yep, pretty much.

you could also take the belt off that drives the pump for a couple days and see if you like it or not.

Flipping a U-Turn is a bitch to do without power steering, but other than that everything else is fine. I feel more in control when i dont have P/S

its alot harder to turn with every thing hooked up and the belt off than if you took the hose off.

i like not having power steering. im so used to it whenever i drive someone else's car, it's so weird and I feel like you just float around.

Thats pretty much the way to do it...if you dont want to do that then make sure you get down and lube the rack every so often...

and if you go the closed loop route make sure you install a breather so that pressure doesnt build and F stuff up

i think its more responsive without Power steering but when your just chilling and trying to park / u - turn / basically when your stopped or going like 5 mph its a bitch man its really stiff and you gotta really lugg on

i may be wrong but i m pretty sure the power steering turns off after u hit a certain mph. so there really is no difference unless ur going under that specified mph. now driving at low speeds without ps is no fun ..i wouldnt remve it unless ur going to do a pretty decent build on ur car other than that i dont see the reason in getting rid of it.

If your going to pull your Power steering, do it right and either swap your rack and pinion to a Non-PS rack or loop PS on the rack with a smoall hose. If you dont loop it and you loose all your PS fluid the rack gets f'ed up.

But, IMO.. Be a baller and roll with all the comforts. PS, AC, & CC and dont be like the rest and strip your car to be "faster".
