Drift your car instead of going to the gym.

Win win.

Agree......

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.

JFoxx · 07-12-2012, 08:52 AM

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.

Naytag629 · 07-13-2012, 06:37 AM

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.

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.

BoostSlideWayz · 07-13-2012, 11:28 AM

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.

slow40sx · 07-13-2012, 02:29 PM

you should stick to being canadian

25 and all of a sudden you're a pro drift driver?

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?

coreyh · 07-14-2012, 05:06 PM

ive drifted a buddies 510 w/o powersteering and an s14 w/ powersteering...so much better with, i ended up fighting the 510 the whole time.

!Zar! · 07-14-2012, 07:01 PM

You know how much harder it is getting road head in the city without power steering?

SlammedS13Tx · 07-14-2012, 08:49 PM

same here man no power steering ! !

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.
