      Advantages:
      Feel the road
      Car idles better
      Car revs free'er
      Less parasitic drag

      Disadvantages:
      Parallel parking sucks
      Steering is stiff (you get used to it but your gf or your parents wouldnt like it)
      Rack doesnt last as long

        What is it about the steering that makes parallel parking harder?

          its harder to move the wheels cause the steering is stiff.try moving the steering wheel when the car is turned off its kinda the same

            at speeds over 5mph, you dont notice a difference. The car actually handles a bit better since the steering wheel is not over sensitive.

            under 5mph, for turning to be somewhat not as bad, the car has to be rolling. If its not rolling, its usually a pain to turn the wheels. (just go turn your key to "acc on", one click before starting it, and then turn the wheels, thats how it feels at a stop w/o power steering).

              If you just take the belt off, you'll be pushing fluid back up against the pump which causes extra resistance, so in general, the more you remove, the easier the steering will get (to a certain point). Removing the pump and just looping the high pressure and feed lines makes a good difference!

                  he just said something about the fluid backing up, not to mention added weight, or lost weight, if you are talkin about after.

                      I cut my belt. I want to loop the lines though.

                          question about looping the lines, has anyone done this? how can it be done, what can take the pressure for long time with out leaks???

                          p.s. can ac belt be remove the same way, just cuting the belt??

                              Are you still planning on making that closed loop kit, Brandon? I'd buy one from you.
