I read that huge post about power steering to manual steering conversion, and I understand how to do it and how it works. but I have a question, I now alot of people just rip out there power steering system and not do anything else, like no looping or breathers, So I was wondering if anyones power steering rack broke or does anyone now someone elses that broke after removing the pump and hoses, etc. I just purchased a JDM b16a2 from toronto and I'm putting it into my 98 lx and I was thinking of taking my power steering pump off to get rid of the weight and so that my engine bay doesn't look packed with alot of ****!
