ronald_loulan Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I hv a ke70,I'm thinking to increase turning radius..... Any idea...?? :dance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towe001 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Increase the turning radius ? Don't turn the steering wheel as far :dance: Or if your talking about being able to turn the car in a smaller circle. Take out the steering stops, but then you'll start scrubbing the tires against the guards at full lock. And/or lengthen the knuckle arms (or whatever their called - the things where the ball joints are mounted for the steering arms) but you start running into weird handling querks..... Better still, three-point-turns :abuse: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Increase the turning radius ?Don't turn the steering wheel as far :abuse: :dance: cracking up here Maybe try shorter steering arms. Not sure what car you could get them off. AE86 power steering arms perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattl Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I hv a ke70,I'm thinking to increase turning radius.....Any idea...?? :) Superglue the steering wheel so it only goes straight ahead. You can't increase the turning circle any more than that :lolcry: matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood§tok Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 why do you need to increase the turning circle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I think he means increase turn-in, Get yourself a set of AE86 power steering steering arms... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebuchernezzer Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Alternatively you could either cut and shut the existing arms (dodgy version) or (preferably) weld on another taper with gussets on it further down the arm. Same result minus the silly price tag. Some people probably don't like the idea of welding a casting though, it can be done in a structurally sound manner (depending somewhat on the casting itself) if you are game and have a good welder. I believe there is a kit for the FC3S RX7 that does just that but in bolt on form. Like so. I think Satoru Works makes aftermarket short arms to (probably even more expensive then ps arms).

irokin Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I wouldnt ever encourage anyone to do that. Unless you seriously know how to weld cast iron properly just spend the money or put up with the setup youve got now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 My cranks on my pushbike are cast (iron ?) and have been welded at one stage. I weigh 80kg and regularly drop off two metre ledges, and I haven't had a problem with cracking on the weld or anything. Therefore I am a firm believer that you CAN weld cast xxx without a large problem providing you aren't stick welding or something stupid like that, and that you are competent in welding.... Just my two bobs worth.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
