Polyurethane bushings
Tein SS Coilovers
Hotchkis Street Sway Bars
Whatever ebay intake most closely resembles the name brand with the best gains and doesn't pull air from under the car. Its a tube with a filter, I don't need to pay $200+ for it.
PPE Engineering EL Headers (assuming they make one)
The rest of the exhaust I'll probably fabricate myself until I decide to go for Titanium for more weight savings.
Stand alone CPU so I can actually tune it.
Wheels: depends on what I like that's reasonably priced and under 18lbs that will fit this car
Tires: Falken Ziex512 or g-Force T/A KDW 2
Adjustable camber links/bolts. No sense in blowing through tires just because the car was dropped an inch.
Shorter tranny gears.
Short Shifter
Slotted Brake rotors
Goodridge Steel brakelines
EBC Yellowstuff Brake pads

Stage 3: Weight savings
Rip out rear seats
Swap out fronts for reclining racing buckets
Rip out interior paneling and sound deadening material
Relocate battery to behind passenger seat
Carbon Fiber Fenders, trunk, hood, roof, doors(maybe), and body kit (depending on if carbon fiber bumpers are actually lighter than stock or not)
Carbon/titanium Drive shaft.
Fidanza lightweight Flywheel
Southbend Clutch


Stage 4: More Powah!
Cams
Titanium valves, springs, and retainers
Bore out the block to a higher displacement (ultimately depends on how much it can safely be bored) with pistons to match.
Connecting rods, depending on how beefy the originals are
Upgrade bearings
High Flow intake manifold
Port and polish the heads
Rotrex C30-94
Upgrade fuel pump?
Front mount intercooler
Transmission and oil coolers
Dual Core aluminum radiator
Rip out AC (maybe)

Other things that may get added if needed:
Carbon Fiber front splitter
APC GTC-200 Adjustable Wing
Strut tower bars
Rear Diffuser
Big brake kit

let me know how that all goes for you...

also, there are MUCH better coilovers out there, not to mention brake pads, tires, etc... and instead of changing the ratios in the transmission, just get a new ring and pinion.
