Melbourne Autosalon - 28/29 August 2010

[R31Nismoid]

A group of us are going this Saturday.

Is the parking for spectators under gound / covered?

Its the showgrounds - street parking only.

And given the housing commission flats basically across the road, i'd be parking behind the showgrounds, behind ascot vale leisure centre etc.

Nowhere near the Union rd/flats area. (have a look @ melways to work it out).

Ok no worries!

Also, i think it would be better to take public transport as past experience of driveways there means very bad for very low cars.

[slinky-minky]

Does anyone know how much it costs to get in??? Am thinking about going down.

[THR34T]

about $25

[THR34T]

What's the best day and time to go do you recon?

[krzysiu]

I'm in the comp and I have no idea man. I'm guessing you want to come when the models are on stage?

Just came back from it, Tickets were $29 for adults, $15 for under15, and $60 for family (2 adults and 2 children).

It was my first Autosalon so i cant compare it to previous ones, but i cant say that i was overly impressed.

It was majority JDM cars, which i was pleased about......as for the dyno, out of the 7 cars i saw take a punt i was really impressed with the

2.0L 180sx which had a "Chasers" decal on the front windshield which hit 500.9kw @ the rear wheels.

i enjoyed the CR33M R33 gts-t which got around 270kw i thiiiink (not sure) as it was the only SAU member i saw.

others were a Shelby GT500 which if i remember correctly hit around 330-360kw

and the one i cant forget, a Honda CR-X which hit an amazing 75kw!! -.-
