2.0 doesnt work. too big of a bore without lots of exttra work/sleeving/ ect. if at all possible. So overall not quite worth it.

So yeah, get dat bitch it.
rewire my wideband again...
tune the **** out of it, put the 1.8 in, tune the **** out of it again.
Drive the **** out of it in dec
other small general wiring stuff, seq injection, spark, shift light, LC tablesw for ebc (wayyyyy down the road but still good to wire now) ect.

hmmm, what else. thats really about it, maybe a bigger swaybar if one ever pops up for sale.

I wanted to upgrade my cooling, to a peace of mind next autox season, since I plan on being active during the heat waves (i got into it after it already cooled down this season). Unfortunately my choice of mishimoto parts results in some fitment issues + I got a lemon core, so I'm waiting on replacements now.

I want to get the miata roadster short shifter, but can't decide if I want the stock height for looks + better shifting, or the angled tall version for ugly but much better shifting. Also going to replace my type-r style **** with a ball style one, haven't decided which. I like the extra weight of my blox type-r, but I can't get used to the shape.

I'm also waiting on my reverant built ms2, want to get tuning sorted out this winter. Raised redline to improve gearing is high on my priority. Then more linear boost delivery, and lastly a little more power. Found someone willing to e-tune me for a really good rate.

Lastly, when spring is close enough, I'll finally get some real rubber to mount to the 15x9+36 wheels I have sitting around.

If my budget entails, around spring time, I'd also like to buckets, harness bar, and harnesses. If not, I'll just continue to use whatever muscles are free to brace myself...
