None of the US-spec CRXes had power-assisted steering. There may have been overseas (e.g., JDM yo!) models that did, but none that were intended for the US. The car is generally light enough not to need it, especially if it's moving at all.

You were also fighting a 4.5lb/in spring and a giant diaphragm trying to push the entire volume of air through a 1/2" hose while simultaneously pushing the fluid into the calipers and wheel cylinders.
I build and adjust manual braking systems pretty often. The CR-X doesn't need assisted brakes.
