Default Tighter steering Integra?

Is there a way to reduce wheel play and make the handling a little more responsive?

You can adjust the steering rack. Needs a tool that Honda sells, but it doesn't seem like much work. Should make it a little tighter. If I find the thread again, I'll post a link.

Everyone is saying to tighten your steering rack but doesnt seem to know how. On the back of the rack theres a huge locknut probably 32mm or slighty bigger and theres a bolt in the middle of it. Loosen the huge nut with a crescent wrench or watever you have and turn the center bolt a quarter turn at a time. Lock down the big a@# nut again and take her for a spin. If you get it too tight the wheel wont return and itll be hard to steer. You dont want to keep it like that or youll need a new rack for your birthday. Good luck
