I would like to purchase this car when ever you decide to sell it
+1^^
I appreciate the offer on the help! Will definitely let you know.
Race Spec Alignment does wonders to the handling of the car. My previous E36 S/C M3 had TC Kline Coilovers with Vorshlag Camber plates, H&R Sways, Strut Bar, and X-Brace. It was the best handling car I have ever driven. It weighed 2950.
Keep the updates coming!

Something to stiffen up the front end:
Is that a Hotchkis sway?

X brace connects the front subframe to the chassis. Your full cage does not address this, I suggest you look into the brace. Regards, Nate
I am not knocking your build and how you are going about it. I would be more open to the x-brace and what the benefits are. Do some research on it in this forum. My friend who ran in JP uses and x-brace and I am sure many other club racers use it as well. For what you are building the car for I would have it on my to-do list. Why not start a thread in the track section and poll people about the brace?
Just for reference, I just had to take my xbrace off to put a slight dent in it because my SS headers would hit it on tight turns. The difference from it on and off were very noticeable and that was just driving around on the road to see if the clunk went away.
Quick update:
When I get the car back, I will be applying a few decals, removing the heater core, removing the glove box frame, stripping the dash, installing the hotchkis front sway bar and end links, and mounting the fire extinguisher.
Did you weld plates for supports under the roll bar?
Awesome car!
