looks fun = yes.
have funds = no.
kids would love it = yes.
wife would stab me = also yes.

 

She would prefer that I kept the truck and sold the car. She’s not too keen on the gutted and LS swapped e36. Lol

 

LS E36's are all the rage now


subbed

 

It’s fun. Motor needs work, needs a tune, and some interior work. But was already swapped and has stoptech big brakes and decent coilovers. It’ll be a fun track car.

I’ve already got brand new sparco seats in it, and the plan is to do some motor work, swap the harness, go to haltech ECU/dash, overfenders, and potentially cage it this winter.

 

Where in Knoxville?

 

you doing autocross?

 

Tis the plan. Autocross/street mobbing.

At a crossroads with the motor as to if I want to go for 450whp high compression NA or lower compression then supercharge it and go for 600. The car weighs like 2700 with me and a tank of gas in it though, so either way it’ll be fast.

 

Most life this thread has seen in like 2 years.

 

There was a second I was considering setting the corvette up for autocross but it just wasnt worth it to me for not having a super high desire to learn all that. The mx would have been a nightmare as far as I didnt want to have to deal with it at this current stage in life (too much stuff going on). It looks fun though.

 

Setting up those older cars to be competitive is expensive man. All said and done I’ll be like 15-18 in this car and it be rowdy.

 

way more than I'm willing to put into it for sure. BUT it would be pretty cool to see a C3 out there

 

Oh for sure. A guy I know used to have a late 60’s grand sport that he tracked. It was rowdy.

 

Youth football starts tonight... Wish me luck. Sounds like we have 250+ kids signed up for the organization. 100 alone in the 9/10s I'll be helping coach. Going to be at least 5 teams in it if not 6. This is going to be a long week of evaluating kids.

 

Just found this thread. Knoxville here!

 

Welcome!

 

This thread pretty much died 2 years ago...

 

yeah does not seem like much activity. Oh well

 

It used to be great until I became less active and then everyone left.

 

I seem to remember a few dudes getting rid of their tacos....

 

Gotta say that it is somewhat disappointing that there’s not much activity on this thread especially from the east end of the state. Seems to be a pretty good group of people here though.
