So due to recently moving in with my girlfriend, my time and funds have shifted significantly, but I s'pose this is my list currently in terms of priority:

1. Brake upgrade - still searching for the right pads, but I found this set of rears on Amazon for $5.87 free 2 day shipping (not sure how they stack up, but couldn't pass up the price)...

Not sure why they're like $13 now...just ordered them yesterday

2. Tires - I currently have General G-MAX AS-03 set but the former owner curbed the fronts pretty hard and actually took a nice 50 cent piece size chunk of rubber out of the side (checked with several tire experts and they assured me it's safe.)

Not a terrible tire, but I can feel where they like to lose grip so I can't corner as aggresively as I would like and they do lose traction at points where a dedicated road tire wouldn't under acceleration. I can make them dance quite a bit, though, which is pretty fun.

3. Exhaust - the slight performance bump would be very welcomed, but I simply cannot stand the lack of engine note...I need some music.

4. CAI - I've built CAI's for my other two vehicles ('09 Wrangler and '91 S-10 which I just put 65K original miles on and my girlfriend's 2005 Hyundai Accent *lolz* but it actually provided a lot more than I anticipated)

5. Who knows...it'll be forced induction...but that's a ways away
It's all going to be about your budget...
Slotted rotors and good pads, since you have the sport brakes on the 40th.
Tires, bang for the buck I like the Hankook V12's, others will disagree, but for the money, not a bad tire.
CNT has a nice exhaust for not a lot of money, I liked it better then the Magnaflow I have on now. Is there better, you bet, but you seem to be a frugal guy.
CAI a few options there, they are all about the same, so which ever you can get the best deal on...

The vendors on here should be able to get you most things you need.
