Hi all -
I’m currently in the CCA DE program on the west coast and hoping to race specE30 in the next year or two. I’m trying to keep the car (89 325is) in line with the regs as much as possible as I replace things that break or need upgrading. I couldn’t resist the Zionsville steering rack, and thought that it was in line with the rules. Since then I’m beginning to wonder and have seen posts on other forums indicating it may not be a good idea. The mod uses an OEM rack from either an e36 M3 or a Z3 and some additional bushings to reduce the rate down to 3 or so turns lock to lock. because the rule reads "Steering components may be substituted" and the rack is OEM, I thought this would be OK. Searched and couldn’t find this, just hoping for a little clarification. If I need to remove it I’d rather do it now so i can get used to it again. If this rack is not allowed, would the e30M3 rack work since it’s a direct drop in and is an e30 part?
thanks,
Mark
