electric power steering...

does anyone know if there is an electric power steering setup for the fc...the new rx8's have them, as do some german car, and they help fuel economy and reduce the amount of hp stolen from the engine...anyone?

there is no point, the gains you would get from freeing the power steering of belts are negligable. i felt no difference between having ps and removing it on the butt dyno. while im sure it makes one or two hp on the high end i found that for solid gains taking the ps off doesnt help.
