Is there any kind of safty gear needed, such as a helmet, fire extinguisher, ect.?

Current car mods are just a stage 1 tune, with stage 2 this weekend. Later on looking at upgrading some of the suspension and getting a set of wheels and summer tires. Order of recommened upgrades now?
The "correct" mod path for getting the most out of your car is:

1) Seat time (aka mod the driver)
2) Seat time
3) Seat time
4) wheels/tires
5) suspension
6) brakes
7) engine/power
8) weight

And weight is only listed so low because it's virtually impossible to really make decent weight loss on a production based street car w/o going insane in chopping the car to bits. Otherwise I'd list it above suspension, brakes and engine.
