This Is Randomness(and my build thread, I swear).

I've heard that... Well screw it then, no more ps. So do I just block the holes with screws or something?

Would you recommend just deleting it then? Just don't know how its going to be with a smaller wheel.

It will be fine. Isin't there someone local that will let you drive their e30?

Advantages of PS-delete:

• You don't have to worry about the inevitable leaks and whining sounds and deadspots which will happen even if you replace all the seals and lines.
• Better road feel.
• Increase in power and efficiency at every rpm albeit this is a small increase.
• Small decrease in weight.
• Cleaner, less cluttered engine bay.
• More manly

Disadvantages of PS-delete:

• It's a little harder to turn the wheel when stopped or when going very very slow (less than 5mph)

yeah, when you disconnect the lines turn the wheel back and forth the get pretty much all of the fluid out. bam done.

Sweet, thanks. You know what size the screws are?

BTW, power steering w/o the belt is nothing like deleted power steering.

i went ahead and just deleted mine and put these bolts over the holes, i have no idea what itll feel like with my 24v swap. but im really not worried at all.

I think you should install it anyway but try driving without the power steering belt. If you like it than remove it, if you hate it put the belt on

no power steering in philly is my daily work out. That being said I still rather enjoy it b.c of the feel. Def looking forward to what your car is like when swap is done!

Fuckin Hipster. Non power steering is fine, it just takes some extra effort at lower speeds. Your girlfriend will appreciate your new muscles, you can thank me later.

I disconnected power steering on one of my e30's and it's great.. under 5 mph you get a little extra exercise and over 5mph it feels great with more feedback from the road.

in my e21 without ps it's not very fun when parking, other than that it's not too bad, and feels more fun on a corner :P

I had a 70 beetle with no ps on 225s on the fronts & a 10in steering wheel. It was a bitch to parallel park and u turn
