Help with theme for PAS Autosalon

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Hi Guys,

As many of you know we are planning an SAU entry into this years PAS Wester Salon (if you don't, read the Events section).

We have decided to go for a race theme and although we have a number of ideas we would like your input into what things you would like to see us do.

We all have our likes and dislike so please tell us what yours are so we can try and make it an impressive display.

So please help us by letting us know what ideas you have, along the lines of a race theme.

How about a TV/monitor next to each of the display cars showing someone like gtrken (or other talented driver) giving that particular car a little work out at a trackday or mc day or summit?

I would like to see what a car can do, not often you can tell what a car can go like by how it sits in a paddock.

Jon,

Thanks for that, we were planing either a TV or projector with footage from gtrken, MC Motorsport day, cruises etc. We're not sure if the lighting will allow for a projector on not.

-have like parts scattering around ( just like pitts)

-some sorta "fake" burnout marks on the floors

-make Ken the feature driver so ppl can ask questions about the gtr engine and such(with full racing suit)

[SHUTO-BOY]

a big professional tool box would look good too (just like snap-on tools)

[PSIKO]

- a rear projector will sort out lighting issues

- get a large banner made up obviously

- put on your shirts and make sure the entered cars have the sau stickers

- get one guy whose skyline is more music orientated and crank the tunes

- have a track day or something befor ethe auto salon and enter the cars, and like jon said gets vids from them, and pics (otherwise you might have ricer theme with pauls car )

forget fake, someone sneak in the night before and cover the SAU area in helis

I have a LCD projector you could use but it's probably not bright enough for outdoors, only 800 or 1000 lumens (i forget which).

Let me know if you need it though.

just an idea similar to shuto-boy's.

-have it set up like a pit lane etc with fuel drums (empty) and pump and stuff like that if you can get it.

-would look cool if you could get an rb engine on its own and have ken or someone work on it all the time like a mechanical display thingo.

bit far out there but there you go....

i am with epoch and aidwin, i was thinkin of like pits, or a garage with parts and tools around the place and we should make it look like nick's car is up on a hoist and shit , and if we feel really cool have sau overalls so we look like mechanics hehehehe

I have seen a display at one car show that use the corner of a race track (made to look like one) with the cars mount with two wheels on the ripple strip, looked great and would be easy to do, maybe could have a pits setup as well. I will keep thinking.

[ix9]

"race" theme is good....

maybe some cars getting thier wheels changed (showing off thier big brakes???? anyone)

i like the "pits" idea too... bit different....

[APA]

haha off the topic here but strich i love the sig u have about the pods hahahahahaha

Have lots of tyres stacked up everywhere you can make it really interesting by having a smoke machine or lights inside a stack of tyres so you get smoke coming out the top

Also seeing as this is pretty far away maybe by then you could have that SAU jacket idea done up so everyone has a cool racing jacket on! thatd really show every1 how its done!

Heyas

i really don't think a projector is a good idea, due to light issues... if not your own then everyone elses that has lights all over their display it really will be lit up a lot.... at cabin there was one projector display for lextc but he had it in a fully sheltered cloth tent so people could see the projector.

maybe if you had a few black sheets to surround the projector and the screen to block out light....?

monitors or always nice and easy.... James Mandy owner of PULSSSAR has always used a nice monitor with a power point presentation... goes down VERY well with the judges it outlays what he has done inthe builds and how he has done it...

[G0DF4Th3R]

i think most importantly is the SAU banner and the people in their SAU t-shirts and stickers and jackets etc...fancy displays may not be remembered but SAU must be permanently imprinted in the minds of all showgoers

also Adrian giving out Nandos chicken with Aidwin dressed as Party Boy Japan

It'd be good to have a car jacked up, with one of the front wheels or back wheels off, depending how its positioned, then polish up the brakes or show something off there.

But pit lane or garage sounds gooooood.

Guys,

I'd be making sure it was in a decent venue for starters - No point if its going to be fuctup like it was last year.
