No PS isn't a huge deal. I've drove several cars including my accord without it. Once your going over 15mph it doesn't matter. But maneuvering in parking lots can be tricky. Well not as much tricky as just a workout.

 

I had a civic with no power steering, it sucked Newspapers.

 

so here is my install


so to start off tsx has an e.p.s.so in order to fit my power steering pump i had to modify the bracket that will take its place



with my new bracket half of the pump is air born


pulleys are straight

the other bracket for the ps pump



im not sure if you can see all them but i now have 8 pulleys lol

 

now comes the wiring. so far this is the biggest pain in the ***. the wiring diagram for the ecu (also known as Powertrain Control Module pinout numbers) took me about 3 hours to find. the pinout numbers i found are for the 08 accord coupe but they appear to be the same. for anyone who may plan on scing 8th gen accord i'll post everything i used on a new thread

 

Correction the 08 accord coup has a different pin than the sedan and to my knoladge 06 civic has the same pin out as the 08 accord coup. The differences between the sedan and the coups is minor. The MAF and I think some of the ground are moved. Luckily a guy at my local honda dealer was able to give me a print out of my cars pinout.

 

my mufflers came in so now i have to decide on single or dual exhaust???
single would be 3" and dual would be 2X 2 1/2"
and wiring is done!

 

i went with dual
here is a video

 

here is the new bumper design

 

Now your car is a body and electrical nightmare! I feel bad for whoever you ever sell this too.

 

Whats your final paint plan?
