Nurburgring. Completed 2 visits. 3rd trip is next month for 4 days.
Went along on a track day with a friend, enjoyed it though looking back, I prefer to spend my money going to the 'Ring. Track days don't excite me but the 'Ring certainly does.

Have a read of the latest Autocar mag - Lichfield Impreza comes out at no. 2 in top 20 track day motors - might give you some ideas.

Some tuition will get you going quickly and safely but I would say the only things you really need are uprated brakes (two-piece discs, hot pads and fresh fluid) because you'll wreck the OEM ones, and a set of well-worn tyres as you'll smoke a new set to oblivion.
These will make you quicker, safer, and save a lot of money.
Anything else will shave a second here and there, but not much more.

Maybe you should just go on the track with the car just as it is so you can get used to the idea. Just take it easy to begin with and work your way up at a sensible rate. Its far cheaper to do it like that and less wearing. You have the psychological advantage that your lesser speed initally is partly due to the car and you will soon learn what you need to do to wind things up a bit.
There is a lot more to driving on a track than meets the eye but very satisfying when you have cracked it.
