A pic of me and gkmccready (red Miata #4) in turn 3 on the first lap
My FC (turbo) should hit the dyno some time this week hopefully... but I think the Miata will be the enduro car if I keep doing them. I drove all 4 hours with only fuel stops. Managed 6th of 13 in E3. First ever enduro, first race in the Miata with some decent power and a reasonable weight. I can tell you a cool shirt is worth its weight in gold if you're going for a long stint -- I turned mine on around 10:45am and it helped keep me going until the end. Was nice to finally meet you! |

I can vouch for the fluids coming out of the car; thankfully somebody had spray and wipes at my next pit stop. :-)

I didn't notice the fuel odor in my first stint and my BIL didn't mention it. It didn't drip when we were working on it in the paddock. Still trying to figure out what happened there. :scratch: It was good meeting you as well. We will keep plugging away at sorting the car. Did you get any video from the race? |

Why would the fuel tank build pressure to slam the vent shut?

Found the fuel tank vent ball valve stuck open and spitting fuel.
Does your vent valve look like this? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ABT-TF350-8/ On the male end of that AN fitting you attach a female AN fitting fitted to a hose and vent the tank. Sometimes if you don't run the hose up high enough before venting fuel can move around and up and out the hose. I run my hose up the rear roll cage. |

What do you mean exactly? What type of cell/vent do you have? The ball is held down by gravity, if the car were to turn over then the ball moves with gravity and blocks the vent opening preventing fuel from spilling out in an upside down car.

If anybody is using rear camber adjuster on their second gen and claiming 0 point "simple camber adjustment" Greg has made an official ruling after 2 months of emails. I think I have a 0 point solution I will start working on it next week.
I figure ill do a bunch of chassis stiffening at the same time. Such as tieing the roll cage into the body and filling the frame rails up with foam etc.... |

I decided we will just run the center link and get rid of the outside links. But luckily my car has even camber side to side with just the center link.

Does yours break up from being pig rich near the top end? I had to pull so much fuel out up top to get it to not choke itself with fuel....but we ended up gaining quite a bit of power that way.
