R/H/Side Direct Action Servo Conversion

syncro said

i just got this pm from golfgod,

By the way nissan do a pwr rack that is very close to the mk1 change the tie rod ends for vw ones join the two halves of each uj joint, install a new alternator with the pump attached to its rear [no need for vw pump assemb] or if its a combo use the servo vac as well that way you allways got servo power even if engine dies!

skyline
primera etc.




so there you have it guys another piece of genius from the golfgod………..personally ive never in my life read such a half baked load of rubbish!  the guy thinks an altenater with built in vac pump still provides vacumn if the engine driving it stops turning WHAT??? and think about it is it really easier to fit an altenater with built in p/s pump from say a transit, pajero etc to a golf engine and be messing around fabricating mounting brackets, tensioners, pullies and different belts rather than use a good old reliable power steering pump brackets, pullies and belts that will bolt on from another vag engine  and hey golfgod a skyline rack is from a rwd car, its mounted under the sump to a crossmember not mounted to the bulkhead like the fwd bluebird rack supposedly used in the TSR conversion

i know its off topic but for anyone interested here is my toyota power steering conversion, it may be more helpful than that gem of a pm up there, i feel the need to post some usefull information on the subject to cancel out that drivel i had to read there, i cant wait to see pictures of his abs/servo install if thats his thinking behind power steering

there are many different ways of converting to pas, the info contained in the above link was the approach i took and it worked out very well for me

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one getting PMs - golfgod, don't PM me again, post it here to allow discussion. Thanks.

Hey goflgod feel free to have a laugh at my 'mk1 conversion 2.0 16v on r1 carbs' in the project section- theres plenty of backyard bodging for you to see, but im afraid no pictures of my own ultra special footwell as this is now a specially strict patent-pending fabrication uber-secret which may or may not kill us all.

Join 'photobucket'- its a free image site that resizes your pics automatically for fourms like this. Its so goddamn easy peasy, even i can use it  8)

You've certainly rattled a few cages very quickly chum, best get some pics up quick so we dont all think its all a load of mooshine and laugh you off to the next forum highjack!!

When you are introduced to track driving, it is well established technique to get all the braking done, in a straight line, before you turn in for the corner. After you have mastered this, then you can leave the braking even later and "curl the tail" of the braking zone, to start the turn in just before you end braking. Basically, any car can brake best when its in a straight line. And any car corners best when its 'neutral', ie neither accelerating or decelerating. Then on the exit, you can apply power, and control the oversteer or 4 wheel drift, to accelerate as best you can for the forthcoming straight.

Its the fastest way round a racetrack.

Sure, in road situations, there will be instances when you need to brake and turn - the moose test is a good example here. But if we're considering a car modified, a fair amount, we can assume it is an enthusiast who is enhancing the car for track use or at least a similar sporty feel, within the limitations of driving on public roads.

Ill leave the fact you are braking hard enough on a bend to get ABS to kick in to one side….(unless you have very very poo tyres with a low co-eff of friction  :wink: ) I think Paul has backed me up enough to prove I know what Im on with….Have you done advanced car control? - Im off for my second course on this a few weeks through work, ?1500 worth of training at MIRA proving ground in various cars and on various diff surfaces from ice to high grip tarmac….Ill ask their views on mid corner braking hard enough to get ABS to kick in and let you know what they say  :lol:  :wink:

From - http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Dies

Die - To cease living; become dead; expire.

Now this means that if the engine dies it has stopped turning…so I think you will find Syncro is correct  :lol:

ah i missed this all i can say is i dont have big brakes and i stop fine from 100mph

if the mk1 braking system is set up correctly then it will works 100%
trust me.

 this is way to much effort when you can buy a pedal box which will do away with the bars ect of the shelf

cant wait for my pm  :mrgreen:

oh and were not all gurus but dont take kindly to idiots giving it the big um calm down a bit and read back your arsy replies then you will see who the person in the wrong

theats my 2p well spent i think :mrgreen:

still waiting for the pictures…….

I was always led to beleive ABS allows you to steer around obsticals under heavy braking and that it doesn't actually inprove the braking distance.

ABS only helps under extreme braking where it stops a wheel locking, BUT if you have good feel you can normally judge this your self by feel, plus it all depends how over active the ABS is, I have driven some cars where it cuts in very early  :?

heres a how it works just incase "The Lord almighty" is reading this, and for anyone else who just wants to know  :)

New Year and same old same old, why hasn't someone banned golfgod and locked this thread???

Its mildly entertaining but I come on here for MK1 stuff not a slanging match.

1983 Mars Red 1.8 Golf GTI
1987 Alpine White 1.8 Clipper Cabriolet

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

I have no idea why the swearing has been allowed to remain. Moderators (there's enough of them!) - can you comment on why this has been overlooked?
