I would try to plan out exactly what you want to do with the car in the long run. Then start looking at where to go to reach that target. No sense buying stuff and putting it on your car, only to find out later that it isnt appropriate for what you are looking to do long term.

Yeah no use in spending 4g's on parts to take them off cause its not fast enough, and then spending another 5. Decided what you want your car to do for you and try to stick to that. Also decide what area you want to focus on first. Suspension, engine, body,ect.

Just drive the car as it is for a while. Enjoy having the greatest FF car ever produced. Then, once you are sure you have mastered it...

spend some money on driver improvements. HPDS in your area.

Take out the sound system.
Do nothing to it for at least 6 months.
Go autocross it.

If it has not been done yet, tighten the slack in the throttle cable.

Listen to everyone else, plan for the long run, no use in wasting money when it could all be used wisley. In the mean time leatn how to drive your car and turn fast!
