Noobie is only relevant to this site as I'm of "elder" years!
Owner of a 1988 supra turbo that is being converted to track day use.
I'm the original owner and began minor modifications soon after purchase to include:
car tech qcbc, intercooler, Borla exhaust, K&N intake, OZ (fittipaldi) wheels, suspension techniques sway bars and springs, tokico illumina shocks, ACT 6puck clutch, stainless brake lines, EBC pads, slotted rotors, TEMS over ride switch, and will be switching out to a Fluidyne radiator soon.
I welcome any suggestions for setting up this car further for 'track day's.
I'm an ex AMA racer (Yamahas) who has found a need for speed once again and really love my Supra.

Welcome.
Their are good threads on how to set your car up for the track.
One major thing I saw was you have upgraded sway bars, Get some quick release end links for the track to disconect the sway bar. You want as much weight transfer from front to rear on launch as possible. Upgraded sway bars stiffen the front end to much.

And of course a set of track rims and tires like rx7 rims with MT ET streets or something on them for track day
Good luck post pics

Thanks for the Welcomes.
Clarification: the car is set up for road race tracks, not drag racing.
As a prior motorcycle AMA racer I've run: Road Atlanta, Daytona, Talledaga (the big track), Summit Point, Roebling Road, Rockingham, etc.
I'm hoping to run Road Atlanta soon (one of my favorite tracks), but would like to run Mid Ohio and a few others.
