im looking at a car that im guessing came with no power steering stock because the car is all stock its a 93 civic DX hatchback so i was just wondering what you guys thought about not having power steering

thanks lewy

well, depends on you... do you plan to autocross the car? if so you may want no ps so you can get used to feeling the turns. if you just want to cruise, the ps may be your best friend next to a/c. if you plan to canyon cross then ps can be your worst enemy. if that sucker goes out on you at because of whatever reason (your motor shuts off, pump goes out, the belt busts, etc) you can go smack into a wall or worse, fly off a cliff because you werent expecting to have to pull so hard into the turn. i've seen it happen in glendora canyon. ruined a perfectly nice ek sedan to the wall (wonder if he's on this site at all). it all depends on your priorities dude...

Only complaint: Parallel parking. Other than that I don't have any other difficulty

No complaints with my CX either aside from the parallel. Like the way it feels and with a car so light, you don't even notice if you are moving at all.

well checked out the dx..it was in an accident..so..yeah..expletive that 1..but drove down the road..and found a 95 civic CX ;-) 113k miles..hopped on that **** quicker then hell..but yeah..no power streering isent as bad as i thought ;-) iv just always heard story's of ppl with no power steering and how hard it is to turn..but i guess it was just on like huge old school trucks

when i drive... power steering or not... it all feels the same. you won't notice a difference between the 2 after 10mph.

Also, power steering are notoriously known for going bad and leaking. Replacing the rack and pinion is a PITA.

ps sucks. You build some nice beefy forarms without it. poop on ps.

ya i drive a ford f150 (93) and driving without powersteering (neutral with the motor shut off) is REALLY hard, but not impossible, however in something light, once your moving its not really much of a problem at all unless your gal wants to drive it

I don't have power steering, and pretty much every car that I drive with P/S feels overboosted and numb to me.

I'm strong enough that I don't notice that turning the wheel at low speeds is tough at all.

no ps with a manual rack is ok, but non ps with a ps rack sucks.

i plan on removing my power steering soon cause its ugly and stuff, lol. Its hard to make a bay clean with **** running all over the place. I plan on getting the stealthmode kit that will allow me to keep my power steering rack lubricated and not bind up or whatever, has anyone used this kit before?

ohh and ricey it doesn't matter how tall or how much you weigh, if you know what i mean

boysnightout

you'll get used to not having power steering.

like move while your turning the wheel.. its a little easier =P

i have no ps in my car and have no complaints about it. when i bought the car it was a little interesting to get used to but other than that, i could car less if my car had ps or not
