Papahuge Just want to see how many people have looped lines and remove powering from their rwd volvos? Pros and cons? Currently engine swapping a car, and working out if its worth the hassle of making it work...
Philia_Bear ramrod Take off the belt and see whether you can deal with the heavier steering whilst parkingPretty much this....
Dauntless 240s without P/S still have light steering compared to most non P/S cars, not an issue for a daily driver.

Dauntless 240 non P/S steering is lighter than the Excels driven by average size/strength women in the until not that long ago.

jamesinc I've found manual rack to be okay provided you use the right ball joints and a 195 tread tyre. But that's also with a giant steering wheel

Spac Depowered PS rack is heavier and faster than a manual rack. I would strive to keep the PS operational myself.

Different ratio as well as different ball joints for altered steering geometry.My first car was an 81 244GL with P/S deleted, second car was an 82 244GL with a manual rack which I converted to P/S ball joints for more castor. I honestly didn't notice much difference.
