PAdutch's misadventures in Miataland

[PAdutch]

Well long story short, no miata made it to autocross saturday. The wife and I did take the Genesis out and had alot of fun. She is making good progress and the more I drive that car the more I like it and makes me wonder if it would make a good STU car (I think it would).

Black Car -
I thought it needed a steering rack tension adjustment (miatas have an adjuster in the steering rack for gear wear) but that was not the problem. It needs rack mounts and I found out to late to make it right for sunday. That should be the last thing it needs

White Car -
it was still running quite rough when warm at idle, even after a fuel filter change. I was suspicious of the fuel system since it was the only thing remaining from the shell. Last night I opened the tank and found this:


Looks like there is some rust in the tank. I'm going to fix this. Not sure if Ill just scrub it and clean it as best I can or swap a tank (which means dropping the rear subframe). At least I have a target now.
