    Holly Photoshoot 318is S52 Slicktop

    Had an old friend visit who does automotive photography for a living now, so we spent Monday taking some pics. The weather didn't lend itself to having blue skies but I think the shots turned out nice.

    A little about the heart, as it always puts a smile on my face.

    The s52 is OBD2 w/ Schrick Cams 264/256, VAC Stage 2 head / multi angle intake/exhaust valve job / VAC Valve springs and steel retainers, ARP Bolts, 24lb injectors, Porsche 911TT 3.5 MAF, Euro Sport fuel rail Euro Sport pulleys / Technika Motorsports custom tune / Castro Intake Box, Schmiedmann Equal length headers, Rouge Engineering full exhaust.
















    From Autocross a month ago

    A little video editing practice and autocross from last year

                  Great looking, purpose built car! The cams definitely put this car into e92 m3+ territory from an acceleration stand point!

                  What trans and diff are you running? Any dyno numbers?

                    Thanks! Yeah, I've been trying to get faster at autocross over the past few years. Doing mostly BMWCCA events since the SCCA ones by me put me into an insane class. Last month I was able to beat every generation of M car (1988-2015) and come pretty close to the Lotus guys that are usually 2/3 seconds ahead of the entire field.

                    Tranny is a ZF, and the diff is 2.93

                          Man that s52 hauls ass! I'm jealous of your mods. Definitely built for the track/auto-x. Nice work.
