Having been 16 once, I know you won't listen to me, but being 39 now I can't help but offer advice in a futile attempt to help someone just beginning their life.
Forget about power mods. You're not as good a driver as you believe you are. More power is just more opportunity to break your car or break yourself. But, you can also learn MORE from a car with less power. It takes a better driver to drive a slow car fast than it does a fast car slow.
This is my advice:
Put better tires on the car, and go to every AutoX you can. Seat time is key. The more time you spend in that seat dodging cones, the better you will become.
Feel free to do whatever superficial mods you like (tint, catback, lights, etc.) But don't change anything performance related until you know you need to, not because someone on the internet says you should. Understand how your car behaves, understand WHY it behaves that way, and understand HOW the mod you want will effect the behavior of the car.
When you know your car to that degree, you will be a good driver and on the path to becoming a great driver in the future.
