Could it be one of those brake cover thingys ? Cause these days u can purchase a brake cover to make it look like brembos, ap, wilwood etc. Cause from far they seem to look real.

that was the one!

interior was nice, and the big brakes + rims is what caught my eye, but upon further inspection i saw the mis-matched calipers..

and they were real keefy.. they were huge, and real.

(getting up at 5:30am on a monday for work sucks :))

While I didn't think the show was worth the $16 entry fee I still thought the show was OK. I loved the turbo charged NSX on display, but my favourite was XSpeed's NSX with the carbon fibre body kit. Sooo cool! I was a bit dissapointed in the turn out of Supras; the ads I've heard state that there are 'Supras' but there was only one (which I'd seen before, maybe it was just on the day that I went). I also loved the Evo IX's that were there (even though they were mainly stock) and the few RX7's that turned up were pretty cool.

speaking of car shows, whens auto salon, is sauwa putin a display in this year...

SAUWA has entered AutoSalon for the last few years, and will continue to do so if there is sufficient interest from the club members. Entering car shows requires alot of time and effort to organise, not to mention the cost.

We haven't entered Autoteknica this year as AutoSalon isn't far away, and seems to get a better showing, but if people are interested in showing there cars for future events then feel free to PM me your interest. SAUWA will happily support it's members entering any of the shows/comps providing there is enough interest.

Cheers

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
