    I hate the steering....

    After driving a sports car for so long, I hate the steering of my accord.

    I am thinking of removing powersteering to put some weight into it, what do you all think?

    yay or nay?

    I don't think that getting rid of your power steering is going to make it any more responsive. I believe that it will actually make it less responsive. The only way to get the sport feel out of an Accord is to replace the stock touring suspension with a complete sport suspension. Struts, springs/coilovers, 22mm swaybars and Bushings.

      No power steering is a pain when doing slow turns. I'm used to it so I don't mind.

          i used to have a lowrider b2200 with no powersteering and i didn't like it at all... it was more of a hassel for me than anything.

          ....and yes it does make it less responsive.

            Power steering is for pussies. I have my pump installed with no belt for maximum resistance. It's good for your arms.

              Indeed. My arms started to shape up when I had my power steering off.

                What are you people talking about power steering is less responsive. You feel every bit of the road when you don't have power steering. Its power steering that stabilzes the steering so it feels neutrul.

                As for an accord not being a sports car. Tell that to your insurance.

                An accord EX is classified as a sports sedan. ahahahhaha.

                        Do you think or KNOW?

                        Power steering takes away feel from the road.

                        Its not for everyone, but if you dont want it ditch it. Its not that hard, and you get used to it, and eventually youll prefer it. When i drove another car, i was always like wtf is this, why cant i feel the road in my hands?

                          maybe i can get the powersteering system from a lude and it will be more weighty? idk


                          i think im going to ditch it. PS is for pussies

                            I tried running with the PS belt removed. The car is steerable but I'd hate to drive it in city driving like that as it's just too heavy (and I am reasonably strong).

                            Increasing caster angle creates a fairly substantial increase in steering feel and steering response. Stock caster is 2° to 4° (supposedly), my car initially had 1.7°, now has close to 5° (haven't actually measured it since I increased it, only estimated from suspension schematic). Steering is slightly heavier, significantly more responsive, better front grip (less understeer), and has better road feel.

                            Caster can be increased by shortening the radius rods, but you need to be careful, there is a limit. This is because shortening the RR pulls the lower control arm forward and creates an angularity at the inner control arm bush, and too much angularity will stress the bush and shorten it's life (possibly).

                            Increaseing caster in this way pulls the wheel forward in the wheel arch, making the forward gap smaller than the rearward gap, which looks slightly strange, but doesn't worry me in the least since I know it looks that way for a good reason...
