Track prepared?
moke: (or close enough)In terms of other cars being more well suited, yeah, fair point. The Lexus should prove to be a kind of less rusty, more modern E36, a car that I have run before with great fun and some success too. There is always a chance that in time to come I may get another power-train fitted instead, and then all of the work carried out thus far will not have been in vain.
Thanks for the feedback guys.

I think 150bhp per ton is very optimistic and I don't think possible (could be wrong lol)
If your taking all the seats, carpets, glass etc then why leave the dash and heaters???
Gotta be a fair bit of weight there???
Also remove the aircon, abs system and you've gained a few more kg.
Personally tho depending on what your after I would go a different road.
There's plenty of more powerful and lighter cars out there at similar money.
Are you just aiming for track use as in race, drift, drag etc???
