Default Mods needed for nurburg 2010

Ferrys all booked up so nurburg here I come! Got me thinking though, what mods to my S2 RS Turbo are gonna be needed to fully enjoy it and to prevent any mishaps. Any ideas people?

the ring isnt about power is about knowledge and carrying the speed through the corners, so i would say suspension and brakes then power.

Powers solved, but I shall be taking it very slowly at first as i will be absolutly devastated if I stuff it. Got a GMAX suspension on her, escort cossie brakes (ABS Removed) and powerflex bushes all round. Anything else you think I might need? Would a baffled sump be a good idea as I dont want the engine going pop!
