where to start

I just turned 16 and i got my moms 1997 SE, haha please no jokes. I am on a fairly constrained budget(nothing too expensive) and i am trying to decide where to start for performance mods on the car? I just want some of your opionions.
Thanks

Will

Everyone will suggest a 180 t-stat and a tranny cooler. These are fairly cheap things, you wont get any performance out of them, but these mods will keep your car running good.
