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..

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
