Autosalon is fast approaching (Aug). I was just wondering whether anyone was going to enter etc. I have found the last few rounds in Adelaide a bit disappointing mellow.gif What do you think?

What sorta car do you have and is it going to be ready in time for the show?? Cause I think I'm running out of time as ususal!! ohmy.gif
Entering with a club or as an individual?

Hey...you can display your AE86. We'll stick an anthems sticker on the back and there's your mod.

But seriously, I'd be keen to check out the quality of cars after being disappointed in previous events.

Well I'll definitely be going.

I reckon next year Ace should enter his car smile.gif Just for the fun of it laugh.gif He likes showing off and all. Just needs his Apexi Power FC Computer and his mods are pretty much complete as far as under the bonnet goes.

And I reckon our mate Ben should enter his VN Commie. He's spent in access of $80k on mods. Looks f*cking sweet as!

80k on a VN? wtf?
{Bunny}
Just some of Ben's mods. Keep in mind these pictures are OLD as!

He has since got his door handles and some other stuff chromed.

And anything you see under the hood that's shining, that's 100% chrome baby!

This bad boy also has the BIGGEST cam shaft possible.

He had to rip out the airconditioning gear to make room for his mods laugh.gif

And that's just a few of them.

Trust me, this thing FLIES. And Ben, knows how to drive winksmiley02.gif

I like my creature comforts too much.

Harley
Knowing how to drive still doesnt stop accidents tho

Still a nice car. Looks the goods.
{Bunny}
No accidents recorded thus far smile.gif

Apparently he wants to blow the motor up so he can put a BIGGER one in there laugh.gif
Harley

waylander_jobby
not entering, my falcons a little too stock looking, if theres a dirty car segment then im in tongue.gif otherwise lol ill just be going to have a looksy around. hopefully ittle be better than the last few years, they haven't really been worth the entry fee.
Harley
proberlly wont go. Been to way to many car shows and they seem to get worse every year and the price goes up. But in saying that i might end up going there with a few mates and checking out the machines
Aska
Yeah they are costing an arm and leg these days just to go see these shows sad.gif
Particularly when the shows aren't that great I sorta end up regreting I paid that much!
KandiRaver
I remember when it used to be $9 (i'm sure!?!)
scattered
I will be going for sure! but not entering as I sold the Lancer earlier this year...

However, next year we wil have our new car ready and most likely enter that!!
Sangr
How come it gets more and more expensive every year?? The tickets are almost costing as much as a Gold Class cinema ticket.
Askar
Beats me, maybe they are not getting enough $$ from the actual entrants. but i doubt that!!
I put it down to greed! hehe
waylander_jobbyr
ha ha second that.
Askar
Im not competing this year, its too much of a rush and id rather do a good job instead of a rushed job. Oh well. Next time. sad.gif
Still going to check it out biggrin.gif Just for the hell of it!!
Sangr
I'll be going despite the price. I just want to see if that Subie with the suicide doors will be there
Askar
suicide doors?? which one is that?
is it a local car?
Askar
Well I went to help set up last night and I realise there was no real atmosphere there (not open to public, no music or girls etc) but most of the cars were fairly ordinary... Some where really nice by the same token but I wouldnt waste my weekend checking it out...

Well I cant go, now that I've gone and blown $6400 over the last 3 days thumbsupsmiley.png
waylander_jobbyr
apparently was ok, according to my bro but certainly wasn't worth the money.
KandiRaver
Me, Calvin and his mate Mark went. We got $5 discount from the net (woo-hoo) so can't complain to much for $13.

It wasn't the greatest.. and i'm sure it used to be alot bigger. Therer were a couple of good cars there.. impressive paint jobs etc.. but most were pretty standard Skylines that you'd see on the road's everyday...

Pictures... (some pictures may be a bit dodgy because of the flash and having to brighten the photos)

Audio Mini.. completely over the top! lol
