Try taking off the power steering belt and drive without it. I've driven a 1g without power steering and it wasn't that bad at all. It only sucks when you're not moving.

Yeah, it isn't bad. I drive with the belt cut, and one of these days I will just take the pump out and loop the lines at the rack to clean up under the hood.
At first it kind of sucks, but I got used to it. Wouldn't mind switching to the manual rack as it has a better turning radius.

Just loop the lines. It's only bad if you're driving w/ no PS and have a welded viscous or center diff. D'oh!

Do what Alpine said and loop the lines depending on where its leaking. I've also seen people make an air vent for the rack, not sure if its neccesary for dsms. Just driving w/out the belt is not the same as a manual rack.

Remember that the 1.8 manual rack will take more turns of the steering wheel lock-to-lock; probably make spirited driving a bit more difficult.

I swapped to a manual rack and didn't really notice much difference from having an empty power rack. It takes a little muscle for slow, sharp corners, but otherwise is the cat's ass.

It's quite obvious that there now needs to be a Tom Ferlaak Thread Entrance Exam implemented before Tom and anyone more clueless than he posts in any technical thread from now on.

I know I sure would like to get rid of that archaic recirculating ball steering that comes in our cars!
