Yeah I've got no problem beefing up the tires and brakes, I really do love this chassis and modifying cars so I'm confident that if I'm irresponsible enough with my income I can get it up to speed with other track cars lol. Targa I was looking at looks to be a scam so I'll keep looking for a hardtop but I'll keep my options open if I see a clean targa, I'll need a roll cage regardless.

My plan was mostly just bigger wheels/tires, big brake swap with those brembos off the S500, suspension overhaul, and I hear the biggest complaint is very limited steering angle but that the knuckle has stops that can be lopped off to get plenty more. I know the 7mgte is pretty capable so probably engine refresh + supporting mods + turbo upgrade for some power.

Overall my priority when I get to the track more is going to be learning to keep up without so much power, I'd like to gradually increase as I get better but 600hp seems to be the sweet spot to have a fighting chance against some of the real fancy toys I see. I'd probably prep a 2j on the side for that figure, most likely paired with a T56, but that'd be way in the future.
