loaded question, what to you want the car to be? Drift? Drag? autoX? daily driver? or just wicked fast?

I suspect you would be better off doing some reading and searching. You will find many options.

Im taking it that its your dailt driver/weekend "racer." Id suggest next mod would be something like suspension. Racing beat has a nice package: springs, bars, and struts.

dude, i had that exact same setup once! I found good mufflers gave a noticeable power boost... and then i bridgeported it :-D
One thing to consider is your wheels and tires. A friend of mine has an rx with 18's and 275/25 18's on the back so he can get traction. I'm pretty sure he can't do a burnout LoL (and he has the hookups for cheap tires) but its almost as nice to NOT second gear scratch as it is cool TO second gear scratch :-D
I'd go with 245/40 17's if you can afford um, otherwise 225/40 17's.

I wouldnt worry about upgrading your tires/rims untill you start having problems with traction.

Im still leaning towards suspension. It will make it feel tons faster. Quicker off the line, etc.
