OP,

your list is solid. On the other hand, are you happy with the handling of the car? For me, handling was more impt so I went with sways, followed by c/o, big brakes, Hfc, oil cooler and lastly Nismo exhaust.

My faulty logic tells me that the car in stock form already has enough HP to last me for a while. Don't get me wrong, now that I am done with handling, I would install a supercharger or TT If I have the extra money.

Was it Pirelli who had the motto: "power is nothing without control.". Cheers!

It all depends on what your looking for? If you havn't thought about it yet then IMO entertainment would be low on your list. There have been some good custom installs on this site but they all increase weight a bunch.

A spare tire enclosure with a single 12", change out the stock speakers and add a decent amp with a factory system integration like the Audison bit one signal processor and you would have great sound minimal interior mods, and minimal weight gain. Dynamat the interior greatly reduces road noise but also increases weight by about 20lbs for the entire car.

For what im doing right now which is just weekend fun maybe a track day or two down the road, its handling is great for me. My car before this was a E46M3 so I had almost the exact ammount of power and I feel like I need some more. I will eventually tackle improving handling but its taking a back seat to power at the moment. thx for the input, im out of reps so ill have to continue repping tomo btw!

The CBE will give you good gains and make the sound so much better and if you like the FI style you get that two. So its a threefer.

I'd do some suspension mods early on, personally...
