holy are you drunk or soemthing ? lol.. anyways. if you dont have p/s all you have to do when in a parking lot is give a little gas and it makes it alot easier. when i drove my car before i bought it i went to turn a corner and almost didnt make it, i looked over at the owner and im like whats wrong with the power steering? " NO POWER STEER"

If you are trying to build the motor and try to squeeze out every last bit of power, then it makes sense to ditch the power steering. If you are like many of the idiots that convert, its pointless. They are already **** box economy cars and ridding it of one of the few features they have doesnt make sense (all of this is just an opinion unrelated to the thread).

I've driven without power steering and its not as bad as people make it out to be.

A girl could handle a civic no prob ....

...here's one for ya' ... you know those 60' articulated buses in Hamilton? ... did you know they DO NOT have power steering (no kidding) .... 60' of bus + full standing load (say 150 people) + tight corner from a stand still = rotator cuffs begging for mercy at the end of 9 hours

lol.. ok buddy. after a wile you dont notice it. plus its one less thing to go wrong on your car. are you really skinny? is that why you cant turn with no power steering? as long as your moving a little its easy to turn. and its not good for the tires to turn wile not moving anyways. id rahter not have power steering on my little honda, but if i had a nice DD then ya id want power steering.

maybe you should go lift some weights then try it again.
