This cannot continue due to very high costs. Thank you to every one involved forr your help and input.
I have emailed Quaife about doing a quick rack for the E30. They don't currently do one but have expressed interest if there is interest from us.
They can only manufacture manual racks so you'd need to source a manual one to fit it to. From others I've seen they'll be in the region of £100 each. They can make it any ratio we require so if we can come to a decision on what ratio would be best that'd be good, I presume something like 2.5/2:1?
The catch is I need a certain amount of interest/orders before anything goes ahead so if you'd be interested please put your name down.

I've just fitted a manual rack to what was a pas car.
When you say fit it to a manual rack is this somthing that anyone can do or would a garage need to add on the quick rack to the manual rack?
I'd want a pretty quick one 2.5 lock to lock

They email I had today indicates almost 20 although if we can get something close then hopefuly we can sort something.
Jason, whats the difference between the pre and post facelift racks?
Jhonno, I'll ask if the racks can be made either way.

Hi I tried to do a group buy a few years ago so looked into this in detail early cars have a round rack bar which means quaife can cut the teeth, later racks are triangular so you cannot get the teeth cut.
