Well, I will agree that it is kinda stupid to remove p/s for 5 hp. but when I went to take out my steering rack, the last bolt stripped, so I had to just leave it, and now i have none, till i get some extra time to get that bitch off. I have a 91 accord w/lude 6.5 wide wheels, and yeah, its a bit hard to steer when at a stop, but you learn to turn your wheel back straight when you are backing up, and things like that. After 10 mph, I dont notice its gone.
But if you wanted to remove it, all it takes is to take off the belt, and see how you like it. My car ran a tad smoother after I lost it.
