Well ive taken out my power steering pump and would like to find a reservoir that will hook up to my rack so it doesn't run dry. Does anyone know where i can buy one of these?

If you put a resevoir on your power steering rack like that it will blow all the fluid out of it. You drive for a little bit and gets hot and blows like a geyser all over the underside of your hood.
You need to let the fluid drain out and then squeeze a little more out by cranking the wheel each direction at least once. You don't want it bone-dry but you'll never get it bone-dry anyway. Then get like a clutch resevoir and drill a big hole through the cap. Then you'll need to rig up some fittings and hoses with T's...
I was never happy with it so I swapped in a manual rack. Turned easier that way. I hate having anything on the car rigged up.

Almost all EG's came with manual racks. Only automatics, LX's, Si's, and EX's came with power steering.

All Sedans came with Power Steering.
