Save yourself some pain - go with an E36 steering rack swap. Parts will be a little more expensive and it’s a bitch to install, but you’ll end up with a better-engineered rack with fewer turns lock-to-lock.
Brakes are easy - that’s an afternoon. I highly recommend the TireRack cryo rotors as they last forever and don’t…

Yes. 1000x yes.
See also the 128i with the M-sport package - basically a 2008-2013 version of an E36 M3. Was one of the selling points when I bought mine.
This is the most eloquent explanation as to why I love lightweight, low HP cars. I recently bought an E30 318is and have had to explain, over and over again, as to why I prefer it to a 325i(s).

Warner Brothers took it out of the rotation for editing, but put it back into circulation in the mid-sixties with the chainsaw murders removed, but with the photo-realistic penis still there in all its glory.

If you have the original S14 motor and want to put that kind of money into an engine swap, you’re better off going to Jim Rowe for an S14 2500 Rally motor. It won’t mess with your car valuation but you’ll get a nice bump in performance and reliability (probably not mileage, though).
46-36 sounds a little above average to me.
One of these:
Thankfully, VW doesn’t set up their cars for understeer...
He’s always going to have that 39% of racists, predatory capitalists, evangelicals, and functional idiots who think he can do no wrong.
OK. Only ‘Ace of Spades’ for RedneckRacingMuseum if (s)he is driving a Smart or Prius.
I really dig the rat-rod sleeper look, but after looking through all the (fantastic) resto-mod photos, I’m left with one question...
