As long as you are sensible about it, your brakes will be fine

By this - take it easy on the first lap or so of each session to allow everything to get up to temp.
Handful of faster laps
good lap or so of 'cool down' - try and do a lap without using the brakes

Oh - and when you park up, leave it in gear, not held by the handbrake!

tyres can take a beating - but that's just part of the price you pay for having fun

A Civic only day would be great!
