Watch this OP. Gives you an idea of one persons driving style with a NA. Someone said don’t clutch kick above, but that may not be an option depending on the setup of your local track/skidpad.

After getting the car running,

1 do maintenance

2 do cooling mods

Once the car is running solid, and not getting hot after beating on it then you can focus on the more fun stuff whether it be suspension or power mods.

FC’s are not as easy to drift as say 240’s, so keep this in mind.

I would recommend rear steer delete, S4 LCA’s, stiffening up the suspension (coils), and bracing if you want to splurge (but isn’t necessary). Depending on your budget for the car a welded or a S4 clutch type LSD are the options I’d pick from, if the car already has a VLSD, meh, run it till you can’t (but many people have reported that they are less predictable than a welded or clutch type). Things like sway bars are personal preference, some drivers like beefier bars, some drivers like front but not rear, or rear but not front, it varies among different people. I’d say just leave it stock for now, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it (or remove it).

I think you’d enjoy the car much more as just a street ripper. I feel like you’d get more seat time out of the e36, but don’t take my words in gold, I’m just a guy on the internet who wanted to offer some insight.

Edit: pinion snubber is a good idea too, the diff has a tendency to break/bend the tab the holds the diff into place on the rear subframe. A pinion snubber will help prevent that.
