e36 LSx track car build

[NoClassic]

Considering you can get these cars down to 2600lbs pretty easy, I don't think the extra 20hp afforded from LT's is necessary. A stock LS1 is going to make that thing boogie! keep it simple and cheap....that will translate to the most fun!

Is there are OEM manifold set that will clear the steering linkage?

bolt in cage?

Hmm, maybe. I'm just unsure if I want to buy those expensive ass headers or just do a small turbo setup. I'm shooting for a budget on this one, but I don't want to buy long tubes and then not use them.

Vorshlag had some blem headers recently at a $450 discount. Maybe check if they have any left.

I finally found my m-pars, except they're chrome.
Tracking on some of the parts shows today as delivery, so I might have presents when i get home from work.

stay away from the G-force....they have a tendancy to leave the car while the hub is still attached. Too light and not strong enough.

This sounds like really fun times.

I was actually about to post a similar thread about a few options I'm considering for my M, but not if y'all are going to be mean to me...

No way, we will make the best decision for you. You can sit back and jerk off without even having to think about what you actually want more than the others.

It'll be perfection, you just dont know it yet. You never know, you may not know what is good.

Hey, why dont you post up every decision that is going to be made, and we will make them for you!

Awesome! M pars it is. They're only $698.00 for a staggered setup with the correct hub bore and offset.

I'm not usually a fan of BMWs in that era, but I gotta say...that is gonna look sick!

I'm a fan of the "factory" looking rims, even aftermarkets that look like they could be, as opposed to something like the D-forces. Jmo, but I say get the Parallels.
