Auto Salon: Final Battle

[NXTIME]

"It has a very bad exhaust leak!"

and,

"One of the OEM spark plug leads is misfiring!"

[morph.]

Morph you guys had a nice display over there but in the power stakes well, only 4 of our cars went on the dyno(mine managed a terribly low score btw) and we still won the club shootout

I think we both got hard done by Queen Street Racing even BEING a club as really, they are part of a business.

Oh well, there's always next time.

Our club wasn't eligible for general club prizes we were one of the 4 clubs that were in the invitational section which we only could win "club champion of the year"

as melbs15 already won club champion & club performance in Melbourne and got invited to go to Sydney to compete as a invitational qualifier and not general.

FYI club performance isn't based on just raw dyno power accumulated btw its a mixture of a few different things.

It was between Seductive motor sports, Tym 2 Go, club xc and melbs15.

As far as I know SAU wasn't part of the invitational battle.

Peace.

I'll post up more as I upload them

Thanks to everyone who took part, entered cars and generally aided the cause. We wouldn't have won the awards we did without the assistance. I had a field day just as much as everyone else and i'll gladly come back to help on the stand in June.

Marijan - mate, your R32 is a testament to hard work paying off and I was constantly awed every time I looked at it. Thank you for coming out and offering your support.

Bakes - Awesome car mate, it's one of those 34's that can only be fully appreciated in the steel rather than pictures which makes me think i've got a hard task at hand when we go to shoot it early next year.

Charlie - The gentleman's gentleman, shotgun extraordinaire and Kebab connoisseur ("You order it then turn away while he makes it, grab it, eat it and don't worry about what's in it.") . Awesome car with a wicked growl and always willing to throw in a set of hands where they were needed. You couldn't be any better at playing a team sport.

Zilch - You bring the car and the girl and i'll bring the camera. hehehe, Smooth car with power (Dyno wasn't playing ball but who cares), Props for coming out to play and burning the candle at both ends for us.

Doofy - My partner in crime, I think the weekend owes a lot to you for putting it together and running it to such a standard. So much mischief and so much fun at the same time. We'll own the show one day....one day soon. Thanks for the weekend mate. Stop by here if you're up this way sometime for a beer.

Carl - If you're reading this you've made it onto SAU and we thank you for entering with us and you are more than welcome to enter with us anytime in future. In the meantime, hope the V35 sells for the right price, because whoever buys it will own one of the finest V35's in Australia.

Jay - Audio/visual junky, Props for the lights, sounds and electrical gear. I think you should've been up there on stage instead of me. Thank you once again and pass my regards onto Borjo for his assistance with the weekend.

Dave - The Nur is such a thing of beauty and just sitting in it was a privilege for me. Good dyno result for such a car. I think Doof didn't want to get out of it after driving it either! lol. Many thanks for filling the empty space and props for the Pizza on Sunday night.

I think that's everyone. I'll post links to the galleries soon for the other 'mortals' in the show.

One last thing:

Can all entrants and helpers please PM me a postal address so I can mail out CD's with full-res photos free of charge.

[Bakes]

Free CD with High Res Pics!!! Woot Woot Your a Champ Ian.

Ive PM'd you my address.

Cheers

[DRD-00F]

I too will PM you in a sec, even though I told you last night

Oh yeah, top pics and top write up where are the rest of the pics?!

Hey gus, good to meet you on the weekend, sorry I missed this post up until now.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised at all, ITSWAR has had a SHIT TONNE of work done to it, it has a full roll cage and a beautiful interior in it... not to mention mini tubs and an engine that eats babies...Every show after set up I go up and ask them if I'll see it on the dyno this time and they always have an excuse makes me sad in my pants

Next round I hope will be pretty large. The Syndey round does find a lot of the big hitters there and it's not much different to the Final Battle round to be honest, but we can have more floor space which means more entrants and WAY more dyno time... this will be the happiest part of it several cars that couldn't make it to this, providing there is no track day on the same day, will be able to represent SAU on the dyno and show the modified car world that we mean business!

[russky]

Wow, lookings amazing. Wish my car was up to the standard to show off, lol.

[Xmetal]

The first batch of CD's are getting mailed out this Monday - i'm hoping they'll get to their respective receivers on the Wednesday.

Just some fifteen year olds that I know... want them to model next year? They should be 16 by then

[Xmetal]

Early Christmas pressies for those fellas.

[DRD-00F]

Got the CD yesterday Ian, great photos mate! thanks heaps

Dennis, man that made me laugh mate

She was keen to pose for some photos and Ian is a really good photographer, we kept all the sleazy guys away from her whenever they came near rest assured.

Glad everyone liked the display, now we just have to come up with a theme for the next one so we can win that trophy as well!
