So, looks like the journal is the thing to do here, So here it is >>

My Build starts with a 93 Miata I snagged about 4 years ago. To date here are the modifications :

1) HKS Turbo, 6lbs, F-Con, no IC, cheapie turbo timer
2) Racing Beat Stainless exhaust, dual outlet
3) Chaparral Wheels, gunmetal
4) 1.8 rear brakes
5) Momo interior jewelry
6) Stainless center console (houses radio + 3 round gauges)
7) Big heavy steel radiator

In Process / on the road map:

> Just picked up a Mega squirt PNP.. followed the 'structions, but I have some oddness.. following the directions, it will only run (with any power) with the angle set to around 40 - If I go to the letter with the timing @ 10 (angle was 65 IIRC ) it has no go power. I suspect all the turbo nonsense coupled with the AFM is the issue. I did grab the GM style stuff, but I need to wait for that...

> Intercooler. Before I start creating bungholes (heh), I need to get all the other plumbing sorted.. I will be ordering a IC this week.. Feel like the ebay IC is the rout I am gonna take.. don't hate :-)

> Complete my 1.8 brake upgrade - From what I gather, all the BBK's are a waste of cash, so I am gonna snag some 1.8 brakes + SS lines and call it a day

> Suspension.. Hector tells me that the new Coil Over kit they are bringing out are the dogs knees .. Stay tuned for that

> Paint.. I got nothing here.. I need to pain the old girl, but sadly that will be last on the list
