I read somewhere there was a difference between Phase 1 and Phase 2 Xsara racks. Anyone know what the difference is? Are they both quicker than the standard 6 rack?

Sorry for the n00b question. Smile

Use the gti6 PAS ram to limit the lock unless you are going 5 speed

I am going to a 5 speed as have access to a Xsara box. Was interested to know rack differences, as in whether it was worth going on the hunt for a P1 Xsara rack or stick with a P2. Smile

thanks :-)

I'm sure the P1 Xsara's rack is the quicker of the two. They're just over 2 turns lock to lockSmile

The later Xsara's I have no idea about tbh

IIRC the lower shaft knuckles are slightly different.

I have fitted a phase one rack to mine, excellent mod, it is 2.4 turns lock to lock but feels more like one full turn either way to get full lock because of the ram I think, top mod though steering feels instant and car is very darty Smile

Yep, I deffo want to do it, just trying to identify whether the P2 rack I can get my grubby mitts on is the same, or slightly slower.

P2 rack is about 2.6 from what I could see. So not alot in it. I have a spare if needed.

I think they are slightly slower as I did a bit of research before buying mine and most threads on sites I went on said the phase 2 rack was slower although I could be wrong
