Thanks for that awesome run down Austin. I had thought many times over about building a spec miata, then decided I wanted a street car for flexibility in a build.
However, at this point I've decided to keep my bike for summer commutes rather than replacing it with another car. Instead, I'm throwing a bunch of parts at the STi, hopefully a good mix to make this car fun as hell.
One of these days I'll do a RWD vert build, but maybe at that point I'll be able to swing an S2k
