Proper helmet is first.
Your car should pass inspection stock.

Mods to your car help but you can track stock and learn a few things before messing with the car.

Stay in your ability and budget.

I understand!
I want to be faster on turns. I’m going for bolt ons and tune

What about track alignment?

 

[xBADCOMPANYx]

I mean what's your experience?
Seriously if it's your first day ever don't mess with anything yet. Yeah you'll overheat brakes but you'll learn limits of your car and yourself... When you raise that threshold you have to be ready to deal with more.

Just my advice.

Learn to drive on a track before you mod your car. Only start modding once you are surpassing the limits of the car.

Then roughly this order:
Tires
Weight reduction
Brakes
Suspension
Power

Any good shop working on suspension parts?

judging by your post, i assume this will be your first time tracking?
skip the thought about adding performance parts for now.. go out there and have fun, get some seat time, get used to the car, learn from your errors.. driver mod is #1..
maybe get a set of performance brake pads and change out the brake fluid for something that withstand higher temp.. that's about it for mods for beginners imo until you gain enough experience and know what area of the car you need mods for to get you faster times.

I would address mods differently.
Brakes, fluids
Tires, basic weight reduction
Suspension
Wheels, aggressive tires
Power
Aggressive weight reduction

As stated by others, you'll do yourself more favors spending money on track time than mods to start.

Power should be the last thing you touch.

I would go track a beater first if it's your first time learn your ability and threshold before taking a brand new supra as your first track car.

Supra is fine as a track car. It's honestly pretty tame on track and offers a good amount of feedback as you approach it's limits. As long as you don't hero drive out the gate there's no issue. Run what you got...

Ya exactly dont go 0 to 100 immediately. Power and speed can come later

if it's the first time on the track, the weak link is the driver.

Seat time is king.

Like @xBADCOMPANYx said, Supra is great in stock trim as a track car. The weakest link is likely the tires and brakes. But as someone completely fresh to the sport, just go to the track and enjoy!

I have dozens of trackdays under my belt with various Lotus and after 1 trackday with my stock Supra, I can confidently say the only thing it really needs is better brake pads and brake fluid.

OP does remind me of this cartoon though (all in good humour)
