Reality sucks.
It shouldn't take you more than a long afternoon to return it to stock if you've got the stock parts. Leave the shocks and coilovers on it to make it more attractive to ricer/drizzfter types and pull the rest. That's the only way to come out ahead financially for minimum effort. In order to sell that car for that price, somebody will need to pay you cash because a bank will not cut a loan for that much. The economy is in the ******* and X-mas is in 2 weeks and nobody has that kind of cash.
Additionally, advertising that "you can push it up to 25psi" and "1.8 transmission" is an immediate red-flag to people who know Miata's. A stock motor would last about 3 seconds at that boost and there is no difference between 1.6 and 1.8 tranny's. It just puts a little hint of "this guys doesn't know his ****" in the back of a buyers mind.
