Guest Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Looks real good! Almost like factory. I've got just a couple of questions. How are you gonna connect the steering rack to steering colum? and do you think maybe a gusset will be necessary for further strengthening those mounting brackets?

These mounts aren't going anywhere, they're definitely stronger than they were on the s13.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87TsiOwner Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Will that rack work with the stock ps pumps? I know that different racks require different pressures and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 That im unaware of! This one isn't going to be fed by a stock pump anyway though so its no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Dont Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Lookin good Jay, ill be by the shop later today. You may need to cut the rear off the gto pan off to clear the rack, I saw it done on a rwd probe it might give you more clearance to rout the exhaust too.

BOOSTED88tsi Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) I got them from monument 40 bucks for both. I might need to get the sleeved type as I don't like the adjustability on these. This is my daily driver and will be drifted on the side. Picking up my oil pan and motor mounts this weekend... let me know if your available scott. Edited May 20, 2011 by BOOSTED88tsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
