Tires are new, discs and brakes and calipers look to be in great shape.
Exhaust is a bit ragged looking but sounds great. Maybe just needs to be polished up.
Headers sound nice and the car runs very well.
I do plan to keep the stock air box but drop a k&n filter in next week.
I’ve got 67k on it.
What would be something that you would do first in my situation?
I was thinking an upgraded clutch and flywheel, or maybe new fuel pump or fuel injectors.
Obviously I will be changing all fluids in the next month as I always have done when buying a used vehicle.
I’m sure I am overlooking something which is why I’m here picking the brains of the great FT86 community.

Welp, Sur, an old saying comes to mind - "if it ain't broke don't fix it". -
Another saying "If you have to ask what mods you want/need - you don't need any" (I just made that up -
).
Seriously, is/was your car under the valve spring recall? If so, has it been done? Or you have decided not to have it done?
Has the TOB been replaced with the new/improved one? If not, that would be a good preventative maintenance thing to do.
I'd suggest you leave the fuel pump and injectors be, if they are working OK.
Polishing the exhaust?
How much time do you and your friends spend laying under your car looking at the exhaust?
If your car has "summer" tires on it and you plan on driving it during the winter, you may wish to save up for some "all-season" tires for next winter.
Now, is the time to plan some road trips. After the passes clear, I suggest you take a spin around the "North Cascades Loop".
