$688

At least I got my snub mount installed along the way and my stripped boost sensor bolts on my Bi Pipe fixed for no added cost.. but still. Ouch.

Turned out the PS pump I got off ebay was crap and had to get a used one from the shop which added an additional $100 to what I expected to pay. Then they found something wrong with my reseviour which added more $$$ to replace it. *sigh*

There goes the rest of my budget for modding for the rest of the year I think.

Any idea what caused the PS pump failure? Had you ever done a flush/fill prior to failure?

Default God, I can't even imagine that right now. It wouldn't be as bad if I haven't already spent well over

3k in modding / maintaining the car in the past 2 months.

My wallet definitely needs a 6mo. break. I hope the car complies.

Default Don't drive it. Like I tell my friends-

"The parts for these cars last half as long and cost twice as much"

If you only had $688 for mods that's pretty light mod budget.
