Yeah... just use common sense and you'll be alright.

-Oil level
-Tire pressure (tire pressure gauge is important little tool to have all the time)
-Gas
If you have time make sure you set your timing right and check for tranny fluid.

If you have those mods in a FWD you'll need to lower your PSI on your front tires to grab a little better traction, nonetheless you'll spin like crazy as it is, so be patient, practice launchs, learn to release the clutch while at the same time accelerating, dont just slam it... you'll get what I mean when you're at the track. Its not imposible to get good 60' feet times, just takes more practice than an AWD.

Have fun, and post some times when you have them.
 
check everything down to the lugnuts cause hopfully you'll crack the 90mph mark LOL dont need a wheel falling off

and your spelling :D
 
A good tune up is always good to have, check fluids, plugs, wires, tires(get some falken or kuhmos), and check for any boost leaks.

Launch at 3500-4000RPM, slowly slip the clutch, easy in 1st, mash it in 2nd.
