Default Upgrades needed for Auto-X?

Alright, Finally have some cash flow, and I'm interested in starting Auto-x. I drive a stock 93' 240sx. What do you guys think I should work on first? An engine swap right now is probably out of the question, I don't make THAT much, and I'm not up to taking out a loan right now for it.

Read the rules and decide which class you want to run in.
Some of the changes that you make will affect which class you will run with.

Do all of these but I am still going to list them.

1st Upgrade the bushings on your car. Replace worn out rods/arms
2nd Bleed the entire brake system and refill with new brake fluid.
3rd Upgrade brake lines and upgrade your brake pads to an aggressive street pad, like Hawk HPS.
4th Get a race seat and soft compound tires. These will make a world of difference.
5th SEAT TIME, SEAT TIME, SEAT TIME

decent coilovers and multilink wouldnt hurt.
but would most likely put you in a different class.
like pat said, read the classing, and go from there.
decide how far you want to go.

By the by, what class does your car fit into, SM? I'm kinda fuzzy on that since it has a swap. Hope I can be gunning for you soon.
