Have about $2k I'd like to spend on the RX7
The car is already converted to non sequential twins and has all the bolt-ons and most of the reliability mods. Koyo radiator, aluminum ast tank, fan switch, turbo timer, silicon hoses.
With that in mind, and knowing that I'm not really intersted in that many more performance parts, what would that $2k be well spent on? I've seen a lot of stuff like the differential bar and wondered if stuff like this was worth the money or a waste. Also, my rx7 is my daily driver.

Besides reliability mods, i.e. exhaust, ecu, intake, fuel upgrades, radiator, etc..., then nothing. You could some gauges, which you should have already.
You could get a front mount intercooler. Or, you could save your money for single turbo kit. Better yet, save your money so when you blow your motor, you'll have money for a new one.

Get a water temp and boost guage. Also a air/fuel system like the Innovate. It will save your motor and lots of $$$ down the road. Also if you haven't already I would upgrade your ecu (chiped or pfc) and get a upgrade fuel pump and boost controller. You could gain alot of power by safely uping your boost.

Already have pfc and a boost gauge. I'm looking to get a new oil pressure gauge and egt gauge. I know the thread title sounds like something the typical ricer would make. Just trying to get some ideas on where to go with the car now.

Hmmm, $2k to spend? How about tightening up that loose nut behind the wheel?
Talk to some local clubs about High Performance Driving School (track weekends). Get out and track the car. Let it stretch out its legs. See http://www.mazdadrivers.com/ for an example.
Save the rest for maintanence and comsumable items (tires, pads, fluids, filters, etc...).
Good luck,

I'm thinking about getting the Greddy 2 piece intercooler piping kit and Greddy intake elbow with the BOV flange so I can mount an aftermarket BOV. What would I do about the stock BOV though?

yes... for a daily driver... i would stay away from the tranny brace and certain coilovers.
the tranny brace alone will rattle you to death.
sounds like you have a nice car now...
DON"T SPEND IT JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE IT LYING AROUND
