Havnt been on here for a while...this is whats been going on, and I need some help!
What up people? Got a new job and can't get on here as much anymore, wrecked my baby... 
Right at $6010.xx in damage.... good thing I have full coverage only cost me $500. Got new hood, new head light assemblies, brand new 5000k bulbs,df&dr door skins, fresh paint 
, some chrome trim, and new rims on front. Ill spare the wrecked picts for now. But if you wanna see lemme know.
On to my problem. Did 107,000 mile service over the weekend on my 02 tl-s. Finally got to put on my UR crank pulley . So the problem is that we effed up the power steering pump when installing the new belt. Obviously the belt was way too tight. I know flame on! And from research Im not the first one to do this. Started it sounded like crap(the ps pump) and turned off the engine and brake fluid was gushing out of the plastic resivour. SP? So yada yada searched on here and the pump is effed. I searched around on the net for a new one and can get a newby for around 135ish with 119 core. My mechanic friend called today and Acura said they wanted $250 and this was at cost. THis is a trusted mechanic who did most of the svc on it this weekend. A good friend. THey said the 250 was without core.....makes no sense! Are they just stupid and not thinking they already included the core? Any ideas?? Should I just get one off the net? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post.
