EOI: Quick ratio steering pinion

Damn really would've wanted one but 400 bones is out of my league.
 
Is this for power steering or manual?

I don't have power steering so that sucks. On the plus side it's one less thing trying to drain my wallet.

How about offering an exchange method if you have some spare pinions ? Someone who doesn't want their MR2 off the road for long could pays extra e.g.. $120.00 for an already modified pinion and when they send you their original pinion you could refund a certain percentage e.g. $80.00 back for the faster service. Give them say two weeks after delivery to install and return original and if not returned you keep the $120.00.

Have a chat to Craig @ Extreme Custom Engineering mate, I am sure he could knock something up for similar dollars as well as being local.

OK guys -Totenkopf- has given me permission to give my input on the Quick Steer power steering pinion.
 
I have been in touch with -Totenkopf- over the past three months by email. I have kept him up to date on the different ways of having the pinion upgraded. I have based the RHD version on the LHD version that I own, but it will be produced in a different way to keep costs down.
 

-Totenkopf- believes that it would be beneficial to you guys to have just the new parts shipped to you to save down time on your MR2.
The only thing this requires is a press which most engineering places would have.
The basics of the upgrade goes like:
Remove the steering rack and remove power steering pinion.
Take pinion and upgraded parts to a place with a press and have them disassemble the pinion using the press.
Install upgraded parts into pinion using press.
Install Quick Steer power steering pinion into the steering rack.
Install steering rack.
Don't forget to top up power steering fluid.
Job done.

Yesterday I asked Mr2boost who is in the US if he had any video footage of his converted lhd MR2 with a quick steer pinion. Here's what he had to say.

"I am sorry, but I do not.

BUT, my son-in-law has a stock 1991 MR2 turbo that is exactly like my 1991 MR2 turbo (well his is SMG & mine is CR & his has a slightly different stereo & his has fog lights - other than that all the same options).

We auto-cross regularly & the benefits of the pinion in AX is dramatic. I know I prefer to drive mine over his because it is easier to slalom with mine (& he agrees). It takes the lock to lock turn from around 3.5 turns to around 2.6 turns & the steering "feel" is better too.

Also, I hope to get a GoPro camera soon & I will then post up some video showing me in the AX & then him & show how the steering wheel is moved back & forth. So, thanks for the idea.

But, sorry I don't know of any videos off hand & mine will have to wait till around Christmas probably for me to get the GoPro.

Daniel".
