whatever dude wit your learn to seach. every link i saw was full of dead pics. stop being a dick

 

Stop being lazy. Scroll down a little. This thread might have a dead picture in the OP, but there are 4 fully functioning pictures on the first page, a total of 5 in the entire thread, and two links to two more threads with more working pictures. Those threads also have links to more threads with working pictures. It even has bolt sizes for the hardware you'll need to loop.

We deal with ignorant all the time. It's ok - not everyone knows everything about their car. Around here, ignorance can be a valid excuse. Laziness is not.

 

great attitude when someone actually helps you. he could've told you to search and not given you any links. you'll get far on here.

 

just saw the links further down. this was the best i found. https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/steering-power-manual-conversion-2461681/

just looking for good evidence on sealing off the system or having a breather. peoples word isnt always good

 

I would personally put a breather in it. It isn't a closed system from the factory, and it should be kept that way. Also, a breather makes future maintenance easier.

 

you were being lazy, its not hard to find info about this.
you really shouldnt take out PS, its awesome!

 

remove the belt for a few days...then decide, lol.

For a few hp...id keep it

 

Drive here and i'll switch them so i have PS and you have a manual rack.

 

exactly

 

i personally like not having PS.

 

sucks when you have blisters on your palms or you throw a shoulder but I don't mind it. have a breather system.

My first civic didn't have PS, and it wasn't bad. With my recent swap I looped my power steering and have "no PS" and it's not even remotely the same. I strongly advise you to change the rack out for a manual one. I left my PS rack in because I'm going to be on the hunt for an electric PS pump from an MR2 or EP3 to add power steering back without the parasitic drag.

PS is a god send. Especially for racing, it's a lot easier to regain control of your car with a pump assisting the steering.

 

I looked up the rack and found oem rebuilt manual one for $195 which i might just get to avoid any possible issues. I just dont wanna put it in lol

 

check on the MR2 forums you should be able to find one. Ill ask my buddy because he has a MR2 maybe he has a pump for sale.
