Hi,i´m from Spain

I have and EK,and i hate it steering because i think that it´s so soft. I would like that my steering becames harder

What can i do?¿

thanks

hard_boiled_EG

if you have power steering remove it...

Jaujau

yes,i have power steering I don´t want to remove it, i only want it became harder...

TeamRPM_ZC

that is the only way to make you steering "harder"
without powersteering you have no help and its only you steering the car
so if you want your "harder steering"
take off the powersteering

Jaujau

i,m agree,but i think that if i remove the power steering it becanes too muuch harder

TeamRPM_ZC

if you have some mucles
then it wont be that hard
my homie is scrony, really scrony and have an Si with B20 with no powersteering and had no problems driving it.
youll get used to it after a while i guess

Jaujau

thre´s no other solution?¿

Non.
No hay otra solución amigo.
Ma, cuando el civic se está moviendo él será mucho más fácil de dirigir que cuando él y se parquea.

Translation:
No.
There is no other solution friend.
But, when the civic is moving it will be much easier to turn the wheel compared to when it's parked.

there is alot of car with tight steering,also has power steering

I'm wondering if he means he wants a stiffer suspension....

i dont have powersteering and i love it.

alphalanos

Thats what I think. In that case, stiffer springs and upgraded dampers will make your steering more responsive. Also larger wheels, maybe 16" will increase response.

i know the answer for you my friend.

replace your 2 front tires with BALD tires.
that **** makes ur car hard to steer no matter what. especially with no PS.
get some old *** tires on them front 2 shindigs

White civic

this guy wants responsive and soft

JDMgunmetalCRX

i really dont understand why u'd want to make it harder for u to steer it.
i'd kill to have PS response without the PS itself.

Jaujau

To kill the power steering i just have to remove the power steering engine¿?

jtmartin96civic

what about a steering quickener? i read about it in another thread... it goes inline with the steering column and takes out a whole turn lock 2 lock.

White civic

it feel the same ****,if you take it off

ej1love

is removing power steering as simple as taking it all off? or do you need to change/modify anything? id like to shed a few lbs but need to know if i need anything...

to jaujau:

unfortunately there is a language barrier, you can write english very well BUT it is still hard for us to understand what you mean by "harder steering."

if you could exactly explain what the car does that you dont like, it would help us find your solution.

is the steering too easy for you?

or does the car move too much when turning?

White civic

he means the steering wheel is not sharp and direct,i guess most civic owner has this problem

newtron63h

thats what i think he means, but i just want to be sure.

if thats the case, ive noticed this is how most japanese setup their steering. quite a bit of assist. europeans tend to not assist as much. and its a tradeoff. less assist gives more feedback, more effort. more assist gives less feedback and less effort.

i see a few options here:

1) leave things alone and just deal with it.

2) take off the power steering belt.

3) take off the power steering belt and remove the pump, with the lines on the rack running in a loop

4) non power steering rack.

those are the options i see.

wear racing gloves everytime you drive :p

Jaujau

Sorry my English please!!

I means that my steering is too easy to me
