Always get proper track pads at the MINIMUM. No OEM pad is really meant for track use especially not on a "budget" fun car.

Get some carbotechs from Counterspace Garage or some of our really good forum supporters and you won't regret it. Mind you, track pads can potentially squeal and dust but hey, at least you won't find out at 80mph you can't stop.

Track brake pads are minimum.

I'd suggest Motul RBF600 brake fluid as well. Go have fun on the OEM tires, learn the limits, get some coaching as well, it greatly accelerates your learning instead of just dropping yourself into the deep end.

I also HIGHLY suggest a helmet. Doesn't take much to need stitches.

Bring tons of water, stay hydrated and fresh! Welcome to the world of track driving!
