Well... for my car in the next year I hope to:
Get a full suspension put on the car, Tokico or Koni adjustibles, 27mm Torsion bars, and some 450 # springs in the rear to get the car about 3/4" lower. Also plan to pick up a couple sets of tires, with either Kuhmo 712's or some Azenis for daily tread.
In the engine department I hope to get a custom grind cam done this summer to bump the power output up another 20 HP or so...
If everything else goes well, I'll get all new body work to replace the degraded and cracked factory pieces and a new paint job.
Still on the wish list [get there sooner or later]: Some competition seats and maybe a 6 point cage with removable door bars, with the accompanying 5 or 6 point harnesses.
Also, hopefully in the next few weeks I'll re-do my entire throttle pedal to be able to get full throttle movement [discovered over the summer that the most I can get currently is about 85% throttle].

My plans include the following:
1. My Junkyard turbo. Piecing it together and getting it installed. Which has turned out to be a small chore, but worth while.
2. Suspension. Nothing special, just some new shocks and a pro-kit.
3. I'd like to get a little bump in the trunk and install a set of 8" subs. Nothing big, or for competition, but something more then what i got now.
That is really all on the car. I hope to buy a house this next fall, so I can't put a TON of money into the car. Priorities are in order!!!
I'd like to hit the drag strip once this summer. Even if the times will be skewed (5200+ft altitude), it'd still be nice to have some #'s to go by!

Here are my plans:
FIA approved racing seats w/racing harnesses
welded roll cage
seam weld entire frame
new rear suspension bushings
rally computer
mudflaps
roof scoop
paint job
real coilovers
new front crossmember
rewire the engine
put the plastic back in the fender wells
I'm making a rally car out of my crx if you can't tell already
