And staying NA, paying just for most needed mods (eg. higher rated brake pads/fluid, performance alignment, wearables like pads/tires/fuel), will reduce by much tracking budget, resulting more trackdays (and maybe tutoring received to steepen learning curve) to be affordable. I've seen plenty of people modding heck out of car, supposedly "for track preparation" .. and never actually taking it to track, or driving very slow if/when it finally happens. And plenty of track enthusiasts having their share of fun and driving very fast on seemingly very unfit for track cars, underpowered old beaters, generic family cars, etc. .. but they tracked them a lot compared to those that spend all money on modding.

I understand completely. In that case I may just work on braking/steering and suspension. I have the modding bug and I've generally love to modify everything. I hands down love the way the car drives and having been a 4 time Honda owner this is a whole new world. I just never saw the point of modifying any of the cars I've owned previously. But this, I really like.
