I think it is time to create a part out thread
So I've been driving a 2000 Miata for a little more then half a year now. I have to say, it's a bit different from NA Miatas.
What has been done so far:
Suspension:
Drivetrain / Brakes / Wheels / Tires:
Interior / Exterior / Safety:
Turbo (collecting parts):
I should mention that I'm changing my suspension setup a little bit. SD is sending me a new set of Bilsteins valved to 400/350 and slightly changed curve to accomodate for shitty pavement I have to drive on every day.
What has been done so far:
Suspension:
- SD revalved Bilsteins $800
- 550 lbs/in front springs, 400 lbs/in rear springs $200
- FCM bump stops $100
- ISC top hats (yet to install front ones) $75
- RB hollow front sway bar $100
- ES bushings all around, except for differential $100
- New tie rods (inner and outer) $50
- BF frame rails $100
Drivetrain / Brakes / Wheels / Tires:
- '01 6 speed $800
- 4.10:1 Type 1 Torsen $600
- F1 Racing clutch and flywheel (yeah, I know...) $200
- New hubs & bearings all around (yet to install) $100
- "JDM" motor (installed by previous owner) $800
- FM 4-wheel big brake kit (should be here by Thursday or Friday) $900
- Braided clutch line $750
- TSE brake cooling kit $100
- 15" x 7" XXR w/ 205/50/15 Falken 912's (daily driving) $800
- 15" x 8" second generation 6UL's (will be used for daily driving soon) $800
- 225/45/15 RS3's (new daily tires) $300
- 205/50/15 NT01's (track tires) $400
Interior / Exterior / Safety:
- Hard top
- Resprayed the car GM silver (looks slightly better in my opinion and it was decently inexpensive)
- Blackbird Fabworx 4-point single diagonal roll bar
- "Bride" driver seat
- 3" 6-point harness
- Planted seat base and side mounts
Turbo (collecting parts):
- Chinacharger
- 530cc EV14 injectors
- DIY manifold / down pipe (still unsure about this)

Dammit! Was hoping to get in on some partout goodness 
Do the MazdaComp diff bushings. I installed them when I put in my Torsen and they helped A LOT over the stock ones and are no where near uncomfortable for a DD.
