from a newb who has lurked here and in the drifting section for the last couple years, I can say that you need to start with amatuer events to get seat time in. going straight to big events you will be at a disadvantage from the sounds of your drifting experience. everyone in the drift section will tell you: go drive. you have the main mods set (coils, hp is great, seats, cage). I have an na with psm coils and 2.5" exhaust. even before I got those people told me to just go drive until I felt I needed mods to exceed my current limits.
important thing overlooked here (you should post in the drift section for info too since thats where a lot more knowledge can be found): modded knuckles. you are at a disadvantage to the s chassis crowd (240's, s13, etc) when it comes to stock steering angle. you're setting up your car to run with the big boys so get some knuckles to get a lot for angle. you'll need them to compensate for the FC's poor OEM angle. Justin pawlak (formula d drifter) has a shop called hotline in cali that sells some good knuckles. Parts shop max and driftspeed also sell some. driftspeed thread:

Try here for help with your emanage. maybe someone can help you with it (no emanage subforum though):https://www.rx7club.com/engine-management-forum-37/

No offense but other then safety equipment, I think your car is already built above what you need once you get your EMS set to go. my .02 trying to be halpful here

I appreciate the feedback - Steering angle is literally the next thing on my list (I have a giant list on my shop wall). I began this thread being a bit modest about my drifting experience/abilities in an attempt to get as much info as possible. I have been drifting for approx. 7 years - only the last 4 in moderate events in the NW and beyond. The fc chassis was my choice because of it's balance - ie difficult to break loose then sometimes violent oversteer - it suits my style of driving. Inertia driven drifting is where my talent lies. Anyways, I really do appreciate the information; I was hoping to find a local place to fab my toe/knuckle parts, but if I come up dry, I will certainly use the link you provided. Now, if only there were a tuner that would come within 100km of a rotary with a Greddy system... hmmmmm...
