Default new guy here, looking to make progress with my never ending build.

Hello! My name is Aaron, and I've been through enough with my Miata, as I'm sure most of us have.
I'm always looking / saving for that next thing to further push my car or increase my personal liking in my never ending project!

currently having a turbo / oil pressure issue, gonna try and figure out how / where to post about that shortly!

@joe morreale is in Sebring with a MKturbo NB2. You should shoot him a message and see if you could check his car out sometime. Seeing what yours could be should help you with the decision.

I've done the back and forth on C5 vs turbo Miata thing and always end up back in a miata. Its the cheap consumables and aftermarket support that keep me coming back, but everyone has different preferences.
