Deleting Power steering

Deleting Power steering
So how does the car drive when you delete it? I see people do it but I would like a few people's opinions on how it makes the car feel after getting rid of it?
I have driven a Slammed honda with no powersteering and I really liked it, made it feel like a race car.

You send your rack to Maval and they do a proper conversion to it (rather than just looping a fluid line):

i did the maval mod myself following the miata tutorial. pretty easy. i didnt have power steering when i go the car, lines werent even looped just off. i cant remember if i noticed a difference from no ps(lines off) vs no ps (done correctly) but i def love the feel of no ps. at highway speeds i FEEL like i have control and FEEL the car. parallel parking is a PITA but its not that bad you just have to learn how to drive it (slowly creep as you turn the wheel)
One thing i love about this car (well my specifically, no ps/abs) is everything is so manual. without the electronic bullshit. every aspect has such a great feel with awesome feedback!

IMHO - Manual is the only way to go. On the track you can feel the "angle" of the tires and it directly corresponds to the steering wheel position. When I auto crossed I would always over crank the wheel and the power steering would take a little time to catch up. I know that the fast auto cross guys all keep the power steering bu it slowed me down. Probably important to note that I am 6' 2" and 230 lbs and I live where you only rarely need to parallel park. I have converted both my third gen and my S5 vert to manual steering. The third gen is a Marval conversion and I put a TII rack in the vert.

If you do autocross/drift, don't you try driving without powersteering, it takes 5 times the effort to go from lock to lock.
If you track, by all means go for it. I have an old 260z on Manual Steering and Yes you can really feel the road much better

I know you did it all your self, but generally how much did it cost in materials? I plan on getting rid of the AC and the powersteering and I wouldnt mind getting rid of the ABS.. Less junk in the engine bay to confuse me LOL, I very rarely have to parallel park.. well iv had the car for almost 3 months now and I havent had to once heh.

yeah but now you must be jacked and feel like a hero when people try turning your steering wheel and yell "how do you drive this thing" and just sit back and flex
