I will soon be trading my car for a del sol si. I like most of the stuff it has, but after driving my cx for almost 5 years, I've grown to not like PS. I was wondering IF I do go through with the trade what would need to be done to fully remove all that excess BS. IMO it just adds weight, and takes away a couple of WHP.

WHP lool, no man not really

but search for looped power steering... it will answer your question

You remove everything but just re-loop, where the PS reservoir was.. so the PS stays lubed up...

hope this helps

 

Its not hard to take off. It isn't easy to do it right, though. Search for eliminating/deleting/recirculating power steering, theres a few topics on it. They'll show you how to recirculate your power steering.

The PS racks have a better steering ratio than the manual racks. I drove a cx for 3 yrs, and even with 205's on a recirculated rack, its fine. Recirculating really just amounts to connecting the 3 line together, and adding a breather.

check my edit y0!

 

never heard of "recirculating" it but I'll check out those links. thanks.

 

you will deffinetly want to go with a kit for removing it. just relooping it is way hard to turn the wheel i found out when i was waiting for my kit to show up. it is well worth the money spent.

 

where can I get a kit?

 

IM "padawan". he is a member on here and is were i got my kit from. was very good, came with instruction. think i paid $75 shipped. vouch for him deffinetly
