I second the Haynes manual idea. I've had one for every car I've owned and I think they are a must have. You'll learn a lot there, and you'll be more comfortable doing work on the car with it by your side. Now that that is out of the way....I agree with doing the suspension upgrades, ie: sway bar/strut tower brace, LSD, etc.....I love my new car, but I HATE the way it handles. These are the things I'm planning on doing first, if you wanna improve handling, I'd start asking some of the veteran guys around here about this stuff in detail about what brands/parts are best. As far as the tires go, my mom's car had 16" wheels and she upgraded again to 17"s and the difference in handling was minimal at best. But my first car I went from I think it was either 14" or 15" to 18" and there was a huge difference, although it slowed me down a bit. Kinda the trade off I guess.....
