Take your car out as it is now first to see if it is for you.

You dont need to build a monster to have a fun safe time.

Get good brakes and suspension, then as Nuts says do a few track days and see if it actually needs anything else.

Can't fault you for thinking about safety many people want to build wild cars with mad engines and silly over the top products etc before they even know if they can drive safely on track.

Just get out get some experience and your car will tell you what products you need first.
