i just installed a 14:1 ratio rack in the neon i built, its a power rack with “firm feel” but im not hooking up the lines, i just want the quicker turns, ive driven a 16:1 without p/s and it was fine, anyone else have any input?

btw, the engine bay is empty, i can always reinstall it easily

I think my RT had the 14:1 rack. I took out the PS. It wasn’t bad.

My CRX does not have power steering. When the cars rolling its no difference to me.

The car does weigh 1900lbs though.

You shouldn’t be turning the wheels from a dead stop anyways without powersteering…  
you have to roll and then turn as quickly as you can

my bracket kind of just fell off my block, that was fun. i didn’t know it was gone until i was taking a turn at 50

the bracket for the p/s pump on my 944 broke and I just ziptied the pump up and never got around to fixing it but after driving it without the p/s I like the feel better.

I’m still trying to figure out how an angular input can correspond to a linear distance in a unitless ratio…

Unless it refers to steering angle vs wheel input angle, but that’s stupid, because it’s also an effect of suspension geometry.
