It handled soo much better in my opinion. I've driven 1g's with it and without it and I like the way it felt without it better. It just seemed to cooperate better.

it's not going to make it handle any better or worse, its all in the feeling of the wheel since its going to be alot harder to turn.

Not really. It took me like... half a day to get used to it. Anyways, to ME, I personally felt like I had more control over it BECAUSE it didn't turn so easy. For example, I could bump it on accident and KNOW I wasn't going to go flying into the other side of traffic.

but do you really think that your going to "bump" yourself into on coming traffic? and at any rate it isn't related to the topic at hand. p/s or no p/s personal opinion.

Do you ever use the damn shift key?

It depends on how you look at it and how technical you want to get. If you have the amplification of steering wheel torque provided by your manual rack and pinion equal to the theoretical amplification provided by your power steering system, your manual system will be more responsive because of the energy loses in the power system due to the use of fluid power.

I've driven both very aggresively in the twisties and I'd never even considering going w/o the power steering. Manual steering made transitioning from one direction to the other MUCH more difficult.

all fixed! it went out at night so i really didt get a good look at it, i just zip tied it to a hose so i wouldent lose it on the way home! but i do have to say that it was not to bad driving with out it i accually considerd leaving it off! but i personaly think that it would be crazy to drive with out it.

when i do the rebuild on my car it is for-sure going along with the A/C! but i will have another daily driver by then!

Then you are a pansy because I have done the same and I prefer it without
