I had no p/s on my last car... it was AWESOME... I loved the feel compared to the p/s on my civic..

However... i wouldn't just yank the belt...

It'll work but it'll be much stiffer then it should be if it were no p/s to start with... however non-ps rack generally have CRAPPY ratio's... IE it takes more turns of the wheel to accomplish the same amount of wheel turn...

The 96 ITR had an option for no p/s... and has a good ratio but finding that rack would probobly cost an arm and a leg...

You "can" just pull your belt but it's pretty silly imo... at least get rid of the extra pump weight to.. then you'll drop like .00001 sec. of your quarter... instead of .00000001 with just the belt.

Long story short... unless it's part of an overall trend of removing weight and accessories you're going to see little to no gain...

The stock p/s system free-wheels most of the time anyway... it's not putting much drag on the crank.
