Could it be one of those brake cover thingys ? Cause these days u can purchase a brake cover to make it look like brembos, ap, wilwood etc. Cause from far they seem to look real.

that was the one!

interior was nice, and the big brakes + rims is what caught my eye, but upon further inspection i saw the mis-matched calipers..

and they were real keefy.. they were huge, and real.

(getting up at 5:30am on a monday for work sucks :))

While I didn't think the show was worth the $16 entry fee I still thought the show was OK. I loved the turbo charged NSX on display, but my favourite was XSpeed's NSX with the carbon fibre body kit. Sooo cool! I was a bit dissapointed in the turn out of Supras; the ads I've heard state that there are 'Supras' but there was only one (which I'd seen before, maybe it was just on the day that I went). I also loved the Evo IX's that were there (even though they were mainly stock) and the few RX7's that turned up were pretty cool.

speaking of car shows, whens auto salon, is sauwa putin a display in this year...

SAUWA has entered AutoSalon for the last few years, and will continue to do so if there is sufficient interest from the club members. Entering car shows requires alot of time and effort to organise, not to mention the cost.

We haven't entered Autoteknica this year as AutoSalon isn't far away, and seems to get a better showing, but if people are interested in showing there cars for future events then feel free to PM me your interest. SAUWA will happily support it's members entering any of the shows/comps providing there is enough interest.

Cheers

She's not stock, currently pushing 362RWHP which is lotsa fun for a street car.

BTW sorry about posting on a Skyline orientated site, you guys have some insane rides here.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
