next upgrade???
 
ok folks I am about doing hp upgrades till I go single, so, what is the next logical step?

1993 R1
current mods:
pfs smic, intake, & dp
apexi pfc
rb cat back
efini y-pipe
blitz boost & temp gauges
small stereo upgrade

my end goal:
single trubo with M2 med/large smic
17 or 18 inch wheels ??? wheels
replace springs/struts - coilovers?
99 j-spec front end & wing and a vented hood

I think I will wait to do the body parts till I am ready to repaint my car (don't have that sorta cash atm)
do I need/should I have a boost controller?
how bout a b&m short shifter?
should I buy Konis & Eibach springs, or are true coilovers worth the extra expense?
I have no idea what wheels I want, so I think that should wait as I don't want to buy the wrong ones.

any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I guess it all depends on what you are going to use your car for- - - racing , track, autoX, or street. It looks like you have all the reliability mods already, As far as suspension, again it is dependent on what you are using the car for. I am strictly street and my suspension setup is Koni yellows with H&R springs. See sig for the rest. By no means am I an expert, but glad to offer you my .02 worth. Good luck!:)

more fuel! 1300cc or 1600 depending on how much boost your planning to run. fuel pump will be nice too.

my car is 90% street use, so would coilovers give me something that konis & spings wouldn't?

I have been told by a VERY reliable souce that I don't need fuel system upgrades with my current performace mods. I was planning on waiting to do all that mess when I go single turbo/large SMIC. is my plan flawed?

No flaw dude. With my previous rx7, I had a single setup and havn't even upgraded the fuel injectors or lines and also not the fuel pump. Some might brand me as usable livestock for doing such a trivial thing ;), but that's just to show you how much some people know and how much some other's don't.
