the road race/auto-x forum is a better place to ask this

I'll tell you right now what exactly what you're going to hear in the rrax forum...

Get seat time. Go out and auto-x the car the way it sits until you can use every last bit of its capability, then consider upgrading.

Also, if you really do want to get in to auto-x, you should keep the the car as stock as possible at first to keep yourself in a lower class. It's not going to be a ton of fun if you do a bunch of mods and find yourself in sm (where you most likely won't be competitive).

Start with some good tires and some quality time making sure that the car is 100% mechanically sound. Buy a helmet and enjoy.
