CX/DX eg owners: how is driving w/o p/s?
I'm gonna get a DX and the car isn't driveable, I'm concerned that it'll be hard to drive it when it's fixed since it doesn't have P/s.
EDIT: people taht have bought from hmotorsonline esp in midwest/east coast/ da dirty souf how much has shipping been for ur engine. In particular a d15b longblock.

can you curl 8lbs?
if not.. than it might be a little difficult - but if you have a 6yr old sister.. she could steer while you shift..

hmmm curl 8lbs? I'm pretty sure I can, I'm pretty weak for a fat guy. I guess I'll have to start working out. At least I'll have PopEye forarms.
We'll see hopefully it's not to bad. I've never driven a nonPS car, I have a DA right now.

You get used to it. I have a 97 DX coupe with manual steering. It isnt as bad as you think, besides, when you drive a car with power steering it feels weird.

yea i had the same debate when i was about to get a cx.
just listen to all the people here, you dont need it. i got used to it very quickly.
it also gives you a better control of the car and since a civic is less than 3000lbs you really dont need it.

Re: CX/DX eg owners: how is driving w/o p/s? (integraXTC)
if it was a huge PITA,honda would have never sold it without the P/S.it has to be driveable by practically anybody,so i'm pretty sure you can handle it.i don't think any manufacturer would sell a car that any potential buyer couldn't drive.believe it or not,this car was actually designed to sell to a large variety of buyers-not just punk *** 17 year old ricers.
adding wider tires does make steering while sitting still a little heavier,but i'm sure your six year old sister could still handle it.

I just drove my buddies cx with no powersteering while I have it in my car. It's not that bad if you're rolling. But from a stand still trying to turn the wheel it becomes a little more difficult.

like i said,they didn't build this car to discriminate,so i'm sure practically ANYBODY can handle it.

Driving my DX is alot better then driving both of my parents cars with powersteering.
It takes a little more effort when the car isnt moving but you'll get used to it within 5 minutes of driving the car
