Hey, thanks. I saw you wearing that "2nd Place" tee so proudly, I figured you needed another one after you wear the old one out! Yellow_Colorz_PDT_04 It was certainly a fun season battling it out.

Oh man, that's garage bulliten board material there. I have a feeling Steve is going to remember that comment going into next season. :twisted:

I guess either my steering rack is crap or the fluid kept overheating, as in the back half of the course (5 of 6 runs) the power steering would go out. Made for nice surprises as you're in a good flow and suddenly the car takes much more effort to turn.

I guess I should start looking at an upgrade...
Boiling over PS fluid is not an extremely rare problem. Neons used to do it regularly, and even some Miatas have been known to do it, among many other cars. Try flushing out your PS hydraulics with some synthetic PS fluid (or synthetic ATF, pretty much the same thing), it's more resistant to heat issues. Fixes it for a lot of people.
In all honesty, I'm not sure if mine's even ever been changed. The service schedule just says "inspect" every 15k miles, so if Mastro did it (when I was having my car done there) it hasn't been done for almost 25k miles. I'll have to pull out the service records. A fresh change sounds like a good project for this weekend.
