The track theme sounds good.

Heres another.

we could make the flooring look like the streets of japan.

IE:we park our cars next to fake painted cardboard gutters with jap looking light poles and signs.

Or you could do a workshop theme drive the cars up on ramps.The only thing is those of us with low front bars.EEK.And use empty toolboxes scattered arround.empty oil,funnels.a shifter etc..

I think the track theme is good but not as practical as the workshop theme. it is alot easier to set up the workshop, have a few car of stands, a few of those big red tool boxes, scattered tool, those massive oil tins, funnels, sparkies, leads scattered, even those big industrial fans, ppl could dress in overalls, also those big jacks, those sliding boards you lay on, cant think what they're called.....

my 2 cents....'

good luck guys.....i c u all out there

Hi, Those sliding boards are creepers.

I used to be a mechanic and have a Big Red Toolbox ful of tools. I dont know a lot of what you all are planing, the only thing, my tool box is a Snap-on limited edition HRT one. Would be more than happy to help out the SAU stand if needed. Let me know!

If you need a pic of it i can get one!

what sayem at the meeting we talk about it.

Hi all - i guess if we all post a few ideas before sundays meeting we'll have a clearer picture of what people are thinking about etc - i personally think that we should steer well clear of a theme & simply display the cars as a part of SKYLINES AUSTRALIA CAR CLUB - keeping it simple with Skylines Australia banners flags etc & let the cars speak for themselves - i have never seen a "theme" at auto salon doesnt look "tacky & cheap" - well for sports cars anyway - (neons & chrome chequerplate & fluffy stuff & mirror balls & playtstations & tv's - can all be a bit "FLASHY" for a sportscar !!) - even toolboxes & tools everywhere could be too much!! - i always believed that pauls original idea was to display a good selection of well set up & excellently presented sports cars - this kind of approach in my opinion shows "class & style" - i couldnt imagine that a theme would do anything other than detract from the cars !! - well thats my 5 cents worth - im happy to be out voted on the day of the meeting but nevertheless need to put my thoughts across - see you all next sunday at chillies - cheers malcolm :(

I also would like to keep this autosalon simple and just display the cars and make ourselves known by the banner and other SAU items around the display...and let the cars do the do the showing as there are many other Autosalon to come that we can get bigger and better as we go along.

Thats my 2 cents aswell

:(

Hot looking women could dress in overalls, also those big jacks, those sliding boards you lay on, cant think what they're called.....

ok - so maybe that is a bit sexest - but it is a car show....

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
