dont buy anything on ebay. Just general modding rule of thumb haha.
Decide what you want to do with your car, if you want to go for show or go, or both, come up with some kind of strategy and stick to it and always remember you get what you pay for.

Mod the driver- go to the track and enjoy the car for what is was designed to do. Then when you discover it's weak points ( not like there are many) start modding!!

panel filter - highflow cat - exhaust /what you like to looking at/ - new solenoid valve - tune.
This set up should be good for a long time, and will make your car feel completely different. Also from there you will have a better view which way you would like to go for a next step.

most people suggest speed in situations like this. and although its a good way to go, people who get eibach lowering springs rave about what it does for the car. plus its not an expensive or hard mod to do.

I don't know if this will help or confuse you.. I'm not 100% set on what I'm planning on doing but so far I think I plan to pick up some snow tires then put 1000 miles on the car and:
e85, injectors (I don't know which yet), fuel pump walbro
manual boost control
uicp 1 piece nisei
ams downpipe
tbe
test pipe
cosworth drop in filter (I think.. or full intake.. gotta research more)
dyno tune
boost gauge and a/f gauge (I think.. gotta research this one more)
I might be missing something.. so, to answer your question from another newbs view, I'd do the above, but I also wouldn't listen to me because there's more experience people here

I dont see the point or the fun in that. Why drop all that cash and get all that done at once. Modding is fun in stages I think, over time.
