    Started poking at the s52. Ive never seen a valve cover gasket this bad lol. It was basically plastic.  IMG_3557.MOV

    good news is the top end looks super clean, so at least the oil was changed regularly

    probably going to do a leak down test on this and figure out where I stand.

            This looks awesome, I’d be very surprised if that head wasn’t off and hot tanked at some point, never seen an original one that clean!

                Didn’t race the e30 at USAIR, it needs an alignment and I’m too lazy, so I co-drive the gfs evo x.

                took 1st in XSA & 2nd/113 for raw time. This thing scoots and the suspension/power changes she made over the winter were definitely noticeable from last year 
                 

                Watching it back, I had a few sloppy corners and let off in a few areas that I usually don’t - idk what I was doing

                      Thanks Joe!  it’s technically not an Autocross (insurance wise it’s a time attack). The open course is nice and we probably went around 70-75mph. Way better than the parking lot stuff haha

                            Alignment scheduled for Friday. 
                            plan for this season is just enjoy the car as is with the new suspension.

                            I have all the parts stashed and it’ll make a good winter project when I find the motivation.

                              Local event today, car did pretty well. New suspension setup is way better. Not sure where I ended up overall, from what I heard maybe 2nd?

                              was also able to give @Rekpoint a couple ride alongs, hopefully he swings out to a some events once he can source an m3

                                      Also an FYI. Mitch shaved like 5-7 seconds after getting my 125 pound ass out of the car.

                                        What's amazing to me is it looks slow.  It's not dramatic in the least, just effortless all the way through.  I think that's a testament to the amount of wheel time you have, nice job!
