here's all you need to know about setting up a EF for autox. also figure out which class you want to race in. it doesnt really matter if you are just out there to have fun, but you dont wanna buy parts that will make you uncompetitive in that class you are forced in if you start to like it and start to care.

also, check my coilover FAQ for some other info.

No need to spend that much. Read Tyson's FAQ, pocket half of that cash for seat time, and off you go.

You don't really need any mods to do well at autocross - but if you insist on modding anyway, here's another recommendation for Ground Controls with custom spring rates and Koni Sport dampers. It's the best bang for the buck setup you can buy - and you'll have plenty of cash left over for other things.
