Seat time and alignment and air pressure adjustments should be enough to get you learning. Then decide what the car needs. Saying you will do everything that CS allows is just going to eat at your wallet when the biggest restriction is the operator, not the vehicle.

Agreed, but I would say, if you can at all afford it, buy the tires. They are 90% of your prep so you'll have a much, much better idea of what your actual performance is, plus you'll have a lot more fun.
(And the crashbolts depending on how afraid you are of driving without a professional alignment)
..but other than that, I really feel like you're better off NOT buying anything else. Not from a money standpoint, but so you can just concentrate on your driving. I spent 5 years in my WRX chasing handling characteristics, checking tire temps and adjusting dampers that I really think I distracted myself from actually driving. In the ~20 events I've done in the BRZ I've only even checked tire pressures a handful of times and I'm a much better driver for it.
