Finally, properly (don't ask
![Wink](images/smilies/wink.gif)
), tightened my power steering belt up so it's snug and no longer squealing (exclaim). Hope hope hope it stays that way but it seems good so far.
It's been a good 6 months since I've properly done anything aside from the timing belt fiasco and small problems have occurred (some before) since the timing belt needed replaced last, so I made a list of things I need to get fixed before summer. For those interested

After that... I should be gold... at least, for a little while. I'm afraid I'll easily bump over $1k should I actually need a rack/pinion deal due to the steering issue.
Kind of pricey but a small price to pay overall I guess ( I always throw the no payments factor in there). Little things add up quickly.
