Manual rack?
 

Does anybody drift with a manual rack in an fc? if so how do you like it?

Thanks

i used to and there is a regular that does. its not bad actually. either a de powered power rack or a manual. neither are too hard to get used to but the manual rack is more turns lock to lock so it may be a little easier in the parking lot and such but they catch just as easily as a powered rack.

manual rack fails.

you are so gay

^^^ i fucked your mom:icon_tup:

even gayer.

i <3 my manual rack.

man up, or go home.

de-powered - power racks suck.

I heart my newly completed PS rack with a MR2 Electric Powersteering pump

that would be nice. lol i retract my previous statement.

once i can afford to replace that non sense if it fails on me, i'll look into PS for my track car.

does anyone know of a supplier that sells angle kits for a manual rack?? i know i can put a spacer but i want a tie rod and end setup

im currently looking for a manual rack. i found one on ebay but no money at the time...any one know where i can get one? oh and how does it do with just the knuckle mod?

You gotta rock a de powered rack. Better ratios FTW.

+1 if it was easy would it realy be as much fun? :)

really he is how it goes for me. PS<Manual rack<depowered rack<electric. The PS rack has a quicker ratio but powered it feels squishy, depowered however it has great response and a quicker turn.

dude i got to session my friends NA FC with PS today, and i actually liked it. great for driving the streets, but i prefer manual still.... way more driver feedback.

I've been drifting a manual rack for about a year now.

I like it. Some times the extra turns can be an issue but I love the feed back from it. I can really feel where the wheels are.

I just got a S4 PS rack which I am going to gut and depower to get the better ratio.
I got the PS rack due to the availability of angle mod kits.

i used to have a manual rack in my car, it was ok. then i bought a S5 rack, quickest ratio they made for the FC, and depowered it. to all those people who say it's a "pain" or "hard" to daily drive a 7 with this depowered rack, your pussies. the only complaint i have is that cruising down the freeway requires much more attention, cause it's way quicker and responsive then a manual rack. and properly depowerd, it gives just as good of feedback as my manual ever did.

manual rack gets tha job done. i wuldnt mind a ps rack but that shit looks nasty sticking off an engine.ive been rocking a manual rack since day 1, and all i need now are modified knuckles and to straighten out the lca and tie rods laterally

wow i totally forgot i posted this.

thanks for all the feed back

so i just picked up another s4 t2 and to my suprise it has a manual rack, ive never seen one in an fc before.

so a depowered ps rack is a ps rack with looped lines and no ps pump?

word..and i drift my FB with no PS...not a problem for me at all. i just have to get the concept down.

:AA:

I don't drift but I run DE and such with a manual rack in my TII and I think it's great. I wouldn't mind a slightly quicker ratio though.

ya I have a manual rack in my fc and LOVE IT!!!

that's one way, but not the right way. tearing it down, removing all the seals, regreasing it, welding the valve body, and sealing the line inlets and outlets is the proper way. Apex944 and i did this to a S5 rack of mine and it's brilliant.

Manual racks are like big ass titts! You really get to feel it out. I love mine!
