it be a bitch but ship it to canada and drive down. pretty sure thats how the two I've seen in SoCal were done. On your way down get it registered in Wa cuz you'll have trouble even doing it illegally in Ca. I've never done it personally just relaying what I heard.

wait.. a dumb ass Ethiopian King? What?

Negus (Ge'ez ንጉሥ, nigūś, Amharic nigūs; cf. Tigrinya ነጋሽ negāš) is a title in Ge'ez, Tigrinya, Tigre and Amharic, used for a king and at times also a vassal ruler in pre-1974 Ethiopia and pre-1890 Eritrea.

My name is Shabaka which is the name of an Egyptian king. Thank god my dad didn't call me Negus instead lolz

[!Zar!]

Yup, your name is strictly for the negus.

Im pretty sure you guys are just capping your PS lines.

You need to loop the lines, route them to a breather.

Do not plug the lines, do not just Loop the lines.

Use the largest hoses, and the shortest path to either a T- then to a breather, or my favorite;

A box with 2 AN fittings on the bottom, and 2 breathers on top. All your doing is displacing fluid without PS, so it needs to move freely. Thats a correct P/S delete. Capping or looping the lines will just cause thigns to leak.

And doesnt your P/S pulley act as a tensioner to the water pump belt?

I looped it on my Hachi never had a problem. I used a long line also

They are seperate belts so each one has its own tensioner

Almost busted my pinky when I tried drifting without power steering. I bought all the shit to fix it, but I'm always busy.

I have a NRG deep dish wheel that has all those holes in it, and my pinky got caught in a hole and the steering wheel like...took control of itself and whip the shit out of my pinky...luckily i caught it with my manly force.

How long does it usually take to take out the SOHC stuff and put in the DOHC power steering?

[MELLO*SOS]

Now that you've removed the belt and drained whatever fluid was left, it's a matter of time before you cause further damage to your pump and/or rack. Fix yo shit before you cause yourself more problems down the road!

I drifted with and without. Its the same... well considering when I drifted without I was used to dd without, and when I drifted with, It was after dd for a while with. When I first drove my s13 with after driving without, It was a little weird, and one time my belt broke on my s13 with, and that was hard, but looking back at it, both were no prob at the time. I hope that made sense, Im a little drunk.

That shit hurts!!! But drifting without powersteering isn't too bad. I like it just for me doing controlled donuts is harder than doing a course or big turns
