anyone autox without powersteering?

[T Verdier]

yeah, ricers. What's the purpose of a stripped out street car? beating civics light to light?

true. but what if you track your DD?

[craiggroves91]

You've only got 9 fingers man. I'd keep it.

Am I the only one who cracked up when i read this?

[nando]

true. but what if you track your DD?

then will it really matter if you're 3/10ths slower?

Exactly.

HPDE != racing/TT

Non-powered E36 rack is the setup of kings.

Perhaps, and this is what I run on the street and for trackdays, but for autox I usually put the ps back on. Then again, the autox's here tend to be very tight.

[Lurker27]

True. I might be biased against PS because I bench 350lbs :)

[SA E30]

Lol!

People ask me how I can run manual steering and brakes. Well because like Lurker27 gym does have some benefits although I sometimes wonder if carry the extra muscle mass equates to the same amount of weight removed from the car from the manual brakes and steering.

I have no power steering on my track car but then the car is down to 2300 lbs with half a tank of gas

I worry about that too. My brother weighs 100 lbs less than me (260 vs 160)...in a 2500lb car that's a big delta (3.7%)

I pulled the belt on my stripped eta and it's super easy to turn. If I didn't know, I'd swear it had p/s... it's only hard to turn when the car is sitting dead still. I think I'm going to remove the p/s pump and whatever else I can find to further lighten the car. BTW, between the a/c, p/s, and clutch fan delete, I picked up a noticeable amount of power.

My jetta has no PS. Again it is a much lighter car and is FWD so its a bit easier. Anyway, I like it and I hate the PS in our volvos.

[carguy101]

ok for all of you who are saying it is hard to drive on the street makes me wonder, I am 6'2 145lbs, you do the math..and I dont have a problem except when under 3 mph, and even then it just requires a tighter grip on the wheel, parallel is a little trickier but ok it takes you an all of what 10 seconds to park? I love the feedback through the wheel and in tight turns its more rewarding and isnt that why we drive bimmers to begin with? Now with r-comps that may be a different story

[10/10ths]

go ahead and try it and see. or just remove the belt for a couple runs.

it might be okay on 195 or 205 street tires, but switch up to some sticky, wide r-comps on a tight course and I bet you'll want it back.

I tried this years ago on a tight course (CSCC for those familiar) while running 205 Azenis. I thought I would be able to "feel" the tires better.

I quickly had the power steering back on for the next event.

It might equal out weight wise but you get more vajayjay with the extra muscle mass+the BMW roundel. Not to mention all the boys love your too because of the Fuhraze mods. That's the only reason I run no PS anyway, that and so I can call people pussies for having it.

HAHA that's great.
OP: how about some update healing pictures of your finger?
