Race Car Steering

[WABIT]

is there any kits out there to have full locked wheels while turning the steering wheel under 360 degrees?

1 turn lock to lock is pretty scary. I've seen it done using the hydraulic steering head off a forklift, this was on a sprint car though.

Qaife make a quick rack conversion - 2.9 turns lock to lock.

Go drive a race car on the road and see if you still want a quicker steering ratio, especially non-assisted...

How 'bout this one ? I think they're 270degrees lock to lock.

sorry for the silly questions but its for good measure

This is what we used to use on our beetles set up for motorkhana's - never needed anything for the track!

i'm confused why would you want more sensitive steering for higher speeds? i mean maybe slightly for the tight corners but sheesh full lock 1 turn? you'll be fishtailing all over the place wont you lol?

Race cars don't have a lot of lock to begin with(ie you'd have to do a million point turn if you had to do a u turn). So a quick rack and reducing the amount the wheel can turn would give you the same feeling
