I believe it was to power the flux capacitors...

Well, the one thing that worries me is that the XT6 pump I'm using is currently being implemented with no feedback, it's always on 100%. In the XT6 there was vehicle speed and steering angle feedback to control the duty cycle of the pump. One thing I know I should do is consider adding a cooler to be on the safe side but its one of those things on the to do list..near the bottom. I do spring for the $25 bottle of Subaru Cybrid PS steering fluid..that should account for something

heh, and what does "grow your pipes" mean?

The real kicker is the pump keeps me out of the CRS P-Stock class which kinda is THE class to run in for the CRS.

Yeah and at an average of $7.50 for the ideal sized Volvo auxiliary autotragic trannie cooler at better pull-a-parts everywhere I can see why its so low on the list of things-to-do. 8)

Actually less on 50% off weekends..and yeah, you're the one who pushed me to add it to my list in the first place. Its the issues of mounting location, getting the hoses, doing the plumbing, etc etc (waaa waa waaa!) coupled with my "well it hasn't failed yet and the subframe is sitting next to the car atm" mentality that makes me delay.

I do listen and if anything I will give you a great I-told-you-so moment when the pump blows up. =P

Well i believe the CRS had two stock classes where the blue book value of the car had to be less then a couple grand. The Performance Stock Class was a little more open in that the engine can be somwhat more modified. The regular stock class was cancelled since everyone was running P-stock. So now you have people running cheap shells with mucho bucks in engine mods. So P-stock has become the open class where engine displacement is unlimited but somewhat negligible mods like using lexan windows or my PS pump are no good...
