btw, thanks for the replies. much appreciated.

I regularly take my teg to the track. And guess what, you don't need to do much of anything to make it fun. My car is stock except for tires, brake pads and brake fluid. Those are the necessary things.
The stock Michelins suck on the track. Also, you will quickly fry the stock brakes. Get some Hawk HP+ or Porterfield R-4S pads. I have the Porterfields and they seem to work well. Also put in some good high temp fluid, I run ATE super blue (it's pretty much the standard).
Then stop wasting your money on getting another 5 hp here or there. Go spend it on track days. NOW. So take your $250 and buy some good brake pads and fluid, then hit the track!
Oh, one more thing, if you suddenly get a bunch of cash, then suspension will yield the most fun improvement on the track. And you will quickly learn about the benefits of a limited slip diff once you've done some quick laps. Get one of those too.
