I finally got around to installing manual steering on my del sol. it drives so much better. it was a pretty straight forward swap. Just had to remove the exhaust and rear motor mount to get it out of the car. i can get more detailed if any is interested.

 

What kind of steering rack did you use?

 

i used a 97 del sol s that came with a manual rack. They several of the dx cars that came with the manual rack.

 

I was planning on replacing my manual DX rack with one from a GSR and make it a semi power/manual steering rack like the guys from RealTime racing did with the racing Type-R's... has a better lock to lock ratio than a DX rack...

 

Yep, that's what I'm gonna look into at some point too....get the quicker ratio and the manual rack I already installed.

is any of you guys interested in selling the manual rack from your DXs?

thanx

 

can you tell more on the real time type r's and what they did? i assume your talking about looping the ps system back around so it feeds itself but doesnt run off the pully. but i would like to know more about why and how much and wether or not it was a good thing on those real time's.

 

it was a good thing they have had winning seasons for 5+ years now and have great steering response. they are even using the same technique as always on the new rsx steering systems. over in the type r forum they just had someone bring back the post about conversions for anyone who is interested.
