I am considering putting a steering quickener in my Subaru LE fabrications sells one for $530 + $200 core charge. http://column.landefabrication.com/ has anyone used one or have anythoughts on this? I would not purchase one, but I build one my self with a new style quickener this one to be exact. summits is only $160 http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=HRE-522B2&N=700+115&autoview=sku so any thoughts suggestions? I don't think I would have a problem over loading the steering pump as I would still be doing the same about of wheel turn I would just be doing it with less movement of my arms. this would be for my rally cross car Richard D. ps. if it goes well I might try making more for off road cars. oh yeah and I am a machinisit that is back in school for Mechanical Design Engineering.
yes, the engine is in. Fuji has a quicker steering column as well, there is also quicker sterring racks instead of colums
I know a couple guys running the L and E setup. One of them is Harvey Epstein out in CO. He's a tuner in Boulder and has it on his 02 Wagon. You can contact him at 303-579-8830 during normal business hours. Or you can PM him over at awdpirates.net (TheBoostCreep is his screen name). He's a very helpful guy and will gladly answer all your questions. You might be able to meet him over Christmas time, too. He'll be in the MN area.
I decided that building a column would be better for cost, but I'm just wondering if some one around here MN has one that could confirm or unconfirm the stability at high speeds 80+ mph It sounds like I should build a few for off road use. First I'll build one for 91 legacy then I'll try a GC8 ,if the Legacy one works. I figured I'd build a jig that can hold in on center and be able to adjust for length... so if anyone has driving impresions let me know. Richard D. Rochester MN is where i'll be doing the work.
