Ok, so once I get the ball really rolling, this will become a new thread. I appreciate that nobody has deployed the off-topic emoji!

I wanted to include a rough outline of cost, as that is frequently left out of these sorts of discussions and it’s easy to want to dump tons of money all at once. I’m trying to set my fun-budget at around 3-4K a season — that Rally school may be a hard exception though.

So with that restriction in mind, I think I’ve struck a decent daily/tracktool build-schedule that will accommodate my skills as I improve and get to know the car.

Year 1: ~ $2,300.00
- [x] Turner tow strap
- [x] SCHROTH Quick Fit Pro 4P Harness X2
- [x] Alpinestars
- [x] Bell helmet
- [x] DOT 4 brake fluid/ oil/filter X2
- [x] Book events
- [ ] finish all events with car in one piece

Year 2: ~ $4,000.00
- [ ] TR Motorsport C4 17x8 et40 245/40/17 x 4 Toyo R888 or RS4 $1,600-2,000
- [ ] Ground control camber plates $1,100.00 installed -2.5 degrees
- [ ] OE rear camber -1.5/2
- [ ] book events for the season

Year 3: $5,000.00
- [ ] Diffsonline 3.91 LSD ~ $3,500 - $4,000
- [ ] events

Things are always subject to change but this feels relatively doable and the modifications will keep the daily driving comfortable enough. As always, opinions/further insight appreciated. Are there things I am really just going to want? Like bushings? Sway bar end links, Etc?

This has all been so helpful, can’t get enough of this forum. thank you all for your input.
