Im getting ready to do alittle work on my car, and I was thinking of removing the power steering. For weight reduction, and free power. Has anyone ran the celicas without power steering? If you have how do you like it? How did you do it, my integra I took the pump out and essentially looped the 2 lines with a T in them with a reservior on it to allow for the preasure to be reduced. Any advice? thx

Its only driven about 50-60 miles a week, Im looking to make it a little more fun without spending alot of money, I ran my acura like that for a year without problems, and as far as I know it was driven for about a year after that without problems untill it was totalled. But if it is terrible without the power steering I probably wont do it. This is one of those things I wish I could try to see if I liked it without spending money since it is reversable.
QUOTE(Mynzeyes @ Jul 24, 2006 - 9:02 AM) [snapback]460196[/snapback] removing the power steering from a car that is designed for it is horrible for it, and idiotic. the gears and teeth are not meant to be under the stress, and it will wear out a LOT quicker. and then you get to change that. that'd be fun.  .How is it idiotic? Has anyone ever switched a manual steering rack from a corolla or other car into a celica? |
