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

[soulshadow]

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!

there are a few people on here that dont have theirs. i would never loose mine.
i think you might have more of a feel of the road while driving, but it should really make your handling any different

I dont have PS either, I love it.

I cant stand driving cars without it.

ps helps absorb some of the shock on the road.

I would never want to drive a car without powersteering. Parallel parking is as hard enough as it is.

When I used to have P/S with my 7afe it felt like I was sliding most of the time when I went through corners. Now it feels like Im in control!

ok from my understanding, if ur car has power steering and u shut the car off while ur rolling its HARD AS HELL to steer...but if u remove the system its easier to steer without p/s?

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

Most race cars don't have power steering... and like you said its a great thing... you do feel the road so much better.. but parking is a bitch .. but do you drive more or park more?

A true manual rack is different from a power steering rack that isn't working... As far as I know... I think ALL 6th gen celicas had power steering standard... I don't like broken power steering racks... I do however love a true manual steering rack.

Yah I love the top of the hill and the down hill driving part too! Deff. turn off the engine and make sure that your brakes don't work anymore too! ITs so awesome as you scream your AS off going down the hill and into the tree or off the road and fly sky high!! Its so COOL!

[o0black0o]

Don't do that again...

Turn the wheel hard enough it will lock and the brakes won't work..

GL killing yourself next time though!

[lagos]

wow, i hope he was just kidding cause thats a great way to kill youself.

so if you have a nomal p/s celica and remove the pump it will drive like a celica with a broken p/s rack or like a manual built p/s car?

People can make claims all they want... but a broken PS rack does NOT feel like a manual rack. A broken PS rack is stiff and feels like... *GONG* ... a broken PS rack.

lmfao its soooo true. I guess there are idiots in more places than just south florida.

So, how would you go about converting? I've noticed the Celica's steering to be a little uninformative. There's not too much chance I'll switch to manual, but I'd still like to know how to do it. You're going to tell me it's not possable without a custom box since there aren't any Celica's without PS, aren't you?
