    who is not running any power steering?

    well, I found the problem with my f22a head. I thought that it may have been the heat from the header that caused the corner piece connected to the ps bracket to give. well, now I believe that like some of you guys said it must have been the ps pump. the two bottom bolts were gone and the one holding it on the top of the head was still there. with the vibration and the belt pulling the pump it caused it to break what I was wondering is if any of you guys are running w/o ps. when I replace the head I may not put the pump back on. I figure it will free up some hp and reduce a little weight. lemme know


    she is down....but definately not out

    ive been runnin no powersteering for 2 years, and I like it. You might have to get used to it, its a little tougher at first.

    oh yea...forget parallel parking, lol

      I don't have power steering...I drive a civic though. But I had no power steering on my cb for about a month and it wasn't too bad.

                  When I get another Honda, removing the PS will be one of the first things I do, that and greasing/replacing the steering rack. I hate the feel of Honda PS, its kind of um, cheezy. I drove my old Accord for three months without PS, and I loved every second of it. Parking isnt as bad as people say it is either. Unless you just have rubber bands for arms

                      The line that went from my the ps pump to the little resovoir kept on braking off when i would race and i would have ps fluid all over. Got pissed off one night cut off the belt and took off the pump. The only thing i have left is the lines. Not sure how to loop them and everything. I love no ps though.

                        Yea i have been without power steering for a year. It takes a little getting used to and all but it will get easy. I just like it cause it makes the steering response so much better and you have more control over the wheel.

                          I had no PS for about a week in my '88 'lude, and it wasn't bad at all, though harder when not moving or just crawling. It was a lighter car though.

                          I'm still trying to gather more detail info of how the car behaves without the PS. Bump steer? 10mph? 80mph? Evasive menuvours at different speeds, etc?

                          Do any state inspections ever check for something like this?

                            ive been running without p/s for a couple years, and i love it. with lines looped, its even easier than just removing the pump/belt. i even parallel park with it sometimes.

                              power steering is overrated. it helps abit with parallel parking but ive been without it for about 2 years or so..no problems at all
