Welcome to the group. I'm a big fan of just drive the car. If you think you need to do something do it based in need not on other's opinions. You see, in my opinion they don't need anything.

. I second that . Spend the money on taking your girlfriend (etc) on a cross country trip and stay in a decent hotel.... But.. just for fun... Get some RED safety belts ... or yellow... and install a good laser / radar detector .. you might need it..

I second de events. Once you have lived with it for a while, then we can make suggestions. One of my favorites, is gt-delete. Gives me more room to move my right leg. Jb

I'll 3rd the tracking comments. This is the best way to learn your car and your capabilities. Once you figure the car out go for suspension, short shift kits, racing seats........for now I would check some exhaust out FisterD or Fabspeed and if you want paint your calipers. BTW theses cars are great to DIY from oil changes to rotors and .....
