You should look into a hovercraft David, I hear those are cool....

nah bro, he needs to go cory and trevor status and get a snowmobile.

or just say fukitall and buy a Z4MC :D

Don't tempt me, son.

The nice thing about grad school is I'll get paid decently and will have a good deal more cash to spend on ramen/cars.

I'm equally tempted to keep the M3 since I've figured out and fixed most/all of its issues and just drive the piss out of it, swap in an S54, and pwn bitches.

Somehow, an S54 is involved in whatever I end up doing.

You should just track the car and learn to drive again and learn its quirks before adding power and shit....

Motor swap and associated frivolity would not be happening overnight......

You should still track the thing before it spends more time on stands.

And where do I say I wouldn't be? I'm planning on spending most of next summer tracking the thing before modding it any further.

It's not like I've never driven on a track either, I've got a fair bit of experience, albeit in two different cars.

I'm not saying you're inexperienced, maybe just a little rusty. I'm not Mario Andretti either here. I'm just saying you should track the thing for more than a season before drastically changing things... Cause at that point, next season will be spent learning an unfamiliar car... You change the motor or a BBK or something, you'll just be relearning a new car the next season.

I'm aware of all this. I'm pretty sure I'll be funemployed after graduation till school starts in the fall, so I'm planning on spending all my time and money on open track days and schools. The rustiness will go away quickly.

Regardless, I drive it most of the time (100% at the moment) on the street, and want a fun street car that I can take to the track and play with much more than a purpose built track car I can only play with once every other weekend or so. It doesn't make a damn bit of sense where I'm at right now to have a car that's useless 99% of the year. Will the car be an uncompetitive compromise? Yup. Do I care at all? Nope.

If I'm going the track car only status, i'll buy a SpecE36 or SpecE30-- something I can crash and not care.

Street driving can only give you so much of a grasp of how the car might act on track.... Start pushing it with sticky tires and who knows what you'll see.

um....wat?

I know what you're getting at, but I'm not sure why. Nowhere did I say that my driving the car on the street gives me a clear idea of how it'll behave on track....

I'm not really sure what your point is, to be honest.

[Bishop]

Yeah me neither. Let's party!

[Bimmerman325i]

Would you like to come to the pants party?

[Bimmerman325i]

Your sig is way too big. Resize that bitch.

[Bishop]

That's what she said
