i am pulling my motor, and when i put it back in i am thinking of just leaving the PS and A/c off....or just one or the other. as of today i am leaning towards retaining the PS and getting rid of the A/C.....

i keep going back and forth....i guess i just want someone to talk me out of or into it.....

ive had the PS and a/c belt removed from the car for a while b/c there is a pesky leak somewhere in the PS system and the a/c isnt charged up b/c i never use it really.....

sometimes it gets hot, and ladies bitch, and i sweat a lot if im not on the highway, but....i dunno....

i kinda like the no power steering, but i wish there was a happy medium between having it and not having it. around town and autoX it would be beneficial, but at speed, i like it not there...

ideas??

 

I got rid of both PS and AC about 2 months ago. Never looked back. Of course, summer's here in Okinawa and it's getting HOT. But it makes changing the engine such a snap. My power steering I miss a little bit when I'm backing up. Other than that, I like not having it.

 

Im sure you can find a different rack that is more smooth that will fix just fine

 

Agreed, but I'm having quite a time trying to find a manual rack. I'm not too concerned with price, but it's finding one that I'm having the trouble with.

 

I could get it...USED... but im not dealing used parts yet

 

What all is required in removing these items? I know rob's site probably has info but I don't have the address here on my home computer....could someone help me out. Thanks.

 

ditch them both, i love it. Wish it came that way from the factory.

 

I want to remove my ac but I don't know how hot it'll get in the summer time.

 

Ditch the (bitch) power steering. Better control on tracks, roads...
Keep the A/C & the ladies happy, not a big deal on tracks. Ditch it if you are going to use for race only.

 

I am keepin both.

 

Hey if the ladies aint happy with no A/C and my diggle in their hand, then she needs to GO just like the A/C did. hahahaha

 

Take the girls out at night...

 

I have an 87 TII and a 93... both of them are no P/S and no A/C. Love it. It does get hot in the summer in a traffic jam though!

im thinking about wiring up a little fan....or something that can blow me some cool air when i want it, but come out easy if i want it to as well...

 

i thought if you removed one, you had to remove the other because of how they are attached to the car.

 

Nope. You just need to get a different belt.

 

i STILL have no motor in the car 3 months later....dont ask

i have removed the a/c, but plan on keeping the power steering

-Nic

 

removed my engine yesterday for a rebuild. i plan to put both PS and AC back in.

 

Hey nic... If you ever get done w/ school and decide to come back to tx... I'd keep'em... My rack is fucked and I'm waiting to install my new one untill I get the time... I miss both, Even though its getting cold. I spent so much damn time fixing the a/c I'd run it summer and winter. lol
Later,
Ryker

 

damn....bringin out an OLD thread

i ended up deciding on taking out a/c and keeping PS, but havent put the PS back on

i did a track event at MSR without PS and it was fine...

 

Dont you need to get a return line loop for the rack so it doesn't hydro lock? I though they were only a hundred bucks. I dont think that you can just yank the P/S with out doing that. Someone add to this if I an on the right track. This is something that I have been thinking about also since my motor is out right now.

 

When I yanked my engine out 4 months ago, the p/s took more time than the engine(removal). I was talking about not putting it back in and he mention something similar to what your talking about(JOES95RX7). Does anybody have any info about this?

 

anyone else know about the return loop?

 

yeah, you need it... I got mine used for 40 bucks...
