Default Wire tuck: Where to put the power steering reservoir?

The one right behind the driver side headlight. The power steering one. Where do you guys put it?
Im tucking the coolant reservoir in the front bumper with a longer hose.

I need it tucked by Sunday. I already bought butt connectors, heat shrink and, 16g wire.

Lmao. Yup. This is true. You have to sacrifice a few things to get those super clean engine bays, and power steering is one of the first to go.

It's really not that bad. You only even notice it when you are below a couple mph (parallel parking, etc).

An improperly functioning power steering rack is much worse than a manual steering rack or a properly modified/setup power-to-manual rack.

Very true, take it out. You wont notice it until you have to make tight turns, u-turns, etc

Leave the thing in, just shine it up. There is no reason not to have it, even if you trying to make the engine bay clean. why would you want have to hurt yourself when turning your car and parking. that's just my two cents people seem to love driving without it, but i personally hate not having it. I think its just up to preference.

Hey if your wanting it gone, you could put a rack on your car from a Cx and it'll still be easy to turn, but the power steering will be gone but feel like its there... Or you can just plug your rack and it won't be hard to turn either, i've done both ..

CX rack is the key, but not in your short amount of time! I prefer the non-PS rack, because of the feedback that it gives...maybe it's minor, but my next civic will definitely be setup like this.

I own one with PS and one without. Having no PS is not that much different or difficult to use.
