If you drove a camry, you'd hate everyone who drove a skyline too :happy:

LOL

Going to the show today Andy? A bunch of us are meeting beforehand at 12 ... can PM you the details.

hey sorry Rubes - I only just saw your post today. Nah mate, I headed in on Saturday .... I assume you were just as unimpressed on Sunday, as I was on Saturday. Ordinary show! Without the trade stands and their cars there, there would have been under 50 entrants .... poor.

I just can't believe that Honda Accord Euro with a set of chrome rims being in the show - WTF????

well hopefully these low numbers at auto salon are an indicator of australia having a declining taste in fast and the furious cars with stripes and shiny rims :happy:

would love to see a auto salon with all strip/drift/track cars + mean street cars

well unfortunately autosalon is what it is, like it or loathe it. i honestly don't see autosalon being here next year due to lack of interest. jdm styling however can be seen at small car sunday, all japan day, extreme horsepower, SMASA etc

+999999999999 for AJD.

I've plugged AJD enough, I think.

Matte finish ftw on that S15 and Stagea!

We went down and had a look on sunday, and also werent that impressed with what was on show, but i think theres more to it than just loss of interest on entrants behalfs.

From my point of view, i didnt enter this year because of the time involved, having to work late on friday and then saturday aswell it wasnt going to be a viable option for me to enter. The other thing i think is a bit rich is the cost of entering, really, the entrants are the ones bringing the "entertainment" to the show, i dont see why the entrants should have to pay to enter, i think the spectators entry fee should more than cover the costs of the whole set up.

In my opinion i think the reason for the decline in entry numbers in adelaide has more to do with the fact of our increasingly anal transport laws making it harder to own and drive a nice looking car without being defected, most people these days probably think "why bother". With the different laws in different states it makes it easier for them to mod cars without getting bent over for it.

Another reason also once again being associated with our transport department with the defect station that was set up out side of autosalon, thats a definite way of putting off spectators "come see the awesome display of cars, and get defected on your way out!" theres a deal.....

Where was the Defect station? I cruised down on Saturday along Goodwood road and never saw a station? I was @ the Salon from 10am til about 3pm

I'm so fed up with the cops targeting car events. Even track events where we're doing what they asked and "take it onto the track" yet we still get pinged. You don't see them targetting footy events?!

Pathetic SAPOL. Down right pathetic.

It's a fight we'll never win.

There was a station on leader street (exhibitor carpark), and two apparenty outside of the main exits on Rose Terrace.

Yep, and as soon as it started to rain they packed up (OH&S) so luckily I avoided them ok...

I agree with grims point about the entry fee and all that, in total it cost me around $200 for the weekend... money that could have been better spent elsewhere....having said that, it was a nice experience for a first timer, even if it was a bit boring to be there... and I didn't even go in on the Sat...

and damo, how come no pics of my car? hate on for the r32? :happy:

oh and andrew, if u cant believe the honda accord, how about that fooly sik VW Golf with a massive 50kw with a f**king smoke machine inside it. how bloody lame can u get...

-D

That couldnt of been as bad as the banged up old Magna... you look at the Mitsubishi stand and it goes something like - evo, evo, evo.... banged up old Magna... evo evo... lol

Small Car Sunday > Autosalon

think everyones already said it, but autosalon was a big let down this year, was pretty crap actually. Way less cars than last year, pretty boring displays.. overall pretty average.

Best part about it was catching up with people I hadnt seen in a while.. shaun, PK, cara, martin etc.. Was good to see u guys :thumbsup:

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
