electric power steering

[pdiggitydogg]

Does anyone know of a non-variable electric ps pump?
I was just toying around with the idea of using one of those instead of a breather setup/manual-ized rack on the civic.

I believe the mr2 had e- ps, but I am not sure if it was variable or assist, or anything... (wanst nsx variable assist?)

(no, I probably will never do this...but its a fun idea)

[IALuder]

yea the nsx was. but why would you want it?

[pdiggitydogg]

oh, just toying with new ideas.
Id imagine its a good way to remove the parasitic pump yet retain p/s

hmm, from what i heard most of the e-pump setups don't really provide a realistic feel thru the steering wheel.

[pdiggitydogg]

if you ask me, the current setup doesnt either

yeah, i've driven quite a few of them and i can agree, but with the e-pump think more like cavalier feel
