We are around man, you are welcome to come by, just give me a holler 210-535-8617. We are installing a Revi on a 2010 GT tomorrow night. I'll be replacing my power steering harness Saturday but that won"t take long.

So what exactly were your symptoms that led you to the harness? Today I was about to leave work when my power steering went out again. I put it on the lift and checked it with the IDS system and I got some code (I forgot what it was) something along the the lines of "power steering input shaft sensor malfunction". I unplugged the sensor from the input shaft and followed it all the way to the EPS under the PCM. I checked all the wiring and I found nothing wrong. Then I saw the the sensor on the input shaft was misaligned, so I aligned it and ran the IDS system again and the code went away... Hopefully it went away for good.....

It just randomly quit so I read MM's thread about and pulled the wires apart and cleaned them. It worked for a few days and then started again, I cleaned them and it lasted a while longer. Now it's random.

But basically they get corroded (more so if coolant get spilled all over them) and I could take everything apart but for $100.00 it's not worth the hassle.

there is a software reset for the power steering have you tried it? I once thought I also had a power steering problem but it turned out to be a loose bolt that IPAC did not tighten rubbing on one of the steering Knuckles.

Yeah the reset didn't fix anything. This morning it is working fine. That new harness ends with "D" so that means there have been a few revisions to it since the original part was "A".

I was actually impressed with the new harness, it appears really well made and beefy.

Aluminum Fuel door with Shinka wheels, yes or no? This is the only accent I would make to play off the wheels.

Just not much of a change. The color isn't that different. 40th or Series 2 rims would look nice though. You aren't looking at the 9.5 +28 with 245/40s you asked about in the will it fit thread?

Yeah I'm all over the place. I never thought the difference was significant until I saw them sitting next to each other in my driveway. I'm crazy, I love the stock wheels design, the way they play off my rotors, etc. The wheels I really like, I just can't justify the cash on.

T5 = amazing but $$$ Enkei = pretty close to amazing and only $¢ Watch subi and evo forums (zilvia.net also) enough and you will find decent deals on all the Enkei rims.
