Anyone pulled their power steering fuse?

I like elec power steering. It rocked in my RX-8, made it one of the most pleasurable cars to autox - past cars I raced with traditional systems always struggled to keep up, our Corvette use to puke power steering parts regularly.

I think the system in the Yaris works great. In the GT/B-Spec cars it works seamlessly, I had no problem on the track with it.

I hated the H Prod car when we first started racing it... Due to some hacked wiring the system never worked, and with a 10" wide slick the car was a beast, always fighting you in the turns. However, with time we were able to work out some of the steering bind, making it easier to drive. Ditching the elec motor and the stock column made it much easier to turn (still not as good as the EPS system), and it actually dropped a good bit of weight.

No brainier for me, in a street car I would keep it.

It actually sounds like it is better for track than street. The primary complaint about the EPS is how it induces wander at highway speed.
