I assume you have already replaced the intake and chucked on a set of extractors......

As KD said, ignition leads ? Iridium sparkies would be nice too.
Ceramic coat in and out of your extractors ? It helps, despite what ppl say (well in my experience, it was a very noticable difference).

Fuel pressure regulator, sticky rubber, bushes, braided lines ?
And the obligatory volt stabiliser and earthing kits ? Heheh :P

From that, i'd say you'd have hit the end of the n/a path pretty much. Just small tweaks or experiment with cams and timing etc from there.

Oh you mentioned a new custom fab intake pipe, and i gather from your other threads you have the RPW insulator gasket. May as well find a material to wrap around your intake pipe to deflect heat and avoid heatsoak.

Individual throttle bodies...hrmm i don't think it'd fit in an FTO with standard bonnet, let alone a mirage (we call 'em that here). But heck, if you manage it...Nice heh!
(ITBs boost high end a bit but aren't too great for low end i think, you generally find these on high revving n/a engines designed for power at the top i.e. racing applications. Have a look at the toyota 4a-ge blacktop or silvertop for an idea on ITBs. Some modded mx-5 engines run ITBs too.)

Get your extractors ceramic coated in and out :D

Sounds like you've hit the end of the n/a path, if you still want a decently streetable car :P

i was going to get itbs :P but rpw didnt want to build them cos they said there for drag cars????

ive put the order in for the extractors ceramic coated and ignition leads near 350 ish gbp £ i think for it all with shipping ect (i have to say i love the exchange rate from aus :D ) the rest of my exhaust will cost £650 in stainless
