very nice gain!!!!!!

[Bloodlust]

well...everyone is entitled to there own opinions, i guess it could be me though, i am a little built, have been weightlifting since i was 11 (my father was a weightlifter)

Yeah I play the piano like a veteran, (My dad was a piano mover )

I dont know, I just figure if ur looking to lose 20 pounds by removing power streering just to gain a little speed, ill tell you a couple other ways to lose 20 pounds without even having to take it out and drive ur car much more comfortably:

1.) Go on the Hollywood diet. Dont eat for a weekend and run on the threadmill.
2.) Take an enormous shit.
3.) If you happen to do both of these in the same weekend you have lost roughly 40 pounds.

Please excuse my earlier comments, Im feeling a little sarcastic today.

lol

I'm gonna do it, because I don't have the money to beef up my car

lol i can tell from your coffe can hood scoop. hehe. nahh jk i admire the dedication and good luck with your project car. heeh.

[cvergi01]

lol, I hate you

[88accordhb]

lol, I hate you

nooo! man don't hate me, hate leads to anger, anger leads to war, war leads to deathh! or something yoda would say.

I'm sorry man, it was just a moment that I was feeling venerable and that coffee can bit really hit home

hhahahhaha....lol YOU SUCK!!!hehe

the power steering pump only weights like 5 lbs...... :d

[speedpenguin]

whatever.
i'm not taking out the powrsteering for weight loss, i'm taking it out for the better control.

well IMO the no pwr steering stuff is in the reverse order. Removing the pwr steering is for girls who cant spend extra cash to beef up their car. THey wanna remove every single stuff in the engine bay, let alone connected to their engine and say its quicker. Soon ill be packing more power than i ever thought off, and hell if i wanted to, i can keep my ac and my pwr steering and still pull easy 13s. But my AC is dead anyway so fuck that, and with PS, well im keepin it, cause the so called 'power loss' from it, is gonna be minute to what the grand total would be

you only lose power when the AC isn't on. you don't lose the power if your AC doesn't work... in fact if it doesn't work, you might as well take it out unless you're going to fix it.

Amen to that brother. After a near death experience from a quadruple lane change at 100mph I ripped out the belt immediately. The pump itself weighs 9 pounds, the lines maybe 2 or 3 lbs and the damn bracket is at least 10 pounds of cast Iron.

I have not had power steering in nearly 3 years without a single problem. The fluid is pressurized to help turn the rack. The actual gearing on the rack is internally lubricated (verified by a Honda of America employee).

I took the AC out because the condinser, lines and compressor were all shot to hell.

[88accordhb]

you almost got an acident at 100mph? lol wow some dangerous shit!

[k-roy]

The p/s is overkill in my opinion. I managed to destroy my passenger side mirror because I overshot the line in the slow lane by 3 feet and hit a concrete divider.

our power steering is pwr assit as u know. Which means its smoother at low speed and reduces the assist as the speed increases. So if u were gonna crash at high speed, then its your misjudgement. I dont think i would ever will trash my pwr steering, let alone to say i never will. Its something i dont mind having at all. But hey, if u really want no power steering, get a non-power steering rack, its cause the gearing is different on those compared to the power-steering rack ones. SO its better.

[oneslammedlxi]

hell, im used to the 4th gen civic forum on a/f and the 240sxforums.com where everyone is like a big happy family, you guys feud entirely way too much..
if you dont like it, its alot easyer to not post.....

[oneslammedlxi]

oh, and before someone says "shutup newb" keep in mind, that i have prolly been around ALOT longer than you, i was posting on the ezboard days as oneslammedlx (i was the one with the black primered lowered lx sedan w/ shaved doors, moulding, and middle taillight section), and from then...the only person i remember from the old board that still posts is carotman

so if anyone has right to "flame the newb" it would be carotman himself

good for you man! and you said if you don't like it then don't post, then wat the f' is the whole point of the forum? we're here to share our ideas. and if you can't handle what others say because it opposses your beliefs...well then i don't know wat to tell you, if you don't like what i say, then don't listen, but you can't stop people from posting dude.

His entire rant made no sense why did he make it at all?

[oneslammedlxi]

i just wanted to let people know that you get a little more power from doing the things i posted than most would expect by doing so...sorry for being retarded about it, i was just flamed on another forum for asking if nitto 555's were very good, and they replyed "why dont you buy them and see, and quit waisting our time"

i asked so i wouldnt be wasting my money if they are shitty tires...

anyway, yea....i'll shut up now

[cvergi01]

The thread is a good idea ( I am now considering trying it since I need to replace the belt anyway.) I just didn't understand you last 2 posts. They seem to have come from no place

[oneslammedlxi]

lol, i was just being a baby, alot of boards flame the newbies, and i figured i was going to get it here for some reason.....i dunno, this 3geez, 4th gen civic section of automotive forums, and 240sxforums.com are the only places i can stand to be, the guys at preludepower.com seem alright sofar (at least in the 2nd gen section) but oh man....the guys at hondatech at a whole bunch of dirty assholes....i mean...why would you flame a new person asking a legit question....?

anyway, im just rambling on again, so im gonna go outside and start ripping the engine out of my 'cord

[oneslammedlxi]

oh....and anyone HERE know if nitto 555's are worth there price?

[cvergi01]

Lmfao

[dXsquared]
