    HAHA! yeah I am iffy about ditching PS on a grip car (since I want the extra help to save my bacon in case I encounter a spin) but I would certainly be interested in trying to drift a car with no PS on dry pavement to see how hard it is, at least when things get to four-wheel drifting and the front tires are no longer just rolling in a straight line.

    Did you have plans for an E36 or Z3 rack? I absolutely love my Z3 rack.

    You can try to drift my E28. Have fun. you can't scandinavian flick for shit, even in snow. It's just hard, you can't palm steer it at all. you literally have to gorilla grip that shit.

      Tried drifting an AE86 with no power steering, weighs like 1800lbs with 2 people in it, still was hard. Trust me dude, keep your power steering. It's difficult, even for grip driving. day to day driving is what ever in my car. I don't really care. but anything beyond that, and you'll be begging for powersteering.

        Its not that bad! Just sucks when you try to go full lock. But I agree your sacrificing ease of car control by doing a ps delete.

          Does your car have power steering chris? mines fully disconnected. Either way Mitch, keep your fucking power steering. If you get rid of it, I swear to god I'll punt your sisters dog. deleting perfectly good power steering, is literally the stupidest thing I've ever heard, unless it's for drag racing.

            Unless you're getting a manual rack. But I don't think they make E30 manual racks. power steering racks are geared for.. well a power assisted pump. So the gearing is gunna suck.

                    Yep went out last spring, pump finally gave out. Hasn't bothered other then when I have to parallel park lol. Still had fun with the car on the cruises over summer. Manual rack would be sweet!

                      Word, but yours is an ETA, you know nothing of fast, or fun! ;)

                      Manual rack would be ideal. It'll gear it up, and help A TON.

                            Snap, I have an e36 rack I picked up for 50$ haha. I've seen a couple other guys without power steering and they didn't think it was that bad. And half of the drift you let go of the wheel anyway and let it spin, stop it and have fun.

                              Only reason letting go of the wheel works is cause of weight transfer, half due to power steering. a power steering rack with out the power steering, defeats 90% of the purpose. If you're going to run with out power steering mitch, swap in a manual rack out of an S13, you'll thank me later.

                                See I looked it up on r3v, and a lot of guys who drift delete it, and it's supposedly better. I don't know. Mine wasn't in the best shape either(leaking).

                                    Rowley, alot of the children on R3v, are fucking stupid. and don't drift, they rip the e-brake and slide one direction, and let off the brake. not drifting. That's weak as hell. And gay. Fix your goddamn power steering, and don't be dumb. Especially if you're going to go extended steering, that shit will break your forearm in half if it catches mid drift. That shit will hurt so goddamn bad.

                                      Take it from someone you actually know. it'll suck ass. If you really want, I'll let you have some spirited driving in my E28. it'll make you think twice. I regret getting rid of my power steering so much, BUT. mine leaked like a mother fucking siv.

                                        I don't know man. There was a ton of people supporting it. I'll try it out, and fix it if I don't like it.

                                          Because alot of people support stupid stuff. Like skinny jeans and fake glasses. Telling you right now, if you get rid of it, and don't install a manual rack. You're gunna hate it...
