Browner Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Has anyone removed the power steering in their starlet? I was thinking of getting a non power steering rack and removing the power steering altogether. I was in a friends GT which was running well over 300bhp and it seemed to hold a better line on boost with the power steering removed. My own Glanza is running 383bhp but when I drive it hard on boost the torque steer can be quite bad at times.Then again, these are front wheel drive cars with huge power running through where the steering is so maybe it's just part and parcel of a high powered starlet.Any opinions on this?Browner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I think it more down to your sheer power mate I think with or without power steering u are going to get the same effect and the torque steer just keeps u on your toes lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) The steering rack wont make a difference as thats not where the torque force is originating from, if you have got an helical diff such as a quaiffe i find that this drastically reduced torque steer while on throttle.Have you got an LSD diff?
