For extra peace of mind oil cooler as well. But honestly outside of this and what was mentioned its all you need. If its a 6SP I would change the diff and trans fluid before taking out if service records were not provided.

Do some research, plenty of threads on this forum. If you are not willing to put in time and effort to learn more about potential problems and solutions, it does not matter how reliable the car is.

Jesse, I have a 2015 that has seen around 35 track days. I drop the oil every 2nd-3rd event and use a JRDOC. So far so good.
https://jacksonracing.com/product/fr...toroil-cooler/ I've also removed a bunch of weight. It makes a difference IMO. Good brake fluid and a pad change to start and that'll get you going. I ran the stock tires for a few events too. |

It's been a good reliable street/track car for me. ~34 track days and 55k miles on mine. Fun fun fun! You might get some camber bolts and offset front strut top mounts to get some front camber. Good tires, good brake pads, fresh DOT4 and have at it!
