obviously bone stock. (except guage pod) gauges are on the way, as well as a turbo timer. Next "mods" will likely be radiator, downpipe, and a complete hose job.

Not the company
Looks like a nice car, and those mods will def. help you out in the long run.
Listen to wan though...and don't buy a turbo timer, you don't actually need one. There are a few threads about this, but sorry i'm too lazy to look them up now for you.

turbo timers are a waste of money
Ive read the threads on this, and for the price I believe its worth it. mazda recommends a cooldown period, and I think this is a cheap easy way to ensure that happens. whether or not I am in a hurry.
there is 73k on the clock, and I believe that the 93 touring models did not come with a spoiler from the factory. I will probably put the stock r1 spoiler on though...
contradictory imho.. congrats on the ride..

Ah, Silver FDs'. Those were the days. Oh well, nice car. How many miles are on it?
Touring models came without a rear spoiler. However, it was available as a dealer-installed option for every model.

Take care of her.

So it's not that hard to avoid hard boosting the last mile before you park it, and even if you don't avoid it I think on the street it's very rare that such circumstances would arise. On a track, you aren't leaving the car so you can let it idle 'manually'.
In any case, the money is much better spent elsewhere, on, say, all new OEM coolant hoses and radiator caps.
