couldnt you just not run the belt?
i drove jeffs car once, and i must admit, i WOULD NOT wanna drive that thing in a city everyday.

Yeap, you could remove the belt.

I'd like to do something to stop the numb feeling I get from this car. I just figured it was because it is FWD, but the more I learn, the more I think it's just this car. It would be hard for me to put in a lot of time, effort, and money to lower the value of my car and take away an upgrade like ps. I'd have to see if someone else actually seen an improvement with this.

i think its more a matter of prefrence.
i personally would NEVER wanna drive my car without powersteering, especially after driving jeffs car.
jeff, on the other hand, dont seem to mind it at all.

Front engine car without ps is pooey... Mr2's without ps are fine...you barely can notice it and you do have nice feel of the road...mr2's front ends are lite weight though. My dad has a Sentra without ps and that car sucks to drive....it feels soo numb to me. I would never want a celica without ps...i think the ps is great on our cars...not too easy but not too hard...gives a nice solid feel to the car.

I drove cars without PS in China, it was wierd at first and almost cost an accident cuz I thought all cars in 2004 should have power steering.
You can feel the road better and feel much more control of the car, but parking is slow, all that turning. Once you start driving it doesnt feel difficult at all. It can build your arm strength and endurance at the same time.
But I wont give up my power steering, especially in NYC. Cutting lanes in n out of traffic on jam packed roads requires quick reflexs which would be impossible without PS, unless your arms are really built.
