Second on the same sort of mods

with a word of caution.
Stickier tires ( even a 225) will make the car seem less darty and "fun" and make the lack of power more apparent.

Keep it stock for a bit and let the car tell you what it needs.

Overall there's alot of fun to be had on the car for some simple bolt ons.

Tires
Associated brakes and brake fluid.
Diff and trans fluid
AOS
and finally a oil cooler for serious track usage.

That's about as fun as you can get with it being mostly stock
You could do shocks and springs. I think the sachs dampers with sti associated lowering springs is dynamite. The koni with eibach is a decent set up as well. and then you start looking at sway bars. 20mm front and 18mm rear is about as stiff as you wanna go with skinnier tires.
then the rabbit hole gets deeper from there.
