Weird powersteering question
Well, my friend picked up a RX-7 today and test drove it. We both own S4's. His is a SE and mine is a TII. Anyway, both our cars don't have powersteering, but his is WAY lighter than mine, I'd say mine about 3 times heavier. We both checked the cars and the powersteering pump is gone. So any answers?

the TII came with power steering standard and the SE probably didn't . how many turns is his lock to lock compared to yours? the power steering rack is like 2.4 and the manual is 3.5 or something.

And all SE models came with power steering standard.
So unless he really does not have a SE (and really has a Base which some people confuse with SE models since they both have 4 lug wheels) your suggestion wouldn't work.

Or your manual rack is in bad need of lube
