Top three are based in Australia, next two the US and the last two in Japan.

Owning a MY11 myself, the handling component of the car is where I would start.
Front & rear sway bars, end links, stiffer springs or coilovers or custom suspension packages (e.g. GTWorx/RCE), wider/lighter wheels or better rubber for the stock rims.
Oh, track time is a fairly cheap mod that can be done time and time again

There is a group that meets for coffee most if not all Saturdays and as Dave has mentioned there is the usual Thursday/Friday lunches for a number of people as well.

There are several official and unofficial cruises throughout the year as well as a number of skid pan/track days.
