2g Manual Steering Rack

[rst95eclipse]

I'm looking for a 2g manual steering rack. It's been an urban myth and I'd just like to see if it is an option or not, since there is very little information about it and the info that is out there seems sketchy. They might have been equipped in the Base Model's made from 1995 until 1996.5, then discontinued. The Base Model was in production for those listed years and had fewer options than an RS. If not, how much for a 1g manual rack? Thank you Nick.

Funny. I gave all the specs to a junkyard for a possible 2g manual rack and I was informed that they have one. It's probably the 1g. Thanks Nick.

I've never heard of a factory 2G one.

You can just remove all the Power Steering accessories, and loop the lines on the rack, with a reservoir and breather Tee'd into the loop, and it will fell very similar to manual steering, and get rid of pretty much all your power steering components. This is what I'm doing to my Colt. There's a write up on Honda-Tech somewhere with pictures I think.

But the manual racks are geared different to make the turning easier.

Aggressive driving will suffer though.
