hey guys i have a 82 SA with a carby 13b and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with modding steering for extra lock? (modding knuckle, steering rack spacers ect)

any feedback about the DO'S and DONTS would be appreciated

 

Ok, first correction you don't have an SA or its not an 82, one or the other. LOL

Don't drift, thats my recommendation.

 

you don't have a steering rack unless someone put one in it.

 

 

Did this come from the great white north, eh? Its not an SA as in series 1, its an
SA series 2 (as in an FB in the states). Outside of the US all 1st gens had SA
serial numbers I think. I know thats true for europe and australia. I suspect its the
case for canada as well.

 

what he said +1

im sure you can modify the knuckles, do a little research

 

Yeah it's in Australia, and I didn't ask whether I should drift it or not.

 

Oh your in ozzy land then, that makes sense.

 

If you do plan to drift the factory steering actually does it surprisingly well. Go aftermarket (RB or Whitelines) rear sway bar, and keep the factory front. Youll find it extremely tail happy, and pretty easy to control if you arent running really sticky tires and it isnt too low.

 

im running an ST rear sway and love it! just another option

 

I don't have any experience with the ST stuff. Otherwise I would have suggested that too

 

Cheers for the feedback mate 👍🏻 is it worth getting a front strut or sway bar? It will have coilovers soon

 

Pretty much any of the aftermarket struts work pretty well EXCEPT the KYB's. They suck. Avoid them.

 

+1 to this

 

I am looking at modifying the knuckle on my 85 for more steering angle. I plan on keeping the ackerman angle but moving it in .5" (12mm) and see where that gets me.

 

I'm clueless with this sort of stuff but let me know how you go with it

 

I'll be sure to post pics
