Exclamation The Power Steering pump

Just for those who asked, Its a regular 3rd Gen PS Pump. We used the OEM Bracket and cut it up a bit and modefied it to make it fit around the sump cover. As for needed or not. it maybe adds another 10 pounds to the car but the steering feels great, especially when we are doing 2.5 hour enduros.

Thanks for the comments guys, We went racing on Dec 23rd and finished 5th overall. our fueling system killed us. we were in first and we lost 8 mins in the pitts both times trying to fill 22 gallons through 1/2 inch line

Dry break system is already in the workbooks for the march race, i will let you guys know how it goes.

Thank you for all your comments and support guys, from both the forum and Locals. The car is tons of fun to drive and still needs to dial in the set up a bit more. Im removing the suspension to send out to TIEN to have them re-valve and get new springs for the coil-overs. the set up it has now is way too soft and needs to be a little stiffer i belive. the rest is all little things that have to be attended to. The only part that is completely headace free is that motor. 2.5 hours Pulling strong and no bleeps. Again i have to give Kudos to CLR for set-up he has come up with.
