If you have any money left (doubtful), save it for a rainy day.
Good info here. Don't buy the M2 intake if you want to get the most out of your $900.

I also recommend the radiator upgrade. My 93' has 86,xxx on it and one of the plastic endtanks on the radiator cracked two weeks ago on the night of my 21st birthday. My car could only hold enough coolant to drive about ten miles. I went ahead and purchased the fluidyne from Rx7store for $460 with shipping included.

Some people dont have problems with their radiators, but with plastic parts being used so much on the cooling system (radiator, AST, intercooler) i think it would be wise to include the radiator in that $900 so you wouldn't have to worry about it creeping up on you later, especially when you might not have an extra $500 to spend.

Just for everyones info, the local Mazda dealer wanted to charge me $970 for parts and labor to put in another stock radiator. Thats insane for a piece of crap.
