yeah but dont the p\s belt power the water pump?

the powe steeing pump backet is simply the tensioner for the water pump pulley, i cuently leave mine on even though my entire p/s system was removed. in the future ill take a piece fo string and measure the distance around the water pump and crank pulley, get a belt that big and ether sqeeze it on or unbolt the wate pump pulley and put on that way.

dam, you guys are tough. I tried drifting without p/s, and it really sucks. Sucks even more with wide wheels, and low offset.

Post by **midnightsliding** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:41 pm

yea drifting dose sux nutz with out power strerring but im getting used to it

Post by **Touchdown038** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:41 pm

Honestly, why would you want to get rid of the power steering? It's not like the whole system weighs that much anyways, and it helps tremendously.

Maybe I'm just missing something...

Post by **Silent Drifter** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:41 pm

frees up horsepower. Plus you get used to drivin with out powersteering, i prefer it cause you have more feel for the road.

Post by **midnightsliding** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:41 pm

yes silent drifter is dose feel better to me too with out p/s..

Post by **midnightsliding** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:41 pm

plus im trying to get my car lightest as possible. i got it to 2400 now but im still working on it more

Post by **crzycav86** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:41 pm

I'm still wondering what it's like to actually drive without power steering.

Does it feel the same as turning the wheel with the engine off? I tried cruising down the road like that, and let me tell you, it was crazy-stiff!

Post by **midnightsliding** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:41 pm

yes it like that when the car is turn off. but once the car get moving its not that bad i think i love it

Post by **Touchdown038** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:41 pm

How much horsepower could it possibly free up? Maybe 5, at best.

Regardless, it's your car, do with it what you wanna do.

Post by **E Dogg** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:41 pm

i dont do it for power as much as i love the feel of it...i need an iaa unit to adjust my idle properly i think

Post by **midnightsliding** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:41 pm

yea the same here not for the power but a better feel for the road

Post by **Silent Drifter** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:41 pm

I was just stating some advantages, I havent tried driftin yet if anything I would think itd be easier. But it does take some gettin used to not havin power steering but you fall in love with it.

Post by **E Dogg** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:41 pm

i honestly feel unsafe when drivin with power steering now, i wont push p/s cars around corners at all b/c it feels all jello like.Its hard to describe but if you've tried both u wont go back to p/s

Post by **midnightsliding** » Mon Jan 26, 2004 12:41 pm

yeah drifting is harder now with out it but i will get used to it
