Wanting to get into road course racing
Ok so I know I should get some coilovers and a rear sway bar but what else do I need to upgrade. Minus tires and wheels. Also would it be a good idea to take a driving class to learn how to manuever the car around the track?
Any help would be awesome thanks

you dont "need" coil overs. Get Pedders springs, ottp rear sway bar hardcore and tires. But if you are new to "racing", you will want to go to classes, start in scca events and autox to get used to how your car feels. autox is a great way to get into it, and its real cheap.
yup pedders + hardcore bar is what im getting you coilovers wont do much more for you other than lower the car more and be able to adjust camber and **** i did my first even in novemember at redline time attack in fontana and got hooked they have a class in the morning then do lead and follow then let you go out and rip it up i had a driver instructor for a few laps and it was good to know i was doing **** right but just get out there and have fun and youll learn alot
check out Redline Time Attack WHAT'S NEW they have one in vegas and sonoma this year and a few other places its like $225 you just gotta get a helmet too i got an open face bell and works great
The only coilovers worth having that are being made for our car right now are KW V2, but you can probably get pretty much the same performance out of Konis + Pedders. The hardcore bar is a must.
Ditch those solid mounts, the colder plugs, and the BOV, and you better get a less aggressive tune. Set your Dash hawk to monitor oil temp and knock. Many aftermarket tunes are not track appropriate.

It screws with your AF (unless you've relocated the MAF, and PROPERLY tuned for it). Sell it and get the Forge for even less, put the MAF where it belongs.
The solid mounts are a horrible idea. It's going to cause additional stress on the trans, and besides, you want some play, especially as you're learning how to downshift properly. OTTP rotated mounts have a rubber mount that have some play, but still reduce axle hop. Stage 1 will suffice.

You CAN run a fairly aggressive tune with w/m supplement, just do what i do, modify your maf tables to match whatever you set your progressive controller to. It takes some practice to get it right watching your ltft/stft but I think I had it pretty much dialed in the same afternoon I installed it. Some of these tuners would call it cheating I suppose and some would freak out that I run as much timing as I do on the track. I run 93/v100 half and half AND w/m 50/50 mix with a 7.5 nozzle.
whatever you do meth has to be run forward of the MAF, if you decide to run it. the trifecta tune isn't going to work anyways, there is NO way you can run that tune without popping the motor unfortunately.
