Quick rack steering.

[Aram]

On the Club4AG Forum they have a groupbuy on steering racks: http://forums.club4ag.com/zerothread?id=15231&page=1
I'm thinking of buying one, anyone want to join in??

greets

[alimonos]

do you have Paypal ? If yes i would be interested depending on shipping costs to Greece and final price. Any info about them ?

it is an US group buy, i cannot imagine it can be cheaper to ship this item two times overseas and pay the tax twice. quaife is an UK brand if i am right. Here is an local dealer so i can ask for price.

you can order directly from their webshop

Quaife has a US division as well I think, but it might be better/cheaper to get it in UK. But I think its rather important that it is the version 2 rack, that has an extra tooth cut into it. Otherwise you'll have less angle than stock...

Jan has spotted the reason I wanted to join in on the US groupbuy.
There are some mistakes in the orginal Quaife design, together with xXRidgeRacerXx from the club4AG they are "developing" a better one.
And even Mk2 is not optimal, they are working on version Mk3 if I'm not mistaking.

The reasons are described halfway through the page here: http://forums.club4ag.com/zerothread?id=15231&page=2

To make sure we get that one instead of the earlier version I wanted to join in with them.

But, I would like to arrange it so that the European buyers get the racks delivered straight from the factory in the UK, this to prevent double shipping costs as mentioned by SekiguchiUeno.

First I want to know how many people are interested over here.

2. ...
3. etc

interesting what you say, didnot know that, you also say when i am going to ordinar Quaife dealership they sell me the version 1 of the rack with narrow stering angle?

then i am interested to, can you establish price for this?
i hope its possible to avoid taxes and double shipping etc..

I don't know for sure if you get version 1 at the local dealer, but to avoid any trouble it may be better to buy it through the american group buy.

The price is only going to be known when the Mk3 version is ready.
Last price was 239 dollar excluding shipping costs, so I think it will be around that amount.

hmmz 89 pounds + shipping will probably be around 150-175 euro to the netherlands. I am in

I'm interested too.. but I dont like the fact that I have to trust some unkown guy in the US with my money. From what I've read on club4ag, the organiser also doenst like dealing with european guys much (same reasons I guess).
If you guys come up with a way of handling this that seems reliable then count me in.

A year ago I bought quick steering rack from here http://www.sorvaamokarpiola.fi/ , it cost 305€ (rack, pinion and rack guide).
Mine is 2.5 rounds from end to end, but they can make it also only 1.8 rounds end to end.

They also make different kind machinings.
