i was just wondering if anyone else out there is driftin with out power steering. im driftin with out ps right now because my pump went out. hasnt seem that hard with out ,but i dont see the reason to get it back if there is no reason to do so.

 

my P/S has been acting i'm i've been wanting to mod it recently and ditch the pump, i tried to buy a reman'd manual rack but couldn't find one. did you remove the bushings and loop the lines or what??? or are you just driving on a dead pump?

 

right now im with a dead pump im in the process of removing the whole thing rack lines etc... its a little more diffcult to steer while drifting ,but im getting a hang of it.

 

Once in a while I like to throw the TII around for fun. It has a manual steering rack. The only difference I experienced is you have to work harder to counter steer. But after a while you will get used to it.

And it builds arm muscles.

 

**** yeah it does, my arms are hard as a rock! I DON'T WORK OUT!

 

where did you get the manual rack from?

 

came stock on my 87 TII

 

Not all RX-7's came with power steering :]

 

well i guess im going to keep buildin my arms up.

 

I own 3 of these cars and NONE of them came with power steering...

Drove my friend's car w/ PS one time and it felt... interesting.

 

whats power steering? LOL

 

Man, I can't imagine drifting w/o power steering! It's just soooo much easier!!

 

idgaf!!

 

now that's some talented power steering!!

 

+1

 

i have no ps too

 

well i guess im not the only person drifting without ps

 

well it looks like im going to build up my arms..until i can get this pump off.

 

Good idea, after a while it feels just like power steering since you get so use to it.

 

NO P/S Here!!! I find it really easy as far as countersteer goes, just let go and grab the wheel give her a shake and hope for the best haha, that better make a little bit of sense.....

 

I like it a lot better since I took my PS out yrs ago.

 

Rotary weapon, man are you CAL? I'll PWN YOU

 

i throw it sideways with out powersteering. i originally took that and the A/C out as part of a weight reduction procedure. but i later found it its alot better anyway. i feel like i have a better relationship with the road. and i find countersteering easy. took a lil getting used to like everyone says. and i been loving my arms since

i plugged mine off. i cut the ends of the hose that fit, cut the just short enough so they dont stick out, clamped the ends shut, and had a friend go over them amd weld em shut to make sure. you best bet is this:

when i do my tii swap in april, im going to do that. the set up i did has lasted since august, so i cant complain, but i dont think it should be to trusted.

 

IMO power steering feels sloppy after drifting on a dry p/s rack for so long. When I switched from the 86 to the fc it was alot tougher to turn while parking though... I mean ALOT. As far as drifting goes it's not that much harder. p/s just helps move the wheel faster but if you are used to not having it you will do just fine.

I will be reinstalling p/s though. Just waiting on other things to be done first.

 

dude ill pwn you all day long, i used to be in cal-i like a year ago haha :P
