1990 Miata: One Wheel Of Fury

That is the fuel pump relay. It resides in a pita to reach place up in the dash. By pita I mean it took me a good bit of ingenuity to get the bolt holding it in loose and removed. I found that 2 of the 4 wires on the fuel pump plug are supposed to read 12 volts with the ignition on and they weren't so I knew this had to be the problem. I replaced the fuel pump for good measure while I was there. Big shout out to Jake for helping me out on her as well. My only concern is that when we replaced the pump we stripped the screw so I drilled it out and used a screw and nut, however idk if they are stainless or not. Considering going back in just to put a stainless on it to assure no problems but I can't decide if its worth the time or not.

I took her and got her inspected today, she passed with flying colors. I have full coverage on her and she is now registered so I will be tooling around for the rest of spring break in her.

I also got these for a steal...



So next up, strip/paint k1's, order lug nuts and tires, replace top, autocross the hell out of her.



A parting picture of where she sits, warm and dry in the garage.
