Default Track preparation

Ok S12 jedis i need your help please?

I have just bought a completely stock 1 owner from new clean and tidy S12 with the CA18ET motor.

I am planning on stripping the whole thing down to save every bit of weight so if anyone wants a mint complete interior then let me know.

I need your help with parts and advice though, bearing in mind i am on a very very tight budget, here goes;

Brakes,
These seem to work ok but the first bit of track use will destroy them i think, what pads are available for these cars for track use and for ok money?
Discs all seem ok and the calipers will be ok once cleaned up.

Suspension,
This is the main area of concern for me as it is truly shocking!! I guess most 20 year old machines will get a bit saggy!! What suspension options on a budget are available please?

Engine,
The motor seems to be ok and has all service stamps all the way from 1987 to the present day!!!!!
I am thinking a boost gauge and a bleed valve will be ok but to what boost?
Air filter and exhaust but what cheap exhausts are available or is it all custom work?

Transmission,
How strong are the clutches in these?
Do must people weld the diff's for track and drift use?

This should be most of my concerns so far so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ian.
