I think you summed it up really well here. Thanks for the thoughtful reply! I really don’t think I’ll be a + 300hp person anytime soon. Controlling 240 ponies is my powertrain ceiling for the moment and these cars definitely seem to be solid platforms to start mastering that kind of power/weight.
The other factor prompting this E36 F22 “dilemma” is covid times — uncertain potential amounts of time at the house depending on how things go, especially as I work at a University. I’d like to have a new project I could work on if I end up shut in again.
Who am I kidding though? If I buy a project car, I will spend 3X as much as I predict and then likely do my first track year in my F22! The logical choice is to just start showing up and working on controlling what I have.
2 questions:
1 do you think LCA swap would introduce enough negative camber to forgo plates?
2 are my daily Conti extreme contact tires a suitable solution for getting started?
... And of course now there’s an S52 swapped E36is with H&R coilovers for sale 20 miles away on Craigslist for 3K.
