I went once about 3 years ago. Never again.

Autosalon could be soooo much better if they put a bit more thought into catering for the more broader car enthusiast community. People who actually take pride in tastefully modifying their cars. Rather than cheap and nasty jobs that makes you laugh and just wonder..........why?

Ive never seen so many pink charades and gold plated corollas in my life.

Popped collars and Adidas bum bags is the dress code too :(

dave thats so last year, i believe fake oriton man purses + g-star raw singlets are the new dress code :D

but in all seriousness, autosalon has been a joke for a long time now... anyone with a real car with some actual wrench time under the hood in a tasteful jdm styled car simply gets shunned in favor of some chopjob lexus dumped on chromies..

What we would call tastefully modified is someone elses boring

some people just get attracted to shiny things :D

I remember the one autosalon I went to (4 or 5 years ago) there were 3 R32 GTRs owned by autostyle. No bling wheels, no bodykits/neons, stock paint & their hoods open with quite a bit of work done to them.

My friend & I were drooling over them & taking pics but everyone else was ignoring them for all the candy painted lancers

it wasn't until they put them on the dyno & pulled 600+awkw that there was a big crowd around the GTRs :ermm:

says quite a bit about the type of crowd that attends these things

the people who enter this abomination they call a car show never drive there cars either, stones might flip up n hit one of their 16 under car tvs whcich they watch on a regular basis.

real cars get driven not put away in an air tight room where no spec of dust can get on it

all u need to enter and draw a crowd is a body kit non stadard paint n oversized chrome wheels

When i went 4 years ago, i was 18. Even back then i thought it was sh!t.

Nobody cares for big powah GTR's or any car that looks standard besides JDM wheels. Until it hits the dyno and blows flames in there face and then they go "Zomg Fast and the furious is true!" and really all they drool over is the T88 turbo not even knowing what it is there for.

Oh - The year i went, DREMPT was there with his fake intercooler and not even any plumbing for it. Exposed end tanks FTL.

I admire clubs that go there to get exposure though the cars they show maybe not to everyones taste at least they are trying to get there name out there. I suppose.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
