Power Steering: Does this FREE mod cost TOO much?

[jdmaccord6]

yeah, i loved it when i had no PS in my old VW, handling was a lot better, but a bigger car could be a lot more frustrating to deal with.

Yea I've already thought about the non P/S rack and pinion, quaife makes a quick ratio one for civics but I dunno if you can even fit a civic steering rack in our cars. I suppose you could w/ some fab work.

Possibly....but it the rack and pinion would have to be off center to line up with the steering column, and then the passenger tie rod would be longer than the driver's side...I am not sure if you would have any clearance issues with the rear crossmember, or even if the civic RnP will bolt up properly?

Would you care to experiment???

My friend has a base Civic hatch and he didn't want PS cus it's lighter yaddy yaddy racing blah blah. Anyways, it's a miserable life man!! You can't bust U turns as easy, it's very difficult to do a decent parellel park, it's a miserable life. haha
