   Howdy.  I was wondering about a few things.  

   Does the Miata use an engine block from the Mazda 323?  
   
   Is the transmission really derived from an RX-7?
   
   There's been recent talk on the Miata net about sticking brakes and
rusting rotors.  My car's rotors rust after big rainstorms and the car
sits for a few days (I take a shuttle bus to school).  Is that rust slowly
compromising the strength and thickness of my rotors or is the rust
insignificant?  

   Final question:  Is the '94 Miata's engine fundamentally different 
than a '90-'93 Miata's or just small differences?  

Thanks.
