    E30 V8 Back on track!

    Went out to Ruapuna (my local track here in NZ) again yesterday for a playday. Unfourtunitly for me my brake booster seal/diaframe blew in a warm up lap earlier in the day ( booster needs a rebuild now) so i only had man power to brake......so needless to say i had bugger all brakes but still enough to have some fun as well as clean up some Turbos Jappa"s (Mazda Spirit R RX7, Nissan 200SX,Silvia,r33 GTR, and a few mr2s) and my personal favourite Porsche's, one 911 Carrera4 3.6 with a carrera cup exhaust (sounds so good) and one Caymen S so i was well chuffed with that!! Oh and cleaning up an R33 GTR on the straight!!

    There was a GT2 Porsche out there but due to various reasons we didn't get near each other all day, oh well maybe next time. I'm sure if it was pedaled well it would of totally left me in its dust anyway.

    I'm starting to get my heal toe going but due to the brakes being boosterless i couldn't heal toe particularly well because the pedal had to much travel.

    Anyway i hope you guys enjoy it, remember if you like it give me a five star

          Yip fairly near the top in fourth, its about 200kph (121mph) i could definitely pull 210kph on the straight if my brake booster was working

              I might try some duck tape to hold the mount even more secure next time. Year i quite like the placement, you can see forward quite well. Cheers

                    Personally, I like the shots from just behind the front seats where you can see the steering wheel and shifting.. as long as its good quality.
