How about some suspension work, brake pads, lines and fluid. And don't forget some good tires. There's more than just power mods to hitting the track.

I've also got some seat brackets to put your Recaro seat in a lower motorsports style position.

Actually, there aren't just more than power mods for hitting the track - the mods you listed are FAR MORE useful for autox and track use than power mods.

Which one are you saying?

For the track I'd be looking at:

- Motul RBF brake fluid
- Ferodo DS 2500 pads
- Brake cooling ducts
- Good tires, stock are nice if you still have tread, or start looking at some DOT R-compounds.
- Lowering the seat and getting a harness to hold you in place.

That's the getting start list.

Jid2, I'd say

- Motul fluid = yes
- Ferodo 2500 = no, get better ones
- Brake cooling ducts = definitely not needed at this level, and he's talking autox, not track anyway
- Stock tires are perfect for getting started in autox. They are some of the best money can buy for STU. Do NOT get r-comps for a newbie
- Don't need a harness either, and if you do, only for autox use, else you'd want to have rollover protection when using the harness for anything faster than autox
