I've also got a Z3 rack with the custom pipes if anyone is after a quick rack that is power assisted. Check parts for sale tonight

Hey Guys,

I might have to take my name off the list as I am thinking of going PAS with E36 rack, on the plus side I will might have a Manual rack for sale if anyone is short?

Post Sun Apr 04, 2010 11:50 pm

Any more news on this?

Post Tue Apr 06, 2010 8:26 am

I need a LHD version! Please, add me to list. Maybe I need 2 additional steering racks, for my friends, and i need ship it outside of UK (from Russia).

Hi guys!

Right, it would appear the 'pre-facelift' rack I bought had a traingular rack not a round one

So they're sending it back to me and we're no further

Does any one have a spare pre-facelift rack they'd be willing to send to Quaife? I'll pay for the courier and you'll get it back again?

Post Thu Apr 08, 2010 3:16 pm

How can you tell without pulling the rack apart?

Just so we know when looking for a rack.

Post Thu Apr 08, 2010 5:36 pm

We need the ROUND PRE FACELIFT rack

Cant say for certain without moving one of the rubber boots back like i did in the picture below

as you can see its ROUND not triangular

Post Thu Apr 08, 2010 7:00 pm

Any more progress?

Post Fri Apr 09, 2010 12:01 am

hmmm I just checked on realoem, the part diagrams for both pre and post facelift are showing tubular racks.

Post Fri Apr 09, 2010 12:06 am

ive got one here I could get boxed up ready for dispatch. its defo triangular.. only got the one sadly..

Post Fri Apr 09, 2010 12:07 am

just re read that.. is it the round one that needs sent? also got one of rthese let me know which one is required

Post Fri Apr 09, 2010 11:14 am

Ok this is getting confusing

Prefacelift diagram

Face lift diagram

As Ross said they are identical but is it just a library picture used for both??

Does anybody have a post facelift rack they could take pics of like i did?

I know my rack is definately a pre facelift as its stamped 87 and it came off a Tech 1 sport.

I'll be a back up rack donor if you want?

Post Fri Apr 09, 2010 11:16 am

ill get a picture of both of my racks later as ive got one of each.

Post Fri Apr 09, 2010 12:51 pm

Real OEM pictures are just for illustration and often are not a detialed picture of the part.

Post Fri Apr 09, 2010 2:00 pm

this doesn't bode too well for finding a pre-facelift rack to rebuild! But my name is staying firmly on the list

Post Fri Apr 09, 2010 2:10 pm

It won't be too hard I wouldn't think.

I am sure a reputable trader like spadge would be able to help out.

Post Sun Apr 11, 2010 5:14 pm

PM'd JBH, Scot I'll give you a shout if required

Any body know if a 'tubular' rack can be fitted to a 'triangular' racks case?

Post Fri Apr 16, 2010 12:59 pm

As above

Post Fri Apr 16, 2010 3:08 pm

I'm guessing JBH has had his rack sent to Quaife to be looked at...

Post Sun Apr 18, 2010 8:47 pm

Could be interested

Post Tue Apr 20, 2010 8:45 pm

I believe JBH is getting one wrapped up so I can get it sent off

Post Tue Apr 20, 2010 9:04 pm

Well i've got one ready and waiting! How long does it take!?

Post Tue Apr 20, 2010 10:07 pm

Gonna be a while yet. Imagine they will have to develop the tooling for them etc before they can produce them.

Is this any further? Has the rack reached Quaife yet?

Post Mon May 03, 2010 9:34 pm

I've got my triangular one back

JBH is sending his this week.

Post Thu May 06, 2010 9:52 am

Hi,

The problem with this conversion is
locating the 'U' Manual Racks in the
first place.

The Triangular ones are far more common,
but no tooling exits for them.

Roland Gotte has been doing this conversion
for a number of years now, on any 'U'
Rack, Manual or Power upto 2.2 lock to lock.

He charges around 900.00 euro.

Roland supplied the Manual Quick Rack
on my E30 M3 Track Car, makes moving
it about in the garage fun, on the plus side
you can cancel your Gym membership.

Have any of you guys ever driven a 6 pot E30
with 205 + front rubber and a Manual Rack ?

Regards,

The Gorilla.

Not a manual rack exactly, but i removed the PS belt from
my 325i Cab 4 years ago. Using 205 + all round and i don,t have a problem with it.
