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

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
