Automotive-built

Michael Gilbert takes a win at Virginia International Raceway (VIR).
More races to follow this summer.
Stay tuned for more details and news!
In late 2004 we acquired a '92
325is that was in need of some work. Sporting a full Rieger body kit
and custom PTG paint, it looked great from the outside but pretty
much every mechanical aspect of the car needed attention. Over the
course of winter, the following items were replaced, along with
numerous maintenance items we won't list here:
.: Suspension :.
- Bilstein Sport struts and shocks
- H&R Race Springs
- M3 lower control arm bushings
- Racing Dynamics strut brace
- AA rear shock tower bar
- Racing Dynamics sway bar kit (front/rear)
- LTW x-brace bar
.: Engine :.
- Schrick Racing camshafts
- Complete racing valve train kit from VAC Motorsport
- 3-deg angle valve job
- VAC Motorsport head gasket
- Supersprint exhaust
- PAR Cold Air Intake
- TMS performance ECU chip
.: Brakes :.
- Zimmerman cross-drilled rotors
- Porterfield R4S pads
.: Wheels/Tires :.
- Haman PG2 17" wheels with Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 225/45Z-17 tires
Over
the course of this winter, we are planning to stroke and bore out
the block to over 3.0L with all-new internals. We also acquired
complete S52 engine and drivetrain that will serve as a backup
platform for this application.
While
this is still work in progress, you may actually see this car at
this year's driving events. Check back often for more updates as
this project is far from over.
