[s-cars] for those interested in 6spd info...

Paul,
It's okay.
I break stuff.
Just today, as a matter of fact, it dawned on me that
I may need a new rack.  Oh, well.
Here's the deal:
I'm on my 4th ps pump in 8 months.
New bomb.
New J hose.
New hydraulic line.
No brake light on startup...Woohoo!

But, I still get steering moan/increased effort
sometimes at low speed turns.  Well, could be at high
speed, too, but I wouldn't hear it over the stromung
at WOT.  ;-)
Anyway, I hear a squeak when bringing the wheel back
and get what seems like a pump moan, but it's not the
pump.  No pentosin lost, going in for rack surgery
next week...any other ideas?

Joe, Yeah I break stuff, Pizzo

PS- Paul, that wouldn't happen to be CHARLIE SMITH's
website, now would it?
