"From the first turn of the steering wheel, this car needs to be fun and special"

I think the steering is a nice idea. It works well on mr2, s2000 etc. If the ecu is controlling the assist then once it's cracked you'll be able to tune it to behave how you want. No ps fluid/pump or any of that mess. It also makes changing engine that much easier.

Should be awesome.

Obviously you know nothing about Toyota ECUs.

And what if the parts were to go towards making the rest of the lineup lighter?
