Wheels/Tires/Coilovers/Catback exhaust. That's it.
My clutch throw out bearing was doing that around 38k miles after >10 track days. Then one day on the highway I downshifted and the clutch made a horrible noise whenever I was disengaging it. Turns out the throw out bearing totally seized. I was able to baby it to a local shop and installed an Exedy Stg 2 clutch that I ordered a week before just in case.

The clutch itself was in good condition, just the throw out bearing was shot.
