Mon Sep 22, 2008 3:21 am

Im in the process of uploading a selection for the moment, more to follow after this first upload which I am currently doing. It could fail as my FTP program usually gives up but should be up if they are not already by around 2pm.

please direct your browser to :- www.ThroughTheEye.co.uk then follow to the events page.

That Jet car is deafening from 15ft away, did anybody see the windows on the building to the left of it, shaking like crazy. At one point it got so loud I had to put the camera down to cover my ears!

Thanks all!

Rich

Ps - That was some great drifiting from Michael Gaynor in the E30!

Thanks

First time it actually ran properly with it's current suspension as I had a smashed in fuel tank, now it has an Al'Quaeda style homebrew Sierra fuel tank installation. Thankfully I didn't blow up

Now time to find a proper tank and swirl pot etc.

I snapped a driveshaft on the drift track hense parking on the e30zone stand, although thinking about it my passenger mate might be right, it may have just pulled the splines out of the diff so with a mallet it might work again hooray. Shoulda really tried it at the drift area so I could get used to the car properly and give some nissans some crap!

Jhonno, risking your camera by taking shots of my turd and me in the same shot, you brave brave man. You car looked stunning, good to finally see it at a meet.

Mon Sep 22, 2008 10:21 am

Best meet evAr - free tea & biscuits! But how ****ing loud was the jet car from right by the start line?!

Far too many people that I should have said hello to, but didn't manage to - sorry!

Had a superb weekend, weather could not have been better. Been a while since I've been in an E30 that actually moves lol. Omi's M52'd cracker got us there and back with no problems at all. Car runs sweet dude.

I only took a handfull of pics sadly, got a few poor quality videos too.

We spotted a nice track prepared 325 on a trailer before we even got off of my estate

Arrived about 4 ish on Saturday afternoon and quickly got base camp set up with the other deviants

As night fell the portable BBQ became the camp fire, apologies if we smoked everyone else out

As the booze flowed, the stories and songs came out "If you like Pina Colada"

JonBMW & Andyboy complete with Bishop's Finger

Couple of shots of DanThe's moredoor 328

My brother's rat Supra about to be well & truly served

Here's a few videos, taken on poxy digi cam so not that good

Dan's 328 sorting out a dirty-six

Nelly & Zaust

Omi's 328 v Turbo'd E30

Barry's S50 Touring

As said already, a quality meet, tonnes of people I didn't get round to seeing, but we may have another addition to the fold, my brother has seen the light and after getting shut down by most things on the strip in his grotty supra, he's decided to look for an E30 for a new home for the supra engine

Oh I didn't realise you were a zoner. I was the tall guy in glasses going on about your dials. If you don't mind telling where di you get them from.made? As my white dials are more of a cream rather than the Alpine white like yours

My few:

316i vs M3

One for the family album

Mon Sep 22, 2008 4:27 pm

Jamie, was the clutch slipping on the old man's M3?

I've got a vid of you doing a pass in your touring if you want it?

Mon Sep 22, 2008 4:29 pm

As above, something looked wrong on one of the runs. No gears or no clutch it looked like? But I swear it ran ok later on in the day.

Lee that video is going to be far to long and big for the likes of Youtube

Mon Sep 22, 2008 4:30 pm

Yes please Lee.

Yep, the clutch is on its last legs.

I took it down the strip a couple of times and would get clutch slip through every gear.

Fastest time was 14.6 with lots of clutch slip.
