most girls i know would ask why there are 3 pedals on the floor

no P/S is ok man, you'll get used to it pretty fast. the only time it sucks is when the car isnt moving.

No power steering keeps your arms buff Although its not to bad in lighter Hondas.

You might want to try this way to remove your power steering.

It's supposed to be much less effort in turning the wheel.

I used a 4" die grinder to cut Mr. Belding's PS bracket, took me about 5 minutes to cut it...
