Hello, everyone!

Have some questions about steering Can anyone help please?

Is it possible to freeze VGS ratio for all speeds on lowest value?
and can i install VGS rack on US AP1 2003MY? Will it fit?

I saw posts about steering quickeners but with no reference to s2000, what you think?

or maybe is there another way to get quicker ratio on US AP1? i want about 1.0-1.2 turns for left to right.

Thank you

 

what you need are cool-d steering knuckles. i havent had to cross my arms over while driving in ages. i should post an in car video to show the difference.

to take a 90 degree turn, i do a quarter turn. on the highway, i can drive with my knees around tight bends. its mental. love it.

 

SmokeyGatto, thank you for answer

Did i understand correct?
With knuckles and, for example, 0.25 steering wheel turn, i`ll have bigger angle on wheels?
Video will be really good illustration of difference

What about reliability of this solution?

 

you understand correct. the only issue is that you'll also have MORE steering angle, you still retain the 2.5 lock ratio, but you wont need all of it. you'll also be limited to smaller narrower front tires. i've had them installed for 10000 miles of nyc cratered road abuse. i have no doubt in my mind that they'll outlast the car.

 

i'll try and record a video tomorrow.

off the top of my head, i can uturn on a two lane road. I can parallel park with ease, i never cross my arms on a track. I can catch snap oversteer as if it was a joke. in all honesty, aside from the narrower front tires, its the single best mod i've installed on my car. I cant for the life of me understand why cars dont come like this from the factory in the first place.....

wait there it is.... if you saw at the wheel.... sometimes i forget that i do in fact have some skills. If you saw at the wheel, it could make the car more unstable. I was blessed with having hands of a dead man. I'm dead steady, so it works for me. I cant say for certain how a less skilled driver would fair with them at high speeds. At low speeds, anyone would love this, at high speeds, it could get someone in to trouble.

 

OK, thank you i understand possible troubles on higher speeds, it is obvious things i plan this mod for track only

one more little question What is more accurate restrictions on tires? 215, 225 or what? And can them be increased via rolling arches, or aftermarket wider fenders?
I don`t need wider angle, so maybe if i install some limiter for wheel turn i can avoid those restrictions?

 

i havent figured out a way to limit the steering YET! if you can figure it out, it be a god send! i believe its 225 with a 17 7.5 with a 45 offset wheel, my stock ap1 just touches, but due to the rarity of being FULL full lock, i have no real wear on my control arm (looks slightly shinny but its nothing) . wider arches, spacers, will all alleviate this.

 

ok, thank you, man

I`ll post some results after install, but really i don`t know, when i install :\
