Z3 rack: best mod to date!!

[Ian Bowers]

I really like the way the Z3 rack with powersteering feels. It's still assisted, but the weight is pretty damn respectable, and you can easily feel the grip level. I <3s it.

hmmm that sounds pretty good. I need a new rack badly.

ooooo yes you do!

[grantlacey11]

all of you get one! I'm honestly surprised more people haven't done the swap.

[warmseth]

where'd you get yours?

[Mullet Bullet]

Well looks like you just talked me into it, now I need to crawl under my car to see if my rack is leaking. I hope it is now lol

[Ian Bowers]

I got mine from Partsgeek, ONLY because Blunttech didn't have one in stock at the time I needed it.

Contact Blunt. He's the fucking shit.

[grantlacey11]

yeah hit blunt up.

I got mine from http://www.rackdoctor.net/ I payed a little more about a month ago. Their prices fluctuate.

Can you run these with out power steering? (I'm a steering rack noob) Or would I have to return my car to power steering?
I currently do not have powersteering, as It didn't work and the PO removed the belt to temporarily "fix it", once I purchased the car I installed one of Silence's power steering block offs.

It will significantly increase steering effort over the stock rack; I would run it with power steering if I could.

[grantlacey11]

i mean, just re-attach the hoses and get a new belt? not hard at all.

were there different racks for the Z3s since they had different motors, or is there just one?

[Ian Bowers]

There were different racks. The 96 M44 1.9l Z3 has the 2.7T rack, as far as I know.
