Converting Power steering to manual for a little over 20 bucks

Picked up a GSR Rack from a local Junk yard and modded the rack to a manual and it cost me a little over 20 dollars in parts from NAPA.
1= Brass T fitting $3.95
8= Hose clamps $6.32
4ft.= Trans Oil Hose 3/8 $10.76
Picked up a Clutch reservoir at a junk yard $Free

Looped the main rack In/Out lines. About 10 inch piece (this is necessary you do not want it to short, it will kink and prevent flow.)



In the center of the rack there is a 1/4 in metal line that runs from one side of the rack to the other, this is were you will be adding the T fitting. Before you cut be sure that you try to be centered on this metal line, I cut a 4 to 5 inch section out of this line, then attached the T fitting with two pieces of the Trans Oil Hose about 3 in pieces each side of T fitting. Before securing this fitting, be sure to align it a little more towards the steering column in order to clear the rear tranny mount and bracket. I guess for some of those out there don't forget to use your Hose clamps to secure the hoses.



Then to finish it up Add the remaining hose to the third post on the T fitting. You will want to direct the T fitting slightly angled toward the front of your car, this is to clear the rear engine brace and mount again. Attach your clutch reservoir and and find yourself a good place to mount. I found that on my 93 Civic hatch the fuel filter had a bracket that was not used and with some slight bending to accommodate the angle of the clutch reservoir bracket seemed to be a perfect place for my breather reservoir.



It is actually a very easy mod, in fact removing all the power steering shit is the hard part.

Personally I prefer Heavy feel, it can be a little difficult at stop, but definitely good while rolling.

I was thinking of doing that but kinda of hesitant because I know when I'm not rolling its going to be hard like crazy to park or turn so still kind of up in the air for me but I like the way you put the Tip out there though kudo's to you.

No power steering is really not that bad, as long as you don't have like arm trouble or anything (anything to make you weak in either arm) Not being mean, being honest, friends RX-7 has no power steering and you get a work out when your not moving, but it's really not that bad, good write up

Hmmmm, not sure why people would want no PS. But good writeup nonetheless.
