with $30K I would strip everything out of the car. Then I'd pick up the Amemiya FC2000 kit and hood, and have the chassis repainted championship white. Next the 20B would be dropped in with no A/C or P/S. The 20B would be well tuned up to around 400 RWHP. As for the interior, it would be S5 black with manual seatbelts and Recaro adjustable seats for both passenger and driver. Boost, EGT, Oil pressure, and Fuel pressure gauges, the last three mounted where the stereo used to be. Power windows removed for manual ones and sunroof converted to glass moonroof. 3.5" downpipe to a 3.5" midpipe to an Apex'i GT spec exhaust. As for suspension: front and rear cusco STBs and swaybars. Tein RA dampers all around. 17x8 and 17x9 Advan Oni or Work Meister wheels with Toyo rubber.
I think that just about does it, and I'll bet it could be done for about $30K.

$30,000 + my GXL
If I didn't have to keep my 2nd gen, I'd put minimal cash into it. Then sell the car. Then I would buy one of these:
http://www.pettitracing.com/Frames/html/Banzai.html
----------------------
If I wanted to blow $30k on my car, then I'd probably do the following:
-Swap in an N/A Renesis
-Upgrade the Rear End to have 4.30 gears and a better LSD:
http://www.rx7.com/cgi-local/2catalog.cgi?cat=2
-Do a complete brake upgrade to high temperature brake fluid and ceramic pads (already have slotted rotors, and stainless lines are on the way).
http://www.raybestos.com
-Add a stronger clutch
http://www.rx7.com/cgi-local/2catalog.cgi?cat=2
-Upgrade the radiator
http://www.rx7.com/cgi-local/2catalog.cgi?cat=17
-Get KYB 8-way externally adjustable struts with a quality set of springs:
http://www.victoriabritish.com
-Repaint the car to a perfectly original Harbor Blue color with a completely stock exterior.
-Replace miscellaneous aging mechanical, electrical, and interior parts
-Put on some 215/45-17 Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position tires
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compar...er=Bridgestone
-Find some sucker to race for cash. (What do you have? Oh, its just an old N/A RX-7. See how tiny the engine is? It's only 80 cubic inches.)
-Get out of town before that sucker found my @$$
-Alternative racing option: Try to run the car in Solo II competition with some Hoosier slicks.
---------------------
I suppose a more practical answer is:
Buy the girlfriend a new RX-8, so she can't complain when I spend time and $ on my RX-7...

From what I hear a 3 rotor can do 600hp reliably, this true?

the reason why I only said 400 WHP is that it would hardly be stressing the engine at all... it would run reliably for a very long time I'd reckon, all the while putting out some crazy torque
Okay, okay. Maybe I'd shoot for 500 WHP

no a cyclone intake does not change the valve timing or lift like vtec all it is is just different runners that are open when the engine is not making boost. when it starts making boost it opens up the other set. it just helps with low end torque which dsms have a real problem with

I know I'm gonna get flamed for this from the girls, but here goes: It doesn't take $30,000 to get two girls, hell it doesn't take $30, got alcohol?
