Some people will tell you that modding the stock airbox to make it a cold air intake (mx-5) will give you as much performance as a $200 intake from say.. K&N. As far as the seats, Remember: THey just slide in and out! Its not permanent. The exhaust will compliment any flow enhancements you do to the intake, and headers will help a little, maybe.

If youre wanting to make performance upgrades cheaply, i would go for the free or close to free ones.

Tip: when youre the primary driver, unhook the negative battery cable for 10 minutes or so to reset the computer, then go out and drive the car how you want it to know you drive. You will get a peppier car than before. Right now its used to your mothers driving. (learning computer runs the engine)
How would I go about modding my stock air box to make it a cold air intake? If I did that would I still need a scoop in my hood to get the max performance? So when I become the driver of the car, and I reset the computer it will learn my driving habits? Like breaking a little later than most people by applying more pressure and how I accelerate? Wow that is amazing, I knew there was a computer in there, but I didn't know it could do all of that. What is the difference between an airbox, and an intake? and why do they call it a cold air box?

Yeah Taylor, this forum seems to be great!
