Hi everyone. I have a friend from the UK who runs a EK hatch as a rally car. He is trying to find a closer ratio steering rack, but his car is a LHD drive car. (believe it or not most rally/race cars in England are still built as LHD) He know that the Civic type R rack would fit his needs but can't source a LHD unit in the UK. Does anyone know if an ITR rack is the same? And will it fit over into the EK? Or is there a better solution out on the market...

Many thanks

 

Quaife rack?

 

DC/EG racks are different from EK; though there's a mod IIRC that involves using the pinion/PS unit from the Integra onto a EK Civic rack for better ratio.

 

Here's a post with more information on the pinion swap.

 

Good find, uniseriate!

 

you need a dc/eg front subframe and run the itr steering rack

 

as posted, just run an EK rack with an integra pinion.

i'm about to do just that.

 

x2. Was only few days ago wondering about this for EK PS and was disappointed nothing seemed to exist for EK PS.

Let us know how it went.

 

Thanks everyone for your all your help! Have advised him to proceed with the Integra pinion gear swap.

Cheers!

 

FYI
