HELP no power stering?
 

well i tried launching my car tonight and lost power stering , only the belt came off, but i have never taken off or put a belt on my eclips before"420a gs" so is it pretty hard to put the belt back on? any tips would be great!

thanks alot Blesi660r

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

Loosen the adjustment and put the belt back on. Tighten it back up and you are good to go.

If you havent already, buy at a minimum a Chiltons manual for your car. It will really help you with any repairs you need to do now or in the future. The factory service manual is the best option but it costs more.

thanks i will give it a try!

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

Just take it all out. In a day or two you will be glad you did!

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

i dunno how true that is.. in a daily driver i would almost think p/s is a must, the adjustment on those are easy anyways. GL

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

Do as was already mentioned. It's not hard to figure out and you just need simple tools.
Are you being serious? I surely don't ever expect to have a daily driven car without power steering.

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

My DD talon had no PS and since then I cant STAND having it. Maybe thats just because all my cars are race cars...

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

I've daily drove my Gvr4 for years w/o power steering. It makes working on shit soooo much easier!

The only time it sucks is when i have to parallel park, but thats like once a week.

I like to think of myself as getting a workout everytime i drive!

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

im sorry but that is rediculous...probably the only time i would take out power steering would be to put a quick steer rack in... but not just to take the power steering out, not worth it.

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

It handled soo much better in my opinion. I've driven 1g's with it and without it and I like the way it felt without it better. It just seemed to cooperate better.

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

it's not going to make it handle any better or worse, its all in the feeling of the wheel since its going to be alot harder to turn.

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

Not really. It took me like... half a day to get used to it. Anyways, to ME, I personally felt like I had more control over it BECAUSE it didn't turn so easy. For example, I could bump it on accident and KNOW I wasn't going to go flying into the other side of traffic.

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

but do you really think that your going to "bump" yourself into on coming traffic? and at any rate it isn't related to the topic at hand. p/s or no p/s personal opinion.

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

Matt... this is ME we are talking about. ANYTHING is possible haha.

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

hah! this is true... hey you wouldnt have liked dsm's if you were not to have gotten a ride in mine! WooT for me!

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

True that!! :D

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

Do you ever use the damn shift key?
It depends on how you look at it and how technical you want to get. If you have the amplification of steering wheel torque provided by your manual rack and pinion equal to the theoretical amplification provided by your power steering system, your manual system will be more responsive because of the energy loses in the power system due to the use of fluid power.

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

I've driven both very aggresively in the twisties and I'd never even considering going w/o the power steering. Manual steering made transitioning from one direction to the other MUCH more difficult.

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

all fixed! it went out at night so i really didt get a good look at it, i just zip tied it to a hose so i wouldent lose it on the way home! but i do have to say that it was not to bad driving with out it i accually considerd leaving it off! but i personaly think that it would be crazy to drive with out it.

when i do the rebuild on my car it is for-sure going along with the A/C! but i will have another daily driver by then!

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

Then you are a pansy because I have done the same and I prefer it without

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

IMO! When I drove my civic without p/s I liked it a lot since I could feel more feedback from the road and my arms was stronger back then due to daily driving without p/s than now with my gsx with p/s. First time I test drove my gsx I was like damn so easy turn and whip out and not much feedback felt from the road.

A few months back when the new owner of my turbo civic came back for questions since he's a car noob. I drove it around the block and one thing came right to my mind. "I arms are WEAK as hell now"
Parallel parking felt so easy back then but now I just feel bad for myself for being so weak and p/s dependent. :(
I'll soon get rid of p/s :D

Tauni I know what you're talking about and F to all the pussies :p

If I was a girl looking for man.... first thing I'll ask is "Do you like to drive a car with or without p/s?"

mmmm.... I'm gonna tell my sister to use that one the next time a guy macks on her :D

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

YESSS

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

dang... you replyed before I got done editing my post

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

If you want to impress my sister you better rip out that p/s
fyi, weak men is one of her turn offs

LoL

don't worry I didn't tell her to join dsmstyle yet opss I mean mitsustyle

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

I may be a pansy, but I'd turn a quicker lap time than you would ;) You'd spend more time fighting the car while I'm spending time finding the perfect line.

I'm just not into "mods" that serve no purpose other that the demonstrate how "tough" someone is, not to mention it puts a lot more stress on some of your steering components.

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

Do I look "tough" to you?

Re: HELP no power stering?
 

Nope; I'd love you see you muscle a non P/S DSM around some quick transition tight corners.

Re: HELP no power stering?
