Quicker steering for EJ???
How can I get it so I turn the steering wheel less revolutions to go from full right to full left...or even center to full turn for that matter? I know since our civics aren't true sports cars...they lack what I wanna call sport steering. Do I have to change the whole rack and pinion? Any one else want something like this? I'm kinda tired of havin to turn my steering wheel like I'm driving a big *** truck or something. I guess I was spoiled with my stealth.

I put a 94 integra rack and pinion in my 92cx with the loop/vent system from H-T member padawan. It is very responsive, somewhere around 2.5-3 turns lock to lock i think. But it also made my steering a little more difficult. Oh well, it builds muscle.

Took it off to free up some power. For some reason my steering is harder than hell to turn. I tried putting softer tires and it was still hella hard to turn. All my friends have integs with no PS, and I can turn their wheels with ease...so I know it's not me being weak. I've had the PS off for about 2 months now, so I should have gottin used to it by now. This is part of why I want quicker steering...so I don't have to work forever turning.
An electric PS pump would be pimp...would go nicely with an electric water pump.

Re: Quicker steering for EJ??? (H23 EG Hybrid)
There was someone on here from a major company (might've been Quaife?) that was going to develop a kit to reduce lock-to-lock for Civics to something like 2 turns lock-to-lock ... around that number. It fell through, though. 
I've always wanted to reduce the lock-to-lock, also.
