Delete power steering?

[mazur]

It's not something you would do for HP increase.

I originally did my delete due to a leaky system and didn't want to deal with it at the time. But now I realize that having no power steering is a great benefit to more "experienced" drivers. Feeling the tires gripping power based on its slip angle is much easier to feel without power steering.

I originally did not expect such feedback. I thought it would just simply be stiffer.

Is it worth taking the whole damn thing apart to take those seals out? (In the miata link)

What difference would that make?
