I am looking to add a steering quickener to my Rallycross MR2. I understand that the preferred way is to change the rack for a faster one but I also know the national champion is using a basic quickener so I think I'll do ok.
I have questions for anyone that has done so. I intend on running a 1.5:1 quickener and I need to think about what I need to purchase, where to install it, and what modifications to the steering shaft I need to make. From what I understand most of them have you cut the steering shaft and weld on a coupler that attaches to the quickener. I can't find info on what size the steering shaft is for the coupler.
Right now I'm planning on mounting it on the bracket that holds the height adjustment for the steering wheel I would love to retain the height adjustment if possible. It seems like the whole shaft is encased in a tube I assume I will need to remove along with the various brackets that hold on the turn signals and key cylinder. Am I wrong in any of these assumptions?
Pics and info on what you got, how you did it, and if there is anything likely to trip me up would be awesome.
Here's the quickener I'm currently looking at purchasing along with the matching couplers.
