Get the bolt ons out of the way and a tune. You may need a clutch soon after that though.

Take care of all of the basic bolt ons, bushings, tune, and possibly wheels/tires. You weren't very specific as to what your goals are, but maybe an idea of what you'd like to do with the car will help.

tune, clutch, blinker fluid & blow up doll.

haha, kidding...
exhaust, turbo back setup - probably set you back around 1000-1500.
intercooler pipes - 550 from nisei
tune - 400-700
save the rest for clutch, tires whatever
