Is someone ever installed a steering quickener on a BF GTX? I planning on installing one but before hacking the steering column, I would like a little bit more info on how to install it..
yes exactly that! It make the car a little bit more like a gokart and make unwanted slides a bit easier to recover in rally racing! I think a 2:1 is a little bit too extreme for our PS pump so I would go to a 1,5:1. It would make 2 turns lock-to-lock for the steering wheel!
Nice. Wonder how it will work out for you. I have thought about this in the past. All though now running an mx3 gs rack and a small 13" steering wheel I find I have no need for one
So before I start, I just want to say that if you atempt this mod, it will be illegal as your not supposed to modify or cut a steering column. I do it on my car as it is going to be a rally car with full roll cage and won't be used as a daily driver. Yes It can be more dangerous to have this because it remove the crash zone of the column... In my opinion, it's not worse tant have a straight race column.
There is alot of fabrication needed for this mod and it should not be done by someone who just learned welding.
So I started figuring this up yesterday on how I was going to install the quickener while still being able sto swap a stock column if something happen or break during a rally.
first thing to do was to cut the end of the column and get the shaft out.
second step was to cut the column to accept the 8 inch long quickener
As I wanted to keep the universal joint on the steering rack untouch to accept another stock column, I had to be creative to attach the stock attachment to my new universal joint.
I used the end of the cutted column to get things straight
this is where I am now with this.
I need to shortened the part after the universal joint as now it move the column too far left.
