EmZvr Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I really wanted one but after I researched a bit I'm not so sure any more.. But my steering rack started leaking recently and I need your advice. A little comparison: Civic MB3Overall ratio 17.1Lock-to-lock 3.48 Civic MB6Overall ratio 17.5Lock-to-lock 3.23 MG ZSOverall ratio 16.4 (not verified number)Lock-to-lock 2.5 I don't know how to interpret "overall ratio" but the lock-to-lock is a problem. According to MG ZS owners it has a horrible turning radius. A guy in the mg-rover forum even said it is more difficult to maneuver than a bus If I understand correctly MG limited the front wheels movement because it has big wheels and otherwise the wheels would rub. So the rack is faster but at full lock my wheels will be less turned than my current steering rack. What are your thoughts on this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roj Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Maybe just get an MB6 rack and a smaller steering wheel so it feels faster? The turning circle on an MB isn't amazing in the first place, I can't imagine how bad the MG must be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Depends what you want to achieve other than dealing with the leaky rack you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmZvr Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Okay, I'm scratching this out of my mods wishlist. Just wanted to hear your thoughts. The idea was a faster rack. Smaller steering wheel sounds nice but I want my airbag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmZvr Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 I already have an ITR steering wheel. But it's the normal version, not the Momo one. I didn't know it was smaller than the stock wheel. Or is it only the Momo version that is smaller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roj Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Yeah the Momo ones are a bit smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhoath83 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 The mg zs rack defo makes a difference in steering response but yeah it dose rub on full lock but only on the arch liner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yeah the ITR Momo SRS wheel is smaller and is plug and play with the airbag too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayTripleR Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 If I wanted to improve the steering rack say for the track is there any companies out there that do it for my mb6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
