Given the age, mileage, and largely unknown history, I would not recommend ANY mods until you live with the car for awhile and better identify what it needs. At a minimal you should determine the status of, and address as needed the following:
- Tires
- Brakes
- Water pump
- Coolant Tank
- Colant cap (latest version)
- AOS
- Plugs
- Coils packs
- Air filter
- Serp belt
- Cabin filter
- ALL fluids (transaxle, brake, clutch, coolant, etc..)
- Bonus (front end component inspection)

The above alone can set you back many thousands. As mentioned, knowing whether the IMS has been replaced is important, BUT if you have a new clutch you missed the opportunity to cost effectively address the IMS and given the milage replacing the IMS is a questionable investment and secondary to the above.
