More or less agree on the rest, I'd still do pads too though. Doesn't hurt.

This is true...I guess you have to think about what will make a beginner enjoy the car on track as well - not knowing if the car is going to stop or not isn't going to be fun.
If you really want to do a budget setup that will actually make the car better, and seriously prolong the life of your consumables - do camber bolts, and tires, and brake pads and fluid.
The camber bolts will allow you to wear the tires less on the shoulders and stickier tires won't wear/turn to dust as fast as the OEM all season will in a track setting.
Upgraded pads (nothing crazy) should last longer on track than the stockers as well - not to mention stopping the car better and being more up to the task at hand.
So if you look at it form this angle, there are a few things that can be changed very easily to extract more out of the car and save the owner more in the long run.
