I'd be in for the strut tower brace. The Feds just paid my Miata build(s) (building a pair of 90's)

+1 on Strut tower triangular brace!

Subframe bracing is also needed and could be done cheap.

250 if it includes the intercooler, 200 shipped just for the pipes.

Actually I was talking about a 4:1 header style manifold. But hell, if you made a CHEAP 1.8 log manifold like the one in the picture, or some variation of it, it would sell. There are a few cheap 1.6 manifolds out there. Not so for a 1.8. Even if it's not the best performance wise, if it's stout and cheap, it will sell.

+1 for a master cylinder brace.

+3 on the master cyl brace. You could easily incorporate it into the strut bar.
