I'm assuming someone else does the brake and oil fluid but that you do your own pads. I absolutely hate doing fluids. Such a pain in the ass and so messy. 100 is nice for tires since great road tires will cost more. Track tires more again since you'll need another set of wheels. Oh, forgot the helmet! You want to wear a borrowed one? Blech!
You gotta pay to play. It shouldn't be scary. It's just the truth. Not to mention how much worse it will be once you go FI. Then you'll need brakes and tires more often along with improved cooling and fuel system mods to not suck air below 1/4 tank. Then of course you'll have to think about a big brake kit. The stock brakes are fine, but nothing impressive. A bit soft, and I'd worry about stopping on a track from 130, which only a FI car could hit. Then you'd need motor mounts because of the abuse on track. Actually, people should be scared of track days. They break stuff, especially on partially modded cars.

calm down man, this is a car forum, I'm pretty sure everyone here knows that speed cost money. I've known plenty of weekend guys that could get a season out of a set of brake pads. Used R-comps can be had for fairly cheap. Alot of tracks let you camp out at the track which is cheaper and a great way to socialize. The fluids don't need to be changed every track day, yes they should be changed more often, but for the people at the level that your posts are informative to, every 5-6 months would probably be just fine if they're using decent fluids. And a borrowed helmet is just fine if you're still trying things on for size.
Now, can we please get back to the supercharger. Robi, will you have base maps for 91 octane, both intercooled and not, in two weeks?
