power steering...

Do you have a manual rack or did it have power steering? If you had power steering and just took the belt off it'll be heavy. If you have a manual rack it's not all that bad. Just only when you take off the belt off the pump.

My old na had a power rack with no power to it. Drifting with it wasnt bad. At first it was kinda hard then something clicked in my head and I changed how I was driving and it got easier while drifting.

I just slid an S13 this past weekend with no ps... I could counter fine but at full lock it was super hard to bring it back.

Lets just say my entire upper body was soar monday

I do it all the time it's easy, and I have a t2 power rack converted to manual. Been doing it for years that way. And you can't compare it to a 240. 240's are hard as shit to turn with no PS it's a lot easier in an FC.

Don't modded angle s13's have steering binding issues? That would explain the steering lock.

i like the feeling of no ps it has just enough resistance in the streering to me it feeling comfortble... i think the ps is too easy to turn... my pump was bad when i bought the car it made all the easyier to remove it

DRFT_HRD 09-03-09 02:22 AM

I drift with no PS on a PS rack.

I must say, I love it, I dont think I could go back.

bueno is good in spanish

depends on the car... -but in general I like PS

I blew a line at the last event and made a few passes without PS in my FC. It sucked.

Ranzo 09-03-09 02:28 PM

I use a depowered PS rack on my car. It helps to take it apart and depower it. I really cant complain about it for most drifting. If you do any gymkhana or low speed tight course stuff it can get to be a bit much you will have to drive like it is a larger car to compensate for the inability to turn the wheel as fast.

Power steering is obviously better. I would not depower a working rack. My car had problems and it was the cheapest fix at the time and it made the engine room much cleaner.

fc3s gary 09-04-09 02:35 PM

yea i have a manual rack and love it

vosko 09-04-09 06:08 PM

I have a manual rack I love it but I'm thinking of geting power steering one day so I can have that quicker response.

Asterisk 09-05-09 03:34 PM

Hey a drift, I can get a full manual rack right now for real cheap, do you think I should swap it out?

I talked to Justin Pawlak (Forumula D pro driver) and he said that it's a good idea to keep the P/S. Besides, all the people that have driven my car give me compliments on how nice my p/s feels in my car. Mazda did a good job with the design!

RE Drifter 09-07-09 12:09 AM

Justin is a cool dude, go with whatever he said, he won't lead you the wrong way.
