Post pics inside and out.

Wheels and tires 1st IMO
Suspension 2nd (lower)
Performance 3rd.

Determine a realistic budget and shop around.

^^no-no, starting wrong

1.-Maintenance
2.-Search: Your mods and the order they come in, can only be decided by YOU. It all depends on what your plans/goals are with the car, but searching will help you decided and see what others have done, and may enlighten you to any future questions you may have, and will also answer them for you.
3.-Make sure your maintenance is done top to bottom, front to back. Oil, plugs, cap, LCA's/bushings, filters, etc.
4.-Provided everything is healthy and checks out, then start modding.

Say for speed, what would be the most basic of all to put into it?

na-t, or a swap, but both are going to cost.

You my friend really need to search.

If you want speed, then what are your goals? Do you want $500 speed? Or $5000 speed? Is this going to be a track car, daily driver, weekend fun car?

Be realistic if you say you just want to burn v8's, then you need to move on.
