hey guys, I know e36 and Z3 rack swaps are common, but has anyone on here ever used a steering ration quickener? something like this:

apparently they are common in the rally world.

this seems like a cheap and easy way to cure the stock e30s slow steering, and id be interested in seeing whats out there.

thanks

Not too sure about the rally world commonm in us stock car racing.

probably more work to split the steering column fab the brackets & mounts to fit it, than fit a z3 rack

I want one, even my 3.0 turns is too slow.

I found 3 on that site, they're 175-200mm long, any thoughts where you could fit them? there's not space between bulkhead and rack. . .

Can anyone suggest how to test if the boot lights are staying on with the boot shut?
