Howdi folks. Newbie here and seriously car*thick. I will have so many questions as i attemp to get my much belovid 2001 GTP TOURING CAMRY road legal. Well i think its a 2001. Thank you for putting up with my dense folks 🙄.

Question* my car needs alot of small things replaced, like belt covers, window up/down buttons ect. And also my streering rack fixed/replaced, so im thinking of buying a el'cheapo to replace everything. And using the steering rack out of el'cheapo? Would that be ok or best try a recondition or new??

Never had to replace a steering rack except the boots but 2nd hand parts will be a gamble. You are going to need to get a wheel alignment so probably best to get the rack replacement right the first time

I did a quick eBay search and located the following reconditioned steering rack

At least it gives you an idea of the price for a reconditioned one.

Good to know your attitude towards your car. Bought my 1998 4cylinder Camry CSX new and have always used better quality parts when doing maintenance especially when it is going to be retained in the family. New Boge shock absorbers, heavy duty standard height King Springs and Ultra Racing front strut bar for improved handling. For preventative maintenance purposes, I have used XADO products in the engine and transmission.

When the radiator developed a crack in the upper plastic top, I replaced with a new radiator (sourced from eBay). 

Anyway, your car has done its depreciation so makes sense to me to put a few $$ into keeping your car drivable.
