I broke my p/s pulley bolt. I've been running my car without the p/s belt. Well this is my opinion, but I do have to say it.
It is retarded to run like that. You will not turn as fast without the power assist. As for the road feel, wtf gives a damn. The FC is solid enough the way it is. I think it is safer, faster to run with the p/s. Read the Grassroot motorsports article. They specifically ordered a FC with p/s

Well removing to manual rack is different, but still IMO. Not worth my damn time and money. If you want to save that 20lbs. Go eat taco bell and crap it out. Or spend the money and time on something that makes your car faster

...and to think, i was considering removing the P/S for weight reduction.... Now I don't think I will, unless it fails on me...

Which models had manual rack? I am pulling my engine to fix the engine, then swapping it to another chassis, so I could get the rack and install it soon. How much do they cost??

For sure, none of the series5 came with a manual rack. Only the 86-88 models had them. It'll cost b/w $65 and $150 but if GB from mazdasurplus you'll get it even cheaper?
I think if we lighten the car enough to around 2500lb, the steering effort will be less of an issue.
