Damn, looks like an MS orgy at Brainy's place. He'll teach, you transfer parts. 
So far looks like there will be some much quicker miatas rolling around IF these list are gone by summer time.

Freshen up my 1.8 engine and install
Install Godspeed radiator w/ new fans
Rebuild and install T3/T04E - 50 trim
Install Tial wastegate
Install Begi S5 downpipe/manifold
All new turbo hardware, lines, couplers, etc.
New soft top
Install my roll bar
Sell a bunch of my old parts
If I get all that done, then I'll start prepping for a fresh paint job.

First track date is in May, things I'd like to be done:
-Get MS tuned and running right. (Maybe get it on a dyno and use the autotune feature)
-225-45 rs2's
-Replace the front (2) S.S. brake lines
-either get napa 1.6 rotors or upgrade to 1.8 fronts.
-flush, run blue ate brake fluid
-flush radiator
-SA2005 helmet, closed face
-track time
later on in the year...
-upgrade Jim B's intercooler piping kit
-prep/paint

Install new T3 turbo setup.
Install GS radiator and coolant reroute.
Install Oil temp gauge
Install FM swaybars leaning in the corner
Find some real suspension to swap into the car once i have the money to do so.
Hit up the autocross in March in Nashville. Hopefully make an HPDE at road atlanta this year sometime.

6. Cams
7. Springs
8. GM HEI conversion
9. Some big ole beefy DR's or slicks
10. Some nice wide light wheels.
11. Suspension.
12. Paint other than DIY spray can job.
13. Make some drag strip passes.

-Re-mount and rewire gauges (and replace 20psi boost gauge with 30psi boost gauge, anticipating the future)
-COPs, mabye later in the spring
-If someone comes through with MS-controlled progressive WI, I'll do that and a retune as well.
