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

Please dont take me as ignorant, I am trying to make a legit question out of this...
Im not looking to shave times off my quater mile. My last car was an integra which I built up for auto cross. I used this kit http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=563116 to remove my power steering. Yes in parking lots it was harder to turn, at speed however the steering felt better in my opinion. This is a very common mod in the honda scene with good reliable results. I have already lifted the carpeting, and removed the sound deadening. The usual I dont carry a spare tire around town, no subs, no abs, light weight 15" rims, clutch/flywheel, intake and exhaust. My Air Conditioning is comming out, as it is damaged and would be expensive to repair. So I was thinking at the same time I could remove the power steering, That would be removing 2 pumps, and all the additional parts for each. There is a significant weight savings there. Is there something different about the toyota steering rack that would make this not a reliable setup? |
