limited spots for autosalon if you opened it up to everyone how do you pick and choose who comes and who does not?

Do you get everyone to meet in a car park on a specific day and put it to a vote of the cars that turn up?

At least that would be more democratic that what is happening at the moment.

Puresx: it does seem very Russian doesn't it.

The parking lot would deff be a better idea then just saying.. " This is who is going to rep us"

I have organised SAU stuff for a display Salon wanted organised at Mallala last year. Just asked people to PM me details of cars etc if they were interested and pics too if they had them and then picked the cars from there. Worked very well no complaints at all.

Once again, I say to my point, only ask to be involved if you believe your car is 100 percent ready. I dont think anyone, even if they were ASKED by pk or flick to come in their right mind should not accept unless they were happy with their car themselves. It wouldnt be very proper would it?

Maybe Im not as fussed because my car is no AS material, but I honestly think what's done is done.

From all accounts, last year there were lots said "yes Im in" and pulled out.

This year, someone tried to organise those who seemed most keen last year, everyone gets the shits.

Solution: Suck it up, stop your complaints. Some people made a choice, they have realised they haven't pleased everyone, and perhaps it hasn't worked for the best. So for next year, make a thread early and try again to involve more.

Done and Done, no more bickering :thumbsup:

and on the point of organising things early,

i would like to do a SAU display for Gazzanats (in October ) and SCS (In November) im in the process of finding out some more info about SCS

let me know if your interested

Hey guys.. ok firstly i didnt 'pick' anyone, i dont know people or their cars well enough. Pk chose, and i think he done a great job - have all sorts of colour, models, mods etc.

I volunteered to help with other aspects, such as lighting, flooring and i guess a bit of the co-ordination of it, which is something ive been enjoying. Please dont bicker..

just leave it be folks.

its all been organised, you may not have known about it, and i can see how that wouldve pissed people off, but given what happened last year, it was a lot easier on pk and flick (and the club in general really) organising it this way.

instead of having 20 or 30 or however many poeple putting their hands up and saying "IM IN! IM IN!" and only having 2 or 3 people actually rock up, they now have 11 definites for this years show.

maybe voice your interest in participating in next years AS after this show, and get it all paid for and ready to go in the next couple months, thatll save the shit fighting closer to the dates.

well done to pk, flick, and whoever else had their hand in this.

heh, gazzanats, might have to throw something cheap and skid worthy together for that.

If so many people have a problem with it why didnt they start a thread themselves, like has been said they have done the best they can with people WHO HAVE expressed an interest last year and this year. Next year can always post a pic of your car and a list of mods etc and they can be voted on, once voted in pay upfront, always makes me wanna turn up if ive already paid.

Anyway good job guys and look forward to seeing the display.

Thanks guy, its good to get some support.

The display is going to look awsome i think. A good friend of mine is doing a lighting display for us, he does this for a living, so it should be great! We have promo girl organized, banners etc. PK has put in ALOT of work, time and his own money to get this off the ground, and ive been running around adelaide collecting peoples money to get it all in nice and early.

pk an flick are doin a wicked job to date of gettin every one together an sorting stuff out in there own time. of wat iv seen pk pm'd ppl that his seen posing with there cars an entering shows etc not just ppl that say theyll do this and that but dont do anythin coz of the effort factor. an unlike other shows like powerfest etc autosalon is more for looks that go coz most of the cars u c there u dont c move so they cant proov how good there set up is all they see is how good it looks, an most ppl want to see higher KW cars that wat most of us can afford, 250 to 300 in my books is heaps but wen say the GTR 34 from last yr jumps on b4 u an pulls 600kw on first run an urs only makes 350 ppl will just get up an leave coz 350 ant as entertaing as the 600 b4 that. so entering for just looks is btr than goin in for power at this one in my books

If you were not one of the people that got chosen for the SAU Display you can go in the show by yourself....

We have done our own displays for a few years now (as well as club displays in the past) It is heaps of fun.

Keep in mind that a club display is limited to a max of about 11 or 12 cars.

So if you think your car is up to get your application in, you have till the 27th July for the cheap entry.

ok well ill put mine up first - to be honest, i havent even seen some of the cars that PK invited, but i trust his judgment, As i said we went for diff models/colours/mods - some ''rice'' as some call it, and some with power.. so show and go i guess

Mxtc, thats cool, i was just worried people would be negative against PK and myself, which would suck..

I know my car isnt 'all that much' - just kit colour and rims, but im proud of it and i love my car.. know its worth nearly zilch compared to some cars that enter, but im doing it for the club and for the fun and experience of it.

One day when i have money, she will be show AND go, but for now, i can just afford to have what i do..

ok so most of yas know my car anyway, but ill start the ball rolling then..

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
