No power steering = full control, haven't got them to work, might not too! |

Ok, with my 4age swap I haven't been driving with any power steering for the last couple weeks. My celica feels totally different and turning when the wheels aren't rotating is a pain in da ass. Anyways, I noticed a big difference in control when I take the corners around my place. (i live out in the countryside). It feels much more like your in control. Overall, Power steering has its pros and cons. It does give more total control, but at the same time a full revolution of the steering wheel is a major drag. For now, i'll be the only one on 6G without any power steering in my celica. My tendons are pumped now!

It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |
