Well, my D16z6 got pulled today. Tore it apart, and it looks ok. Not sure what my problem was...pistons/rings/ringland look ok.

Well, the B18 install starts tomorrow, so I'll snap some pics for you guys!

yeah, thats a pretty good deal on the ITR susp/brakes. I'd go with it for that price too

As for the rack. You could just bleed your power rack, remove the pump and have manual steering with a better ratio then the manual rack.

White-n-slow: Good idea...hadn't thought of that. So power steering has a better sterring ratio than a manual rack?

Yes, but it is also harder to turn. That aside, a power rack was not designed to work without the power assist, so it can potentially wear out faster. Using the manual rack is the best way to go.

my roommate went without power assist in his integra for over two years of hard driving and never had a reliability problem. Its a little harder to turn, but you really only notice in parking lots.

The non-power ratio (19:1 I think :thinking: ) is WAY to loose. Thats the worst part about these civics. It feels sloppy and disjointed. The Si/EX/Teg ratio (14:1 ) is a DRAMATIC improvement. I would run a power-less power rack any day over my stock one.
