Oil pressure tee, sensor, and feed line.

So. There I was racing around the local track. My buddy Ben had it to himself for an hour on a Saturday and had invited me and my wife to come along. Sharka’s inaugural turbo track day. Woo! Turbo + lots of open race track!

There’s a ton of pages dealing with Miata soft top replacement, but not much on how to make a car look good with no soft top whatsoever.
