Do you find the steering hard to turn?

its a light car why bother, my corona is slightly heavier and lots more wieght over the front cos of the 22re versus tiny 4ac or 4age and its fine, very light only noticable at slow speeds ie when parking and even then its a breeze. Why not spend the money on better suspension new tyres that will make the car safer and lighter on the steering anyway, and you can't beat the feedback of no power steering

Depends how much caster you've got - standard these cars run nothing like enough, in order to preserve the artificially light steering. Do some fiddling, get some caster, let someone else drive it, and watch them whinge!

dont need p/s at all..
i run the power steering arms, which give you quicker turning and more lock, but result in a harder to turn wheel. Still, i dont care for p/s, the feedback im getting is AWESOME, and u just dont need p/s in such a little car.
