Castro Motorsport Heads to MFest 2012 - LOTS OF PICS!

[e30polak]

So I haven't had much time this week to sift through and edit/adjust the 1200 photos I took of our customer cars at MFest last weekend, but here goes. MFest didn't turn out quite as planned for us this year, but we're happy with the turnout and we will be coming in full force next year!

We did not go with the caravan to Vegas, instead we went later in the day on Friday, since it worked out better for everyone's schedule. Kyle (orcgrinder) showed up first to the shop, so I snapped a few pics of his stanced, turbo e30 named "Crunchy Bleach" that we built over a year ago.

Here's a link to the build thread on Kyle's car: http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=25928













Showing up fashionably late was Richard - member rao, in his stanced, turbo '95 M3 that we recently finished building. Full build thread coming soon!




Happy customer, enjoying his 450whp monster.

Gera, Chris Castro's sister's Dinan supercharged, s50 e30 vert, was almost ready to go, so I took a few shots.









Grouping up and filing out of LA!






I rode with Kyle for the first part of the drive





His car has so much character, I love it!




Gotta love the beautiful SoCal weather, for a nice Friday drive to Vegas!





Tried out rolling shots for my first time with the new camera. definitely need some more practice!

Unfortunately we hit some steady traffic heading out of LA due to Coachella....




Made our first pit stop for food, waiting for traffic to die down a bit







Switched cars so I could get some rolling shots of Richard and Kyle's cars. I'm proud of a few of these!












Ok Kyle. it's Richard's turn!

MOAR PICTARZ!!!
















Unfortunately Gera's driveshaft joint failed on us halfway out, so Chris Castro had the car towed back. Chris fixed the car when he got back and drove back out to Vegas later that night!

Anyway, I liked the lighting so I snapped a few pics.

Pit stop for gas, Del Taco & Alien Jerky!

That's us, come by anytime!

you has e36 wheel specs?

If I remember correctly it's something like 17x9 et 2xmm, 18x10 et 20mm, 235 front 255 rear. Very aggressive, while still retaining some proper meat

Saturday morning, time for Richard’s track day at Las Vegas Motor Speedway!






Proving Grounds, damn right!




Morning Kyle




Morning Castro family






So the built differential, that took forever to get from the vendor had the wrong fluid pre-filled in it! Chris Castro never has time to relax…






Richard’s beast is good to go and ready for its first track session ever!







Back from 20 minutes of fun! (Not very happy with my pics except the last one, but whatever)








A teaser of the better shots taken at the end of the trip by my friend Jordan (who is a professional) and a few nice ones I took. Plenty more to come, so stay tuned!

I think castro customers have a thing for alpine white such as myself.

He needs to fix my 7 more often.

Thanks for helping me sell the Euro e28

John is super cool guy
