warranty on drivetrain is more than bumper to bumper.

i don't know how the power steering could damage the steering rack.

I don't think it will damage anything but you should get it fixed as it is dangerous to drive like that .... if anything you'll get bigger biceps

I've heard of steering wheels turning right and left, but never turning gay.

I have a lot of respect for all cars in general and especially the car i am currently driving. i know my limits, i just happened to hold the wheel in the lock position for too long. i don't claim to be a mechanic, i wasn't aware the pumps can blow that quick.

Drifting is easy in these cars and works very well...that's why you see it used in WRC constantly. I know FR's are THE drift cars. I used to drive an FR layout. Doesn't mean AWD can't keep up. i just wouldnt do it on pavement because i'm not tsuchiya here.


...btw..isn't it spelled TRUENO?

to be able to perform an all wheel drive drift needs lots of skillz
you can slide a 4 wheel car "easy" but not drift anyways just becareful with your car after all its an american marekt mitsu not as reliable as jdm

Hey, isn't that a rare White-bellied Woodpecker Drydichus javensis?! Typically found nestled in STi's, rarely seen near Evos
