Some lessons you'll soon learn:
Sunroof? It's not a benefit, it sucks. Headroom and chassis stiffness are waaay more valuable.
Get new tires. It's worth it. Falken Azenis in stock size will pwn everything for under $400 shipped (assuming any place stocks them...)
Fix before upgrade. Shit will break, waste your money on mods like me and repairs will have you in debt up your ass. Sucks, but true. get your basic maintenance done, change plugs, wires, oil, distributor cap and rotor, battery, radiator fluid, bleed your brakes, check for anything else wearing down.
Driver skill is 1 and 1A. Unless you have an opportunity to upgrade while replacing something broken (clutch, shock, body...), pay for events, ride with others and drive. get the swap ASAP, learn how to drive stick, make rev match and heel-toe second nature.
Get a Helmet. It's part of above.
Suspension>Power. the 160whp from your SR won't mean shit on bald tires, weak pads, and soft suspension. When you can get the most out of your 130whp, then you can worry about adding more. Stomping on the gas in a straight line is fun until the road turns faster than your car does.
