Instead I stripped the rack and removed the seal from the rack shaft that seals the space between the inlet/return PS lines, this seal usually pushes the fluid back and forth through the pump loop

Without the seal you have more of a TRUE manual rack. made sure to relubricate everything accordingly when reassembling, just need to adjust the rack tension to honda specs as per manual, fit my new inner track rods and it's good to go back onto the subframe
 
Should be able to give you some feedback soon of how it runs

Refitted the rack yesterday, car should be back on the road this week and will have it on track next saturday, will keep you updated :)

yea that would be spot on mate lookin forward to hear wat its like.
 
You could also try PMing tegboy for more advice I am sure his 9 is using the run round fluid method to achieve manual steering.
 
First impressions.....

Heavy when manuvouring/parking which is understandable, once you're going though it feels spot on, way more cornering feel etc :)
 
i have the lines looped on mine
its fine when moving, alot better actually
abit heavier at low speeds but thats to be expected
