Since you asked... hehe...

I picked up early in the fall so I haven't logged too many miles with it, but this is what she's got:

1.6L DOHC B6ZE engine
t3/t4 hybrid turbo, 50-trim wheel as she sits, will probably get a 60-trim wheel when it's rebuilt (not happening during build season )
~24"x6"x2" FMIC
550cc/min RX7 injectors
MegaSquirt ECU with EBC (needs the solenoid replaced, running 7-10psi on mecanical bypass at the moment)
MS also gets the redline up to ~7800RPM
De-powered steering rack
AC deleted
No soft top, hard top though! (hard top is lighter)
Clutch-type LSD from an RX-7
Hard-dog SCCA roll bar
KYB-AGX 8-way adjustable shocks w/ sleeved coilovers, 400lb-in springs in the front, 300lb-in in the rear (STIFF!) riding on NB mounts (more travel)
stiffer, and adjustable, front sway bar, handles very neutrally at the moment
rolling on Kazera KZM spec miata wheels with S.Drive tires on the street, I have a set of Toyo Proxes for the next auto-x season

It needs a little engine tuning a new boost control solenoid to get full potential out of the engine, and a real turbo-back exhaust system so my ears don't bleed. That's my spring project.

I also have a 1.8L engine waiting for a rebuild and a ported head when the 1.6L goes pop
