Yeah I noticed that too, We had the black stagea on Ferahs stand, we had it washed and polished at 12.00 Friday then went on to drive to the setup only to have the car covered in sh!t when the rain came

We had to basically rinse the car off with a chamois inside the salon then re polish it, it was a pain in the ass. But the car turned out ok in the end

did any of u guys get told of by security 4 filling up buckets of water so we could rinse and chamois the cars down to clean them up a bit?

had that old man with the glasses and the messed up long wavey look telling us we couldnt fill up any buckets.. ignorance is bliss as i walked past him

[LiQuid IcE]

that stagea was SHINY!! my parents loved it since my mum has one. You inspired a 50 year old curry lady to modify her ride now! We spent more time looking at your car than the other $$$$ cars there.

I reckon it sucked that the people that came saturday had to pay again on sunday to come. We didn't have enough buddy passes to go around and some of the people that came to support us had to spend $50 out of their own pockets.

Na I just kept walking past them getting more water with no probs.

The clown in the torn up leather jacket however, I had a few run ins with him over the weekend, he though he was a hero in that jacket LoL.. I just kept ignoring and or laughing at him..

I know what you mean, on the registration form it sounded like there would be two buddy passes for each person who entered. I was lucky to get one of the buddy passes for my mate on saturday from Alisia for $35.

And LoL @ "inspired a 50 year old curry lady to modify her ride now" we are just doing our bit for the modified comunity LoL.

[Mohsen]

mmm buddy passes...

i guess its a good thing i got a chicks number on the train whos cousin or relo wateva had his car there.

she reckons she can get me n my mate buddy passes heh

i didnt see the guy in the torn up jacket but i laughed when those 12 yr olds behind us on the dyno stand were comparing the cars there to the cars from 2f2f

and who else felt like vomiting after seeing the 2f2f themed R34

seriously WHO THE FU(K WOULD DO THAT?

he even had the movie playing on one of the screens!

[Damo_c]

I went yesterday, it want that bad, good mix of cars. Just before the gtr came out a supra was on the dyno when i got there and it had sucked in a t shirt through the inlets and still ran about 580kw, then after it was removed it only ran just over 600, i want too impressed. Then the gtr came out, the traction control kept kicking, something to do with the too much torque to easily so it would go into a limp mode, even with the haltech comp. Then when they did get it going it didnt sound too good, honestly it didnt even sound like it was getting anywhere near 4000rpm, Obviosly it was, i cant rem what they got it up to but it ran bugger all on the first run and hit 366kw, i shit myself thinking my car is not even anywhere near that, almost double hahaha. You caould tell it had soooo much more to give. Ill post up the movie of the gtr shortly seeing as no1 has put it up.

LoLZ at dezz's post with the massive booty chick pictures!!!

Aaaahhhhahahahaha shes a stunna!

[R-SPEC]

hmm i still fail to see how any of those cars are "show cars"

bag the lebs with the airbrushed rexies all you want but atleast they are proper "show cars", which is what your supposed to see at this event...

i thought a "show car" is supposed to have every bit of it upgraded/changed. most the cars at autosalon now are just stockies with nice rims/kits on em.

interior/paint/engine isnt even touched

if i went to a show like this i'd wanna see things that i dont usually see on the road...

its all gone downhill.

anyone get any pics of an actual show car? (yes im talking about airbrushed leb-spec wrx's with bling)

Went to MAS yesterday (Sat) to see what was new. Ran not Al there with his car with EAS and their usual green and red monsters. Not sure what they made on the dyno though. The number of cars were down for the year as a lot of the car clubs didn't' really show this year. I think I saw MelbS15, Agentz, TeamIgnite and a couple other smaller clubs but all the Indos, Evolve and a few others were no shows. Old cars like the PETIR Celica, Teken RX7, the hot red RX7 (who has been there for many years but I can't remember the name) were all there as were some other cars which had been rebirthed. There were a fair few new cars though which were turning heads. Buggered if I remember them coz I think I'm just getting too old for it. Even the models there this time round were only average. Didn't see any particularly hot models like you usually would in years gone by. Even walked round looking for Sandra to brighten up my day but she wasn't even there. What gives San? You said to drop past and you were a no show-er

Speaking of NOSHOW. Donny wasn't even there with his S15 or Ferrari or anything. Word has it that the last time he came to MAS, he demand King of AutoSalon even before the show and when AutoSalon told him to GAGF and earn it, he hasn't been back since. Seems like money can't buy anything...

are you indo too? yea some of the indo guys don't even bother to enter the autosalon again, since most of them have finished their study here. but i think don's s15 'MYSHOW' deserved some credit back then...

PICS!

[shanusr33]

Oh crap i just jumped online to upload a pic of my car and i have to follow those comments? Damn, i'm gonna look stupid now if you dont think this is a show car but oh well, its something i've worked on myself and pretty pleased that i made a car mag (hot4's) and won 3 trophies out of 3 car shows and now i can retire i've had enough lol.

As far as the rest of the show, i actually really enjoyed myself. the quality of the cars was better than mas 2007 (both shows) but not the girls and nothing beats the final battle i went to in sydney last december, but it was alright. i guess i liked it more this year cause i know more people and was busy most the time and enjoyed catching up with everyone etc.

[Leewah]

I've been called a lot of things but Indo ain't one of them Donny's NOSHOW S15 deserves credit for being creative but if you ever looked at that car closely, you would have noticed how shoddy some of the body and paint work were. From a distance, it looked "cool" and original but up close, it was very average IMO considering how much he spent on it.

Nah, I'm just another old skool SAUer and FangArtist who enjoyed the days gone by when we pwned MAS each year we were there. Back in 04, we took out every dyno trophy except the FWD trophy. and set national records for 4 cylinder RWD, 6 cylinder RWD, 6 cylinder AWD and Outright Power. Ahhh, those were the days.

Things are just a bit repetitive now with most of the cars coming back looking the same.

Show cars to me come in all different shapes, sizes and colours. I respect the airbrushing which go on the top shelf cars as that is an art form and represents a show car. I also respect the time, effort and money which go into the dyno cars or the DB cars as I've been there and done that. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and people will always argue what is cool and what isn't. That's what makes shows like AutoSalon unique and diverse. Having said that though, stupid mullet haircuts with tinting through the fringe will always be stupid. I wonder why so many people think it's cool?

[MP_R33]

[jakez88]

tell that girl to get off the hood of that car man!...if that was my car i'd be pissed...those heels look dangerous to the paint lolz
