Lots of good info about turn rates and ratios and things.

I guess I shouldn't have been so general. My astro van and my miata both have around 960. I shouldn't have generalized.


That sounds about right for the FF for me as well except i run 105 in lfs and 110 in the drivers

Yep I would expect something like a Miata to be small lock. The Fraizer (Lotus 7 clone my boss runs) is 900 and I am sure the JMC Works Mini Cooper S I drove for a bit was down there, the standard Cooper is a lot higher though.

you only need 101 in the drivers to get better forces, cant believe you run 105 in LFS though. You must have massive arms

Nah Karting does that to you. But now I cant drive with low FFB, and my wheel now tends to overheat due to higher motor stress. but I need my FFB.

You like a rough workout, don't you
My table, along with the wall, would come undone if I ever went anywhere close to that FF strenght.

The table defiantly needs to be heavy and wide but my monitor shakes if I get all crossed up and all over the track. but that rarely happens.

960 deg is very unlogical.
Focus and Ibiza are 3 turns lock to lock
900 deg is okay, 2.5 turns lock to lock
960 is is just plain weird..

I think the Escort I've driven in had 3.5 turns lock to lock..

regardless of how weird it is, that is the way it is for the two cars I have. From center the wheel turns 1.25 times and about 30deg past maybe more maybe less, but not much.

And what do the turns have to do with any sort of logic? Just seems kinda anal to expect it to end in a certain number.

For instance: if the mounts are not perfectly machined, which is very likely, then there will be a X% accuracy on the steering which could end up with 2.5432334 turns of steering that are negligible, but still exist.

Frex wheel set has 1080.
