im doing a 1j swap and i want it in and i can go with no powersteering for awhile just so i can be closer



what do yall think go ahead and put the powersteering or wait?

No power steering here. Its only a PITA when trying to park in a parking slot.
I rarely park my car close to other cars for fear of door dings, so it no a problem for me.

i would do it now, just to go ahead and have it out of the way.

why take it out.. it makes the car more of a pos without it.. its not like its really going to help the weight..

Wanna be

?
Then do it:icon_razz
I drive with a semi-power-steered wheel I guess. Something isn't working right, but it isn't like without it at all....

No power steering sucks ass.....I'm used to it, but when I drop the JDM motor in the car, it's getting PS again......UGH!

Keep powersteering...

Some will say otherwise but I'll never understand it. It's only making things easier on you.

Ok, so maybe the parking lot is the only time you'll really need it alot. I don't know about you guys but I park my car everyday. :dunno:

 

[KicknAsphlt]

LOL! Mine's been parked (until today) for the past month and a half or so....D'OH!

i took out my power steering when i did my big single build cause i never got around to relocateing my resivoiur. its not too bad, but i think ill be putting it back in soon. i just hate running hydrolic hose everywhere. ss braided lines would be nice, but they are expensive.

I went no ps for 3 weeks on my car because my high pressure line ruptured.:cry: I thought "well who needs it anyway" removed the belt and went on my way. It was ok during 10mph+ but slow driving was a pain! Our cars are heavy and need ps for comfort. I put a new hose on and said never again!:nono:

Look up a local hydraulic shop. The local place was super helpful when I needed hydro-fan fittings.

powersteering is for pussies! Until you take 5 minutes to park on a tough spot....

i don't want a "luxury GT car." If it were up to me, Id have manual windows and locks. Less is more, just look at the evo rs

 

[OneJoeZee]

Why didn't you buy an EVO then? :dunno: Or some other car that has "less."

Agreed! If I paied $30,000 for a car and it didn't have power windows I would be pissed! I think I'll stick with my $2,000 targa top, power window/door lock having supra! (Nice sig OneJoeZee) :biglaugh:

i would love to own an evo rs one day. this is how i see it, if it isn't there, it can't break. i hate electric throttles, and mercedes benz now makes there steering that doesn't even steer the car, its all electronic. all that electronic wizardry adds weight, which is the worst think you can add to a performance car. don't get me wrong, i love my car, and i know im a minority with my wants in a car. however, ill just rip the crap off that i don't think is necessary, like my ac and ps.

PLUS, i don't have anywhere near what i need to afford an evo rs

Why did you buy a Supra then if you're more interested in a bare bones type car?

(Real question, not a bash)

You could have bought a Miata, or an RX-7, or an MR2, etc...
