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! tongue.gif

my friend and i actualyl have a name for driving without power steering

we go to the top of a hill with winding roads to the bottom... get it rolling down, take it out of gear, turn off the motor and then turn the key to the on position

then we drive around at 2 in the morning with no lights and confuse the **** out of the people that cant see or hear us but know that we are driving by... its pretty stealthy

but i have noticed that without the power steering the car handles a lot differently, there is a lot more feedback in the wheel but you need a little more power for it... its cool to drive without power steering when you are screwing around on the back roads somewhere up in the mountains but as soon as i hit traffic in san diego or try to drive at 10 mph in a parking lot im sure glad i have my powersteering
and i always thought it was only florida where they give away licenses to just about everyone.
