fails, read the manual!
