A little bored cooped up at home, figured I'd start a thread to describe the process I went through with my track car. I don't know of too many B58-based cup car conversions (other than
capt_and's), so figured it might be interesting.
I don't want to just put down a parts list, but describe my reasoning at each step, so I'll just post the different "stages" one by one. When I first got the car, I'd never stepped on a track -- it never even crossed my mind that there's an amateur level at motorsports. Having a bit more experience now, I'd definitely do many things differently (and probably not start with the F22 platform). But all in good time.
Anyway, here's what the car looks like now. The chassis and the engine have about 110-120 on-track hours on them. Current goals for it are mostly fun HPDE / occasional time trial. I don't plan to take it wheel-to-wheel racing, mostly because of the pretty high running / repair costs.
Stage 1: stock(-ish)
Stage 2: spin city
Stage 3: track car now?
Stage 4: track car now!
Stage 5: M240iR
Stage X: In progress
Stage 6: COVID
