Starlet Nath Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 As the title suggestsShould I ditch the power steering and just get a rack from is it the S that doesn't have power steering?1. Weight saving2. Gives me a bit more feel3. I'll get huge biceps Quote
paul w Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Errmmm no No power steering will get on your tits very quickly i expect! Especially when it comes to parking in a tight space. Quote
Fogdoggydog Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Ditch it!!!!!My non-PAS Fiesta was great fun to drive. Where it lacked in speed, it gained in roundabout related mayhem.Car without power steering are much more fun to drive. You biceps won't get much bigger cause when the car is moving the steering in very light in small cars anyway.And as for the parking thing, you have to learn to never turn the wheels while the car is stationary cause if you only turn the wheel while the car is moving it's not heavy at all. It may sound daft to all those used to spinning the wheel with one hand while the car is sitting on one spot, but you'll get used to it. Quote
Mikey Jay Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 by the way, the Starlet S does have power steering.Not sure which one it is that doesn't have it. Quote

Idrees Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 I thought driving without Power steering would be a complete b*stard, but i drove an old Swift GTI on the weekend and i couldn't really feel the difference till it came to dry steering!P.S - Swift GTI's are quick and i want one Quote

Idrees Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 just the standard i model basic in everyway possible bar the air conYou have A/C? Quote
Starlet Nath Posted May 18, 2007 Author Posted May 18, 2007 No point, you aint gonna make any extra power, just biger arms, Would you sacrifice easy dry steering for 2 bhp? I fucking wouldnt ! Your not gonna notice any extra power with or without power steering Well there are benefits with power to weight ratio, because if any of you have actually felt how heavy the components are that make up the PAS you know. The cast steel bracket that bolts to the engine is heavy enough on it own!!!So I disagree!!I haven't made my mind up what to do Quote
