hey 1 week ago my power steering started to leak and i was thinking of getting rid of it but i was wondering if it was good to hav powersteering in circuit races because i was origonaly gonna make my car into a drifter but the car is too nice to do that.
to keep powersteering or not?

the supra needs power steering its a big car and weights a lot so you don't want to be fighting with it in ever turn if you want that go buy a 60's musle car with out power steering its the same feeling

I dont know what your talking about, the MkIII is really not that bad to work on.
Seriously. The AC Pump was removed on mine when I bought it, one day in 80* weather and I wish it was in there, especially when it rains. At least I have a targa though.tissimo said:
it's not bad to do. you don't have to, you know; you could just drop in a quart of fluid each week (not a pint, a quart) like i did before i replaced themjackattack said:

Well Lordy, then. I must be fighting one hell of a battle. :icon_wink
No power steering, no air conditioning and it's hardtop. :icon_bigg
Quite frankly, I'm getting tired of seeing P/S threads.
It's a simple decision: Either you want and need it, or you don't.
If you seriously plan on doing any road course or auto crossing, then I would most definately recommend having power steering. A 3500-3600lb car, throwing it around corners and trying to hold your ground with two bare hands is quite the job.
I personally run without Power steering for my own given reasons.
Not because some joebob legendary Supra man says yes or no.
My handmade turbo intake pipe doesn't allow it, I'm a big guy so I can hold my own, and I don't do any type of auto cross. Simple as that.
You be the judge.

amen
all these people are like what should I do.
Simple Do what you want.
See any powersteering,ac, ? Hell i dont even have a heater why you ask? Plan is track car. It weighs 3027 and 3235 with me with more weight to come out.
If I was road racing then yes ps but i just want to go straight fast.
If it were my choice, I would keep power steering. I don't have it and I regret bending up the high pressure power steering hose (by accident) and taking off the pump before putting the engine in. But that being said, if the car is moving you can steer it just fine. I can get a good drift out of it without power steering. But I think I pulled a muscle near my ribs doing it cuz it hurts now, lol.
I too run without power steering for my reasons. If you guys think it is hard to steer without it, then you need to eat more protein (seriously) :icon_razz
A few others things to add while I am posting.
1. It looks cleaner in the bay without it
2. Drop weight
3. Free up hp

You damned well better believe it. :biglaugh:
Duane - It most certainly cleans up the engine bay! Just one less thing to clutter up a work of art, right? :icon_razz

Fix the power steering , and then sell the car! This is not a car to have if you don't want to work on it.jackattack said:
Power steering and AC are for sissy's or daily drivers..
Supras don't need it
My car really isn't that hard to steer, although, it only weighs 3190 now and a good bit of weight has been moved to the rear.
