I'm removing my power steering and i know how to get the pump and all that crap off... but what do i do with all the lines?

 

take them off the rack and plug the rack

 

why just asking

 

why do it?, i have heard alot of people say that it makes the steering alot stiffer and feels alot better....

 

i personaly like cars without powersteering. I'm used to not having it and i feel like i have more control over the car. I got the pump off but dont know what to do with the lines..

 

dont you have to get a manual steering rack aswel. because with a power steering rack and no power steering it can b weird.

 

Trying to manually push around a power rack is pretty difficult. You'd be better off doing a vented setup, using parts like the kit that Padawan used to offer. That way any pressure built up inside the rack can escape.

You can use a Civic manual rack, but it has a slower ratio and more turns lock-to-lock, which requires much more input from you to get the car to turn the same amount.

 

You remove the line that goes from the pump to the rack but there are lines you loop at the rack. There is a thread somewhere on how to do it but I'm on my phone so can't post the link.

You loop the lines to keep fluid in the rack though since it also lubricates the rack.

Driving with no powersteering on our cars seems pretty easy to me though. I drove my friends civic EM1 and didn't notice it was gone.

 

ya true once you get the rolling its hardly noticeable

 

For daily driving I think its okay to remove the PS. But if you're going to autocross or road race im not sure if it'll be a good idea. This past week I attended my first track event (as a ride along passenger) in my friends s2k and sti. There is quite a bit of steering involved going around corners and im not to sure if ill feel confident taking my car out there without PS. Just something for you to consider.
