I have daily driven my civic and FD without power steering for years. Finally, I put the power steering back on the FD, and it feels so weird. I don't know if I can get used to this. Has anybody else gone through this change?

 

yeah i lost my powersteering for about a week and i hated it. i'm glad to have it back.
it wasn't bad on the highway but making uturns was annoying

 

I have a beater S10 pickup that's my daily driver. It has no P/S, and everytime I get back in my FD, I think "This is so easy to drive." And like NeedFD said, whenever I have to do a U-turn in my truck, I feel like the captain a large yacht- too much turnin!

 

you just need to hit up the gym ryan.

ive been without powersteering for almost two years now and dont miss it at all.

 

you've been checking me out?

I guess I'm too used to p/s

 

There's a day and night difference from P/S to no belt to a looped line to a full manual conversion.

From what you describe did you just loose a belt?

Trust me. I full manual conversion is NOTHING like a looped line. It's a helluva lot easier...far more than just a basic manual conversion.

 

Yeah, there was just no belt. I thought about looping the line, but then again, p/s is nice to have when parallel parking.

No p/s meant that I had a better feel for the road. You can tell when the car is about to understeer around a corner.

 

I've also driven my friend's FD with the LS1 with no powersteering, i hated that too

 

are talking about swapping in a manual rack as a ful manual conversion? or getting the one on the fd rebuilt to full manual? just curious.

 

Converting the stock FD rack to manual. Such as the Maval conversion.
