i got 97 accord and i was just wnadering that is there anyway i can relocate the break fluit box thing for more cleaner look or any other things i can relocate or get rid of to make it look cleaner?

 

there really isn't anything you can do with the brake fluid reservoir. But you can...

relocate battery
relocated fuse box
remove a/c
remove power steering
remove abs (if you have it)
do a wire tuck (search for more info on this, there is plenty info out there)

not everyone will want to remove everything on that list but you asked so I answered with what a lot of people do to clear things out of the engine bay for that clean look.

 

by removing the power stering you wont have power sterring or just relocating and thanks for teh help !

 

no, you can't really relocate because you would still need the motor to turn the power steering pump. So removing means totally removed from the car. Just remove the pump, reservoir and all the lines, then just leave some fluid in the rack and loop the hose at the rack.

 

would it drive a lot different or just little diff without powerstering

 

Yeah I thought about it too.... The term is ArmStrong Steering....your arms get stronger it's just like having the old 91 Civic manual steering option...it's not too bad once you get used to it.....

 

spoke with the owner of this car...

and he did exactly as I described and he said the lack of power steering isn't bad and that he actually prefers it.

no, it's not that bad.
What makes it hard is a lot of people just remove the belt but leave all the hoses and everything still attached, then when they turn the wheel they have to force all that fluid through the lines and pump which makes it harder. Thats why you remove all that stuff and just leave some fluid in the rack and loop the hose at the rack to keep the fluid in there.

I have a 92 Civic CX with manual steering and it's a little stiff at times at a complete stop but once you get moving just a little it gets easier to turn. And after speaking with the owner of the Accord above, he said it's pretty much the same feel in his Accord with the removed power steering and looped hose.

 

thanks

 

yep, no problem
