This is also why it did work over 1200 rpm. With the increased rpm of the pump pulley, the thinner fluid would still function.

This is a common problem on early Miatas when running gymkanas. All the turning heats the fluid and the power steering goes out for a second. Not a big deal at all.

OP... the car is fine, you dont need to tell them jack. Return the car and walk away. I cant believe all the holier then thou comments in here.

Maybe that's because some of us know what it's like to respect other peoples property and not be a lair. Just because you rent a car doesn't mean you have the right to beat the hell out of it.

some day there will be a thinning of this very shallow gene pool and, thankfully, most of us won't be able to view the photos.

wow, mate invincibility with lack of respect for property and the complete failure of the educational system to teach appropriate spelling and grammar and this is what we get....

welcome to the example of how and why the State of New York is going broke.
