Have a 325i that is preped for trackday fun, but is also used on the road. Do most people remove the power steering from the car, as its supposed to give a better `feel`, and doesn`t put as much load on the engine?? Any advice much appreciated!!

Unless you're small it'll be fine without it, don't need it for the track, much better without

you talking about me there then Dom ?? i am only 5'3" remember !!! i struggle with no power steering on long tight corners. I am gettting a new dished steering wheel to bring the wheel a bit closer to be so this should help a bit. the hassle and expense of putting the power steering back on now does not appeal to me !!

I opened up an old brake in my right wrist driving my E36 when it had no PAS last year at Rockingham! Have to do what feels comfortable at the end of the day
