just my .02.
Go ahead and do the mods, but do them in stages with a little track/autoX time in between. You'll appreciate each mod a little more because you actually see the entirety of what you are doing. As for mods before tracking a car, the only thing that I would require would be brakes, and just some pads at that. The one thing that I regret about the Supra is that I insisted on doing all those mods before tracking it. I drove it at 5 events after those mods and the only thing I bought were pads and tires to make me faster. Really, the only reason I did all the shit to the 240 already was because I need to sell the red car, wanted the stuff on it, and it necessitated swapping of goods between the cars to accomplish that. Modding a car is great, but I'd also recommend the seat time over the mods. It will make YOU faster, and therefore any vehicle that you drive faster.
Last weekend I drove a car which I had technically owned for 1.5 months and 2 weeks prior had a totally different suspension and braking system. Not to mention that my car looks like poo. I went out there, had an absolute blast, and rolled some shit too despite that my car is pretty slow with 4 all seasons, was immobile the night before, and on its last leg at 150k miles.
The speed that I gained in my shitty little 240 will make me a faster driver in the Supra, as well as the FD, Z06, porsche and any other car that I plan to own in my lifetime
