not to be a dick but whats the point of this thread? it honestly just sounds like a wish list......
maybe state what the current state of your car is in? more background info rather then just telling us all the stuff you want? possibly some pics?
and new carpet does not cost 1200.

You looking for savings?
1. Get a turbo kit instead of piecing it together—you'll pay more than you list for all the "little stuff"
2. Save $1k on StopTech brakes
3. Lose the CF/AL interior junk, and pick up some nice used seats
4. Lose the CF doors unless if this is a street car
5. You still need a clutch.

Bosch and Denso Fuel pumps > Walbro. Invest more in fuel pumps.
All the engine work, and stock exhaust and downpipe? Throw a full titanium exhaust and a downpipe in. Thats another 2000 dollars.
What about engine management and vital signs monitoring? 1000-3000 dollars for good engine management + tuning (Power FC, HKS V PRO, Motec, AEM).
You need a nice twin plate or triple plate clutch if you plan on beating on more than 450-500 horsepower consistently. Thats another 1000 dollars.
What about oil coolers? Add 900 for twin setrab 25 rows.
Headlights will cost over 1300 for "aggressive headlights" that are not crappy EVO-Rs.
Suspension is there, but what about control arm, roll center, tie rod and other modifications you need to REALLY improve the car as a whole? Add cash for that. I am sure you will want more than Hipermax RSs for a racecar. Shoot for some Hipermax III Circuit suspension with some custom Swift springs (spring rates). Nothing but the best right?
What about wheels? Aggressive fitting wheels for good looks and running wide *** tires. 3500 dollars + Nice tires (1000 dollars).
If you are going to really track the car and use all the body panels, you will need a full cage with door bars as this is probably a 14 year old chassis regardless of miles and aftermarket doors wont protect you in a crash. If it's just a street car, then ignore and use stock doors and no need for cage.
Gonna do carbon hatch? What about dry carbon drop vent hood to even it out and cool the engine bay?
You forgot to add 800 bucks - 1000 dollars for a good 1.5 to 2 way LSD if you are going to race the car. Either way you need a backup right?
In other words, it's going to take more than 35,000. Try 45,000 - 50,000 + for a full all out build. Always round up for parts and builds. Never down. But, if you are serious and actually focus and get stuff knocked away and not waste money on other crap. You can get it done in 4 years or so depending on your income.
I am not talking down, just telling you to go for it, if you really want to do a crazy *** build. Stuff for Rx7s is always more expensive than GT-Rs so i am sure you could get it done much faster than the stuff i have planned for my car.

I am a loser, so i sat down and priced exactly what it will take to get my car where i want it in 5 years. I filled up 3-4 sheets of paper with scribble and a lot of numbers.
It wasn't pretty and it was more than 35,000
