After the great successes of the last couple of meets, I was certainly looking forward to April’s JDMST meet. I decided to change up the location a bit to cater for our southern friends from the Gold Coast and Toowoomba, so I chose Springwood as our meet spot. While the lighting wasn’t quite as good as Carseldine, the open-air carpark with shade sails certainly had a different (but nice) atmosphere.
No sponsors this time, just cars and friends. Despite this, and the rainy weather, hundreds rocked up!
Let’s kick it off this month with a couple of images of the masses.
A white R33 GTR on special edition Rays TE37s, and significant engine work.
This slammed S13 rolled in and people stopped in their tracks. Check out the widened steelies.
GTi-R on some original wheels.
Chris brought the FD RX7 club, which had a decent showing once again.
Repping Downshift. Yeah.
Loving this widebody FD!
A bunch of 10 or so awesome little Daihatsu Miras rocked up, and took up about 1.5 parking spaces in total. So cool, they made everyone smile!
Some of them were turbo! Are these classified as Kei cars?
Lots of youngins came along (even a couple of babies!). Nice to see the new generations growing up with cars :)
Zak from StreetKarnage with his ever-evolving Volvo, paying homage to Mike Burroughs’ BMW. RIP.
It fit right in with a few of the old school cars at the meet. Having owned a couple of older cars, I was loving these rides not just for their classic look, but because I know the effort it takes to daily them. Repairs, maintenance, no mod-cons, huge fuel bills, the list is endless why you shouldn’t have one.
Bit of a contrast from modern JDM!
The intense green of a Focus RS.
Last but not least, Gus’ BNR32 GT-R. Always good seeing this beast at JDMST.
Next month I’m heading to Vietnam so we might take a break; see you in June! -M
