Who needs power steering?!

I'm thinking about going to manual steering in my nova so I can get the 454 to fit. I just can't see any other way to make it fit . Anyone else running manual steering? Regret it?

I had a '78 Camaro with a 454 with no power steering. It takes a bit of muscle when you're in a parking lot but other than that, no problem.

3400lb truck + 31" tall tires on deep backspaced rims, weighing in about 60lbs each, no power steering.

---- you ----- boys that whine about no power steering hitting a pothole with dinky tires on stock rims.

my 3600lb 300zx with 245 wide tires had no powersteering, it wasnt too bad if you were rolling, i liked it actually, but being stopped took some weight to turn the wheel.

have you driven a small car with no ps? Take that has your judge. None of my hondas have ever had ps but I know when I drove my brothers 70's white trash mobile with no ps it was kinda of a pain

No PS in the Crx. Anything above 15mph and you dont notice and will probably actually like it more

Parking lots and little manuevering and such you got flex a little

Re: Who needs power steering?!

del slo didn't have it, civic did, crx doesn't....crx is the easiest out of all of them, but they're all easy.

i'd prefer no ps, less crap in the way and feels more responsive.
