As the title states, would this be detrimental to my 3G mirage hatchback performance wise?

power steering not much.. and hard to find a non power rack n pinion tho..


ac if it doesnt work then yes.. removing the condensor lets more air get to the rad to cool it..

as far as adding power if they are removed.. maybe 2-4 hp max for the PS.. and nothing from the ac but weight.

^ ^ Damn bro, thats legit. Was thinking of upgrading the handbrake to make a FWD drift killer (dreaming slightly) therefore may be more beneficial to me to remove the Power steering?

I don't see how it could be any benefit. If your car isn't a turbo model, try to find a turbo model steering rack, they are geared differently, and take less turns to go lock to lock. to the best of my knowledge, all turbo cars came with power steering.
Removing it really doesn't help anything IMO... I still have it and AC on my car as well.

Was thinking of removing the AC to make the steering wheel feel a little heavier and then also to make it less responsive when linking between drifts (especially with downhill courses).

Scratch that, just ran a 9.9@146

Nice! ^^^

Keep the power steering, the car is so much more nimble with it. I've tried the twisty turny's too. Could use a slightly larger cooler at the front if you are really working the power steering system in tight cornering and lower speeds like in am auto cross parking lot scenario.

No reason to get rid of the extra stuff, we've all seen it before and it's never served a purpose unless people really know what they are doing, and/or the car is a dedicated race car with 0 creature comforts. LILEVO just proved that even my statement has little merit, because you can have it all, and with no drawback type excuses.

Thanks mate appreciate the comment! Just to clarify when you say a larger cooler do you mean an intercooler or radiator to cool the water?

Chur!

The power steering cooler is just a metal line that runs up to the front rad support area. You can out in a larger cooler quite easily, as long as it's not sharing space with a stock JDM engine oil cooler in the drivers side of the bumper/rad support.

Mate thanks will deffs look into that! How can I make the steering wheel feel heavier without removing the p/steering though?
