Default Power steering ICV fix, and then.....

Well, yesterday we bypassed the ICV and plugged it. Steering feel improved, and no more white smoke upon starting the car.


Today, huge power steering leak. Reservoir emptied. I got it to the garage and it's parked there now,

Unfortunately they can't get to it until Monday. For one, I hope to god that the alternator isn't ****ed, second, I hope it's an easy fix.


I just bought the car! haha

It's sitting at the garage. They will get to it Monday.

Back to the civic for the weekend! I'll update Monday.
