Powersteering sucks.

I just went from driving my dad's 94 Civic DX coupe, to driving my 95 GSR, altough I love the acceleration, I"ve got to say...it's better without power steering. With the Civic, I FELT the road, and the car, I knew the connection, with the Integra, I can't feel it. I've taken the Civic through the canyon and it's easy to control the car without power steering, but with the power steering shit in the Integra...I'm afraid to go up the canyon. Does anyone else HATE power-steering???? I'd take it off, but my dad won't let me :(

I'm with you on this one, I used to have a CRX SI with manual everything and I loved it. I took it up to 125 mph once and I could have felt a dime on the road if I drove over it, superb. Hell the car could have gone much faster, but I think double the speed limit is way too fast to begin with.

Yea I am with you also I went from a 91 civic dx to my teg. But I have removed my powersteering so now it is not an issue. It can be done and you will only notice the better feel for the road and it is not really much harder at all to turn etc. I am happy with it.

I don't have power steering :bigthumb: Took me only a week to get used to it.

Well on the DC2's if you just simply remove the belt it can be a pain in tight spots went you have to turn from lock to lock when not moving. But you can remove the system and install a breather and it turns as easy as if it had power sterring but you have the control and feel when driving.

Yeah, it was hard to turn when at a stop, but I got used to it real fast, helps having big arms :bigthumb:

I went from a 92 teg to a 91 civic hatch then back to a 92 teg and I liked the feeling of the civic in terms of the steering and reponse way better. :rofl: big arms do help

Where do you install the breather???

Where do you install the breather???
Here is a link to how to do it, it is a long thread but well worth reading http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=184202 Let me know what ya think ;)

Thanks whtteg :)

I noticed that with power steering, you have to turn the steering wheel less compared to a manual rack. Altough I like manual steering, I'm guessing power-steering will be a good tool in auto-x (gonna start autocrossin).

Whttegg, I did'nt understand anything the guy wrote for Honda-tech, I'm kinda DUMB right now cuz I'm very sleepy, I'm gonna read it agian tommorow and hopefully I'll understand :(

hmm, if u want to feel the road, why dont u guys get stiffer shocks, and drop the car alittle?
