[Mk2] [Generic] Converting to manual steering
Hi all, may seem a bit strange but I wanna do away with the power steering setup in my mk2 and was wondering if anyone knew if a mk1 rack would go on ok???

You asked the question, i answered it.
With enough time and money, anything is possible.
Why not fit a rack from a UK Rev1? It'll bolt straight in.
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Converting to manual steering
That's the reply I was looking for I didn't know the rev 1 didn't have power steering that's happy days for me. Thanks for your help. Need the pump etc to be out the way to make room for some exhaust pipes lol
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Converting to manual steering
exhaust pipes up front?
I dont think a non power steering rack will bolt into a power steering racked mr2, without some fabrication.

So to fit a v12 in a mkII you need a front exit exhaust? That's gonna be awesome
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Converting to manual steering
A little fabrication I don't mind, just want something that's almost the same in dimensions as the original.
I'm running a GT4088 turbo with front mount intercooler which is why the exhaust pipe are there

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Converting to manual steering
so your intercooler and exhaust is going to be near the front bumper?
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Converting to manual steering
The intercooler is gonna be in the front bumper replacing the air con rad and radiator ( get a thicker intercooler that way ) as for the exhaust ill probably run it parallel to the pipe going to the turbo back down to the rear. Not to sure yet
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Converting to manual steering
So not a front exit exhaust then
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Converting to manual steering
Maybe, I haven't decided yet, gotta see how much room I have
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Converting to manual steering
Never see that mr2 before. Yeah for the v12. Similar setup but ill have 2 seats lol
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Converting to manual steering
Bolted the rev1 rack up today, bolts into the chassis all well and good but the steering column doesn't reach just bought a rev1 to match this rack, hopefully lol
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Converting to manual steering
Received the rev1 steering column today, is it necessary to to change the whole column or can I just change the crash link? Hopefully get time to have a go at it tomorrow
