i got an s13 with stock ka welded diff coilovers and no power steering ive had the car like that since i bought it, and ive been drifting like that ever since. ppl think im crazy lol but it works the only thing is just on the transitions its a little annoying i still get em but after a session im absolutely drenched in sweat lmao!!

but idk i wanna see what other ppls opinions are, i wanna see if anyone else out there is in the same situation as me cuz idk if i should buy it or just continue like this cuz soon im gonna plan on going to englishtown, idk how im gonna handle it w/o p/s....

Drift your car instead of going to the gym.

Win win.

PurePontiacKid 07-11-2012 09:10 PM

I've only really ever drifted with manual steering.

I fucking love it.

But my car is old so who the fuck knows.

with unmodded knuckles, you can drift fine without powersteering and its not too bad.......with modded knuckles, you need power steering, end of story....

I've got modded knuckles, too. The only time I noticed any increased steering effort was parking/parallel parking.

I know a few rx7 guys who drift with no power steering, and do it well. It's just a personal preference with or w/o power steering.

It's worth noting that there are Manual Steering Racks for FC's.

A car with the PS removed != a car with Manual Steering.

you're a moron

a car with PS removed (totally, including draining the rack) = manual steering

2 of my 3 cars are manual steering, drained rack. i dont even cap the holes, leave them open. been driving like this for over a decade.

Don't forget your spinach!!!

Honestly in my opinion its not as hard to steer with no p/s as people are making it seem. Ive not has ps on my s13 for awhile... and not had that hard of a time ... especially when going over 15 mph..... simple..im not buff at all and i have no struggle or muscle weakness after driving.

96Turbo 07-13-2012 11:34 AM

daily driving without ps is one thing (not that bad, although parking & low speed turning sucks)

60 mph lock to lock transitions while drifting is another thing entirely. the wheel gets pretty violent and you gotta be on your game.

i don't always drift. but when i do....i prefer power steering

OutlawLui 07-13-2012 11:37 AM

Fuck not having power steering, it sucks.

My apologies, you are correct.

I was trying to imply that most people don't do a complete PS delete, they just loop the lines and shit (or better yet, I've seen people with leaky lines just take the belt off). A full PS delete is the same as a manual rack, but I haven't seen too many people go through the proper de-powering procedures.

I guess I shouldn't always assume that I'm talking to the standard Zilvia idiot.

boo fucking hoo

come on people, grow some nuts... hang them out a bit. men nowadays, carry man-purses with tampons in them

David48 07-14-2012 03:29 PM

That's stupid. It's like saying don't get coilovers because people used to slide on worse suspension. If you can get it, and it makes things easier on you then why not? Why make shit harder than it has to be?

Matej 07-14-2012 09:05 PM

Why is there not a manual steering rack for the S-chassis yet?
There are so many other silly niche parts no one buys.

Because you can just open a power rack and depower it to be just like a manual rack all on your own.
