17" should open up quite a few options, as sweet Pete said it will make the biggest difference, after driving. Go for hankook rs3 or Yoko ad08 something similar to that. If strapped for cash can still pull decent times with just good rubber with stock sussy

1:18s?
Yeah that would be a good target for a beginner. From what I've heard, most beginners do about 1:18-1:20 ish at Wakefield for the first time.

Hmm 1:18 pretty quick for first timer I think 1:19 is a good base average benchmark with street tyres like the ones I listed with a stock NA SW20. 1:16.6 was my best, first time in 2013, stock (BEAMS!! ofc). But I scored Yoko AO48s which are semis. So much grip the car had more rolls than a coaster...

Federal 595 RSR is the best street tyre at the moment

Unfortunately i cant afford to spend money on wheels or tyres atm. I'm saving everything i can just to get to the track day... A 4000km round trip and food and accommodation for nearly a week away isn't cheap. I've gotta do the best i can with what ive got...

Good on you for committing to the big trip! It's best to start off with a stock car and normal tyres, so you can try to make the most of what you've got first. Also, you will learn more about what the car is capable of in its current form.

Just keep to the basics. Best to flush the brake system with good quality brake fluid. That will be a better investment than new tyres.

I did that in September before my first track day at Mallala, the brakes held up really well.

Yep, Willwood 600. Its cheap and well proven in ALMS,Nascar and many other series around the world. A friend uses it in his 500hp V8 RX7 in endurance racing. It will do a 1.03 at Wakefield for 300kms. Never had brake fade. It is also very resilient as opposed to the AP. AP is very good but needs to be changed quite often.
