[shonen]

haha 2GU UP 2......nice colour scheme you got going there...

im going candy red at the end of the year as well....or sometime early next year......and most prob get a cf bonnet too....but dont worry our rims will differentiate the two cars

also its going to be a meguairs candy red so different shade.....

either way we should display our two cars together......

[retrotec]

After putting all that time and $ into the cars, are you going to actually drive it ? or are you afraid you will get stone chips?

you must be so close minded, everyone knows the sas is full of shit but there's also alot of quality and individuality, unfortunatly its not going to please everyone but these events also have to be supported to make sure the car culture lives on.

lol.. been called a few things.. never closed minded. Can see how my post implies that I am.

I suppose that everytime this show is on I have friends and colleages who go and always say there is nothing to see. So I just write it off. I would rather go down to watch GT production or something else.

Sure they are part of car culture, but not a car culture that I am part of. I would rather go to the track and support that part of car culture, which I am part of.

Make sense?

also.. would a close minded guy buy a plane ticket and go to japan to see tokyo autosalon?

[JD_R33]

For those of us out-of-towners considering the long drive up the highway, is it cars only, or are there exhibitors flogging off performance bits as well?

[franks]

carlo dude,

i dont think you're being "close minded" i just think, as you have admitted yourself, you're being unappreciative of a different car culture - not that there is anything wrong with that (its okay Shonen, i'm sure Carlo thinks your meguirs red isn't ricey....)

however, comparing Autosalon to TAS is like comparing apples to oranges and i do think this is a little....ummm how do i put it ........ wrong???

of course you are going to like TAS because you're into performance cars and thats what TAS is mostly about - but, at the end of the day TAS is just a glittered up and glorified aftermarket car parts bizarre for manufacturers like HKS, Apexi, Jun, etc etc under 9 big roofs!!!

ie. i dont see the difference between reading an Option magazine and walking through 9 halls of stationery cars apart from the fact the cars are alot cleaner and there a shitload more race queens!!!

in any case, i dont quite agree with what you say about autosalon - i do believe the autosalon cars ARE bleeding edge for what THEY WANT to achieve (and this definately extends to more than a pretty paint job) and its certainly the same case for the cars at TAS, where the manufacturers cars are definately bleeding edge in what THEY want to achieve (read: promote). i mean, fark. a carbon fibre bodied Evoluion 8 Lancer from HKS....drool!!! i might not buy the body kit, but fark, i'll buy a turbo off them!

[shonen]

oi franks for the last time candy red isnt ricey !!!

2GU UP 2

most prob queen st will be doing the job and yeah its House of Kolor candy red.

[franks]

hehehe. ok.

but just remember, if its not black, im not buying it when i get back

and you know what they say about the black......you never go back.

[shonen]

oh come on give me a break......its black right now.......my next car will be black also.....

I mean if im going for a full respray anyways might as well try a different colour......

hahaha youll change your mind once you see it in candy red....

If I DO stay black....its not going to be a nissan black.......there is a paint called "Special Black" and its the BLACKEST black you can buy....no blue or purple tinge just pure black.

[franks]

oh thats right, you're doing the candy apple red thing for autosalon right?

kekeke

[shonen]

no its cause I wanna try something different if im going to go for a full respray anyways...

shut up frank !!!!! get back to work !!

[franks]

hahaha....sorry for the post whoring all, i just like hassling shonen

[Dahtone Racing]

[GRUNTN]

[williamsf1]

airbrushed car's should be banned from the road.....

I won't be going to SAS as it is 90% show, and 10% go.... now TAS is where I will be next year!

Bling and crome should be left to a watch! not on a car.....
