About to get a Mazda Portege 5!

[Xavjr._]

I just picked up a 2002 Mazda Protegé5 and I'm excited to start doing some mods to it. It's in pretty good shape, mostly stock, and I'm looking for suggestions on where I should start first!
I want to improve it overall maybe performance, handling, or even just daily driving feel. I'm not going full race car or anything, just trying to make it more fun and reliable.
Thanks!

Oh! I used to have a P5. They are so great. Enjoy it, they are awesome! Some noise/vibration on certain types of pavement - that was my only complaint. Otherwise, excellent.
