I have been thinking about doing the same thing, but everyone tells me its gonna be too heavy.

I don't have it in my car. It's not that bad. Maybe I'll let you drive it sometime.

^But your FWD, not AWD and Welded Diff.

I have a manual rack in my car. The only reason i did it was to get shit out of the engine bay.

To be honest i like the ratio of the power rack better and its not that hard to drive w/o the pump hooked up.

Its harder to turn when your not moving, but if you are rolling even a little its a lot easier, and you get used to it in a day or two. Your tires are not that wide and your car is light, both help.

JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW! I currently have power steering removed on my car, this isn't my first DSM, and this isn't my first DSM I've removed power steering. I just wanted to know where I can get a new manual rack, not if it's better or what not. I just hate the effort required to like parallel park and move around at speeds less than 5 mph. I also currently drive a Civic that has a manual rack, and it's awesome. No effort, and no power steering!

I checked O'Reilys online, checked Napa online, checked Ebay, nothing. I look under Plymoth Laser 1.8L Base Model.

I was directing it to Big Brown, try the dealer or junk yards.

It's a workout in parking lots. If you hesitated for that parking spot, your compact car then feels like a tractor.

I may be interested in buying a new rack as well. If you find one, PM me the info.

Id search for a company that would make a "quick-steer" manual rack. My buddy bought one for his old mustang, very sweet. Only the smallest turn of the wheel and the wheels turned quite a bit. I think the company was called flaming rivers? lol.

I've never driven a dsm with ps. I bought mine from the last owner with the ps rack lines pinched off and not a sign of ps.

I might be interested in a new rack as well. Steering rack.

I can get a brand new rack from made by "Maval" from World Pac. World Pac is a auto parts distributor that sells OEM parts from the companys that make them for the OEMs. So they are identical to Satan parts, some even come with the proper names and lables instead of the "generic." Says Mitsu list price is over $1,000 and my price is $220. Has a MB part number also.

I'd cop it for $220. I got a manual rack in my new shell and it feels totally different than my last car.

Oh and I also had an EJ w/o PS and I think it's just the way civics are designed that makes them easy as hell to turn.
