Really stupid question mats but have to ask. Are the racks from Jarmo for left hand drive cars only . Could do with one, on one of our very tight cicuits here which has two consecutive hairpins. Had two huge OFFS(over 160kmh) this weekend at Kyalami in both my cars(white track car and the 3.2 24v in sepperate sessions). Both from over correction on first laps with cold tyres so I dont think a quick rack will make any difference to me. Lucky no damage only had to chainge overalls twice.

over correction problems will be worse with a quick rack, luckily I learned to drive my car at speed on a wet track -> low speed but still on the edge. Over corrected a lot before getting used to the rack, now it's fantastic. I can catch pretty much anything, the only problem is when you actually have to move your hands on the wheel, that's when it gets a bit problematic... :shock:

Hi Kevin!
Sorry for not replying earlier but I've been busy in the garage :)

However I don't know if it will fit a right hand drive car. :?:
I guess it all comes down to what the difference between the racks are. What I mean is that if it's just the housing that differs and not the both interior axis then it could work.

Here are pictures of the old (with grease) and new internal parts beside each other:

This is why I've been busy in the garage.
The pic shows pretty much the test setup with the original hose from the AFM. I need to modify that later to get an airfilter in place.
Hopefully I will get all the small things ready this weekend and be able to try to crank it during the coming week at the latest.
