You havent said what engine you have, unless im a retard.
You can make solid mounts, or atleast strengthen your current ones with tigerseal.
Strip it, its free and easy to do.

Also think of the safety, bucket seat, a decent one not the cheap kind. Harness.
Look through steves project thread for ideas.

Cage, atb diff, decent adjustable shocks and springs, decent tyres eg 048r's, r888s, don't bother fitting a LET, xe on carbs or bodies are a lot more fun and reliable

Good brake fluid, braided brake lines, Good brake pads (ds2500?) Uprated rear arb (whiteline or cavalier one i think,) some decent track tyres on 15s and a decent seat and 4 point harness.
dont worry about a diff yet.
