fixing it would prolly be more cost effective. unless you like manual steering.

takes a while to get used to it. but i don't recommend it. come time you need to swerve, you'll wish you had ps.

dude ps doesn't do alot until your in a parking lot going like 2mph after you take off its no prob, i wolud take the belt off and just leave it until you can get it fixed...

you can go to a auto store and see which belt fits people do that all the time......

Dude, I love driving at higher speeds with no power steering. You have a much better feel of what your wheels are doing. Drifting is way cooler. The only reason I went power is because of the low speed turning. My wrists and arms were dying. It's my DD and driving through parking lots or making U turns were killer.
