Default Power steering ON/OFF switch?

I have a '98 Integra that I deleted the power steering on years ago for autocross (to save weight and add feel and power) by looping the hydro system and adding a breather. I love it, even on the street (unless I'm parking, haha). The steering feel went from minimal to fantastic, and the effort is not bad at all once above walking speed.

Since the S2k has EPS and is known for merely so-so steering feel, I was wondering - could you turn the S2k's PS on/off simply by adding a switch? I would think pulling the fuse for the EPS would do the same thing, so I'm curious if anyone has wired in a switch.

I have seen a tutorial for other cars with EPS where they put in variable resistors to adjust the amount of assist on the fly and it shouldn't necessarily trigger the EPS light. I don't think anybody has done it on an s2000 though. And frankly, I'm not sure it would increase feel, but it would definitely make the car more difficult to turn. That being said, I wouldn't mind a little less assist...
