Howdy
Hi there, got my 2002 Miata SE back in September. It was lightly modified with only a crappy exhaust and an AEM intake. When I got the car, I didn't even know how to row a stick.
I plan on working on suspension first (or maybe getting rid of that POS exhaust) before applying turbo. Thought this would be a good place to read up for it.
Completely
in terms of mechanical knowledge, but I'm eager to learn. Don't have lofty goals of reaching 400whp or something; 180whp will do me fine. Gotta at least beat out them Caravans!

Thanks for the welcomes. Just browsing the forums a bit makes me nervous that I am completely out of my depth. Lots of reading to do!
The first thing I have to do is to determine what, if anything, done by the previous owner I should keep. The car currently drones quite a bit even at cruising speeds. I'll probably replace it, as it is hanging poorly on the car as well.
[Edit]As for the location of the washer reservoir, I've been led to believe it's the stock location for Canadian cars. I guess that'll have to move?
