Thanks for the post. How would one steal a 2006 550i? I suspect they managed to get the key or tow it?

Quick Update- Driving at the Taupo Trackday - http://vimeo.com/28877615 Driving in my first race ever at the Ice Breaker meeting - http://vimeo.com/32833168 Have got a set of style 5's to go on the car this weekend and will take some pics and upload next week.

I really like the design of the rear wing...

Your such a wheel whore Josh, why do you need so many wheels.

It ran off into the bush but I think it was ok as it was a pretty slow impact.

removed the style 5's for the racecar and put on Aprils old 850i wheels..... Also had to give it a clean after a drive to Napier which also resulted in a wild Pig charging at the car head on. Only damage was a bent number plate and broken surround

HB Mark

I had the standard pedal box without a booster and it was a mission to stop the car because the pedal was so heavy, then I got a proper pedal box and it fixed it. As it is a racecar I am using race pads with standard rotors.

This is what I run in my e30 and it has awesome stopping power and balance.

After doing the last Hampton Round on a set that had blisters down to the canvas and have done 60+ heat cycles I don't want to risk taking them out onto the track again, does anyone have a source for some cheap NZV8's slicks? I was going to get a new set but I bought a house which has slashed my racecar budget

Gavin managed to get 200kw out of my S50b32 to, must be his special mapping skills.

From my experience Gavins dyno reads slightly lower but if you tell him that he responds with saying his one "reads right"

Happy Birthday Glenn, from James and the team

pm'd, hope its not to late

do want, though they might not make it under the guard of the race car

Happy Birthday Josh

They will be et25 with the 1" lips which should be fine, you might get a little rub on the inside rear wheels if the tyres have rash protectors. I have a set of RS001's with tyres that wont rub if you are keen.

next level.

I have blown two headgaskets on my s50b32 and both times it made no sense at all and never smoked. The only way I know it has blown the headgasket is when it over heats when revving over ~5500. Also if the plugs are dirty the S50 really struggles to idle. My S50 sounds like a rotor with dirty plugs.

Spent the day knocking down the drug room in the garage to make way for the 540i

Bought a 540i and drove it back from wellington, its practically a new car inside and out with no problems. I took some quick pics to give an idea of what it looks like but am yet to get some good pics....

I was about 20C hotter than normal for a trackday, must have been a hot day.

I get the same problem with the racecar field and had to get one of the admins to change it.

It took months before it became just another car and every time I drive it I get giggles I don't think it was built for any reason at all but to see how many features they could pack into a Kei Car.

It will actually goto 210km/h quite happily. It was a Kei car requirement that the speedo only goes to 120km/h Its actually not that bad, being a manual steering rack you feel in control. I feel more scared driving my dad's V12 Jag at 100km/h as it seems to move all over the road. edit - Also add in the fact the roads seem a lot wider as it only takes up about half a lane.
