Advice on how to prep a track car.

Hi all,
I am not prepping my R56 as a deticated track car but a Proton Satria GTi.

It's quite popular here in Malaysia.

I am new to this so any advice is appreciated.

These are the things that i am already planning to do:

1) Strip the car of all interior carpet, moulding and sound deathening material
2) Remove the air-con
3) semi or slick tires
4) braided hoses
5) hotter rated brake pads

Anything else?
