Let's learn from our mistakes and move on.

thanks Hummer
ok heres what happened
it was rainy and there was not traction, i wasnt burning out for ten minutes but half a turn on a wet surface
it took around .5 seconds to burn the power steering, IF IT REALLY IS THE PS MOTOR, i still dont know
it was similar to making a u turn ... thats it
how was it my fault??

Irrespective of what he was doing, I think it is good that he posted on the board that locking the steering full tilt can damage the power steering. Maybe the circumstances of failure are particular and special, but it can happen is the point.
And after all, isn't the point of this board to share knowledge ??

So what was the outcome of your donuts? YOu may call him a moron, but all of you know what donuts are because everyone's done one at one time or another, so give it a rest.
Anyway, did you look to see if your powerstearing belt blew off? I have seen many accounts on other cars where a slight alighnment problem can slip the stearing belt off, and poof goes your PS.
Anyway hopefully you have taken the time to atleast look under the hood and see what's up.

You would think the Evo could take a little abuse. A few donuts around a parking lot should be a joke for the Evo. It aint made of crystal.
If my Evo crapped out on me for just that I would be pissed too.
Plus if the Evo can't handle a few 6k drops then that's just sad.

...I for one think that the evo should be able to sustain full lock for a certain amount of full revs....it's a rally car!!!!
I do not however think it is cool to pull doughnuts in this car to impress others no matter what the surface condition...
my $2.00

I have seen numerous "I did this, and now this is broke" posts. Never have I seen "I was just driving down the road, and now this is broke." Cranking the wheel all the way and dropping the clutch at 6100 rpms does not sound smart. I consider my self an aggressive driver, and I don't think I'd do a 6100 clutch drop with the wheel cranked--especially on my Evo when I get it (watin' til '04). If you're going to do that, I think you should expect things not to last too long.
BTW, the "idiot proof" option comment was hilarious. One question though, is that factory installed or done by the dealer?

Our fellow member MAXI has been doing donuts for years with his Evo 5, and all that failed was a front driveshaft once. He's been doing so many donuts that there is actually an avatar that some people use with his white Evo 5 doing donuts
The thing is, petem seems to not have done them right; he should have flicked the car in gear (1st gear), possibly helped a little with the handbrake, get it to slide and then floor it with the steering turned one way, but not all the way, just about 80-90%. It wasnt good to launch the car at these high rpms, from a stand, especially with the steering wheel locked on one side, but that is not a reason for all these insults!
