Just bought another car for my b-series swap, and it has to be without powersteering anyway, because there's not enough room in the engine bay following the swap. 88 integra
But for now, the previous owner removed the powersteering belt because there was a power steering fluid leak (in looking at the leak, i think its because he filled it something that wasn't p/s fluid... looks more like brake fluid) Anyway.
So rather than try and solve the leak (as powersteering will be removed anyway), I basically want to revert the rack back to manual steering. I'll remove the pump, reservoir, cooler, piping, and basically plug the line holes at the rack. I might fill the valve chamber with some automotive grease to keep it lubricated, but basically, it'll be a sealed unit.
do you think this will pose any problems in getting a pink slip? some integras at the time came out with manual steering, as did civic's and CRX's of the same vintage. ultimately i'll do a sub-frame swap, but just need to get this done for pinkslip
