Cool Newb building a track car

Hello everyone! I bought my '94 M Edition miata about a month ago and have been steadily prepping it for track use. I run with NASA NE primarily at NJMP, Lime Rock, Pocono, and eventually Watkins Glen and Palmer. The goal is to stay on stock power and 200tw tires for a while to learn the car and improve as a driver, and then eventually install a turbo kit and get a reliable track tune when I get sick of getting passed.
I replaced all the fluids, pulled the AC, and put on DTC-30s on front and back. Suspension is NA bilsteins with 700/325 springs, and 15x7 wheels on 205 Direzza ZIIIs. Finally installed a rollbar last weekend. I'll be looking forward to all the helpful advice from the experts here.
Here's my car!

Nice looking ride! Same way I started, heading down the boost road this winter. I will say, my biggest fear is destroying the nature of the car, and breaking it regularly at the track. I beat the snot out of mine the last 2 years at my local tracks and it's held up amazing.

Great baseline and plan. Few have the insight or focus to start with a good baseline and improve the driver first. Good luck!

(edit - damn it, didn't realize this was an old post. damn noob bumped it)
