    QLD BMW club trackday at QR - pics and video inside

    So following on from my Lakeside effort I made the trek out to QR to watch a few mates lock the hubs and put their race cars into 4H around the goat track commonly known as Queensland Raceway.

    First thing's first. I am awesome. I unmasked the Stig. No foolin.


    He drives a Radical


    Mong00se's 500+rwhp FD RX7 which I was assisting in spannering and taking photos of.


    It's a well sorted, high powered, mental patient approved car






    Serious R32 GTR parked next to us had a serious dry sump system. Seriously.


    Radical lost its undies after sex


    Serious brakes on a very unassuming four door E30. More on this later.


    Mint 325is in the carpark


    Another unassuming four door E30, owned by the same guy who owns the bronzit one featured earlier. This one is packing an RB25.


    Iain Curry from Performance BMW was on hand to do a photo shoot of a few of the E30's for the magazine.


    Pierz from RX Automotive's 2.8 stroker M20 track pig. Sounds good. Goes better.



    All sorts of stuff out on the track giving lots of variety for the punters watching


    More serious braking hardware on an E46


    Jumped in Rod's E36 325i and took the camera along. Lots of helmet to camera donking attempting to hang the fuck on



    Mong00se heading out for a passenger lap


    Ruhroo (/scooby)



    Did not end well






    Very quick, very tidy, very sexual supercharged E46


    R35 GTR. Looks slow in this shot. Isnt.


    The back end of the unassuming E30 four door from earlier. Needs the rubber.


    Cause its packing an LS1 :D Had a corker engine bay shot that somehow dissappeared from my SD card




    Lots of variety on the day, some very nice cars giving it arseholes all day






    Bee30 was charging hard





    Lotus Exige turned up later in the day. Supercharger note was ear piercing as it went past


    Lovely old Porsche. Was a bit off song though down the front straight.


    Bee30 leading the pack



    Rod's E36 325i. Lightly modified, super reliable, excellent all round car.


    Supercharged M Coupe from Macleans Bridge show giving the car some serious herbs onto turn 6. Wasnt to end well though.....


    Snapped this cause I thought it looked like a dream garage


    Until I heard tyres protesting, stuff scraping and stones being hurled all over the joint. Swing the camera round in time to get this....





    Fark



    While the cleanup was happening I went back to snapping other stuff around the joint like the front end of the dry sumped GTR


    And serious flares on the LS1 E30


    By this stage the track had been cleared and cars were out again. I think it was less than one lap before this E30 nearly ended up in the same spot as the M Coupe but recovered in time.


    Whoops


    R32 GTR hustling


    Bee30 again


    Getting slightly chewed by the R35 GTR


    And then a clean go at the corner with the GTR out of the way


    Supercharged E46. Horn.




    E30 powercruise style street drags


    E46 being manhandled in anger. Shits me that this shot washed out so much but I'll try to do something with it later


    White e30 got past


    But Bee30 was hunting him down


    Pierz from RX bring up the rear



    Bee30 rolls in victorious.


    E30 drags were kind of overshadowed by this guy in his SR20 powered E30 having some fun





    Next group rolls out with a very tidy JPS rep E30 323i




    Moar E30 stuffs


    Representin biatch


    Shifted positions to get a few different pics and check out the mangled M Coupe.


    Will totally buff out. Maybe.


    944 being thrown into Turn 6


    Couple more of the Bee30 and Rod's E36 to round out the day





    So on the back of this day out the 2JZ Free30 has been booked into RX Automotive for a full bush replacement, coilovers, wheel bearings and some other goodies to go and have a crack at this lap sprint malarky :D

      1. Fuck you. Why do I suddenly want an E30 again.

      2. Any more pics of the dry sump GTR? Mate of mine sold one about 8 months ago, setup in the rear looks very much the same..

                Was the foam filter catching on fire the start of the issue for the RX-7?

                  I think the start of the issue was having a rotor :D

                        nice photos sketchy.
                        it'll be interesting to see how your car corners with the extra weight out the front once the suspension is sorted for it.

                        is that 4 door RB25 one this one for sale?

                              May be using Ground Control coilovers which utilise the stock struts after talking to RX, bit spendy for what they are howver so will keep you posted.
