Decent engine management (Megasquirt with wideband O2) 400-800 (depends on DIY, PnP, etc)
2.5" Downpipe (I paid...150 for my racing mazda, plus 35 for a flex joint)
Exhaust (I paid 125 for my mandrel 2.5")
injectors (160 in 550cc, freshly cleaned)
custom fmic (less than 200 bucks in mine...used is sick)
And you can make 100 more HP easy.
Go for it! I just wish mine ran! lol :(

I got a pretty sweet deal...lucked out, although I spent forever looking for one, got so sick and tire of looking. Was regretting not buying the turbo one lol...wasted a lot of time. You're right most people were demanding so much money for it. some guy is still posting a 91 for 4500 or 5000 on cl lol
91 with hard top 140k. Racing beat, sways, adjustable links, springs, koni's struts, racing beat wing(dont' really care for), front and rear braces, set of rota GT3's 15x7 with pretty worn azenis, headers, exhaust, momo steering wheel. Pretty long list. It was a weird deal, but it pulled through.
The owner just spent like 1200 on new timing belt, water pump, seals, headgasket, radiator, cuz it overheated, after it's fixed, it seems fine. and it came with the following parts. He didn't even list all this good stuff on the ad, he wasn't really familiar with the car.
for 1700
But it's not the prettiest car though, paint peeling a lot, and the guy had put a lot of white stickers on there to cover it up.

Yea there were some people asking way too much out there. Sounds like you got a good deal. More than half the stuff you listed is on my list of stuff to buy.
Yeah the owner really dropped the price. that's why I went out to look at it.
