LuLu Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Well...Like the thread title asks...Has anyone among you SGT owners, had any experience with this? I have the 2014 FRPP catalogue in hand. The part I am asking about is FRPP M-3200-R "Boy Racer" steering rack. Also listed is the M-3200-EPAS rack, but that's the electric rack for later models of the Boss 302. I am asking about this; http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-2009-Ford-Racing-FRPP-Mustang-FR500C-Boy-Racer-Steering-Rack-M-3200-R-/231075303089?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35cd294eb1 I know it's an eBay listing, prolly means its an older part and discontinued too, but it sounds interesting to me. Anyone here try this out yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavisky Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Can't say I've ever seen that item before. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has any experience with it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Patten Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 The M-3200-R steering rack is a quick ratio unit. I have it on my car and on another Shelby GT as well. The rack is a discontinued part but, Rehagen Racing has some left over from the Mustang Challenge Race Series. They originally went for around $1000 but can be found for a lot less now. I believe that it has a 15.6:1 steering ratio. They were standard on the FR500C cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavisky Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 That ad lists it as 15.6:1, how does that compare to the factory ratio? Looks like a neat item, not sure I'd spend $757.00 on it though personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I'm not sure but, I think that stock ratio is 16.7 or close to it. I agree that for a street car it's not worth it but, if you are racing the car it's one of those things that you'll spend the money on.

I'm interested because I do race my SGTs, but I don't know what the stock/OEM ratio is, so, can't predict any improvement, let alone justify the expense for minor improvement. Just because FRPP developed it for the FR500 race car isn't enough. Don't want a 500 buck toilet seat from Air Force 1. Mr. Albino500, since you have driven on one, care to comment further?

Kevin Patten Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 If you are on a limited budget - spend the money elsewhere - like in seat time. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
