uberklasse Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 does anyone have one in thier car? I currently have power steering and thinking about simply disabling like most people seem to do however, I was told that a manual rack would be better. Any thoughts, help, opinions?

944-Spec#94 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I have a manual rack and i love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Rea Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I swapped one into mine and like it very much. I personally like the feel it gives me of the track, plus it just simplifies one more system of the car. Looks like you got lucky with a very simple fix on your engine...very cool!! s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Benbow Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I had a manual rack on my car for a while. I never confirmed this but it felt like the ratio was not as tight as the power rack. I found that I had to move my hands more often in tighter corners. Steering effort between manual and power (without power) was not appreciably different. The power rack is a bit heavier (in weight) with some extra plumbing that is attached to the rack. My manual rack gave up the ghost and seized during the recent POC TT at Streets. I had a very minor off (~10 mph) that might've contributed. All those manual racks come from the '83 models and have a lot of miles on them. Finding one in good condition that is still nice and tight may be a challenge. I've gone back to my power rack and packed it with grease.

uberklasse Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 thanks everyone! Chris, what kind of grease did you pack it with? Seems like most guys keep the power rack, but just cap it off. It's slightly leaking on mine and I am trying to simplify as many things as possible with my car...my electronic gremlins are STILL haunting me.

Chris Benbow Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Jason, I have no idea what kind of grease my mechanic used. Though from the various sources I consulted it didn't really see to matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
