I can't stress how important seat time is. You can spend a fortune on your car and still get your ass kicked by an '89 Civic on street tires driven well.

Save your money for track days. I suggest Thunderhill as probably the best first track for learning on. Hell, it is probably the best learning track at most any level in N. CA/NV.

The fewer mods your car has, the faster you will learn to drive. tires, suspension, brakes, power, etc... All may allow you to go faster, but don't make you a better driver an make it harder to learn to be one.

Within reason, the more the car rolls, dives, won't stop, won't accelerate, the better the driver has to be to go fast and the more feedback is given to the driver to learn from.
