Hello everyone, I just joined here. I've been driving a 1999 Toyota 4Runner 5-speed 4x4 for the last 4 years but have decided I'd rather something cheaper to run. I've got it sold and I'm looking at a 1989 Corolla 1.6L and a 1999 Camry 2.2L, both 5-speed manual (leaning towards the Camry). The Camry has an overly light steering feel and I've had a few issues with the 4Runner leaking power steering fluid, I'd rather a stiffer/sportier feel and I've heard I could gain some fuel economy as well. I'm a DIYer but I'm not really sure where to start with this. Hopefully picking up the Camry in a couple days. Has anybody got experience with this gen Camry (1997-2001)? And has anybody converted a power rack to manual in a similar car?
Thanks!
