what mods to do?

Hey guys. I finally sold my other car, so now I finally have some money to put into the FC. I'm so stoked! The question is what mods to do?

First I'm going to get two new tires for the front and get a junkyard tranny since mine has a bad bearing, and get engine and tranny mounts. After that and paying off the old credit card, I should have some money left over.

I'm going to be autocrossing and daily driving, so I was thinking about going for the racing beat suspension package since I'm not made of money and can't afford JIC Magic FLT-A2s or Tein HEs yet. I'd probably get KYB or tokico shocks. Eventually I want a RB header and corksport catback, but the suspension is more important for now. I'd like to get some front and rear STBs, ss brake lines, and slotted rotors at some point as well.

any advice on what I should go for first?

The best mods you should do Is restore It to stock status first. Meaning, repair before modding. Lay out a sound foundation, so you could build on It. I would have saved alot of money If I followed my own advice when I got my FC.

good advice, but if you read my post that is already my plan after the tranny and mounts are done it will be 100% mechanically.
