That time of year folks... and for once... i must say ive left the Exhibition Centre in a reasonable state (and hour) :(

The stand setup/design this year is (in my opinion) the BEST SAU-Vic has put on :)

You will see what i mean if you come down and check it out.

For once, i actually understand the theme by looking at the stand lol!

Everyones cars also look bloody sensational too i might add, some cars have scrubbed up extremely well which is good to see members taking pride in thier ride!!!

So come down, support your club and checkout the sensational efforts people have put in.

Everyone will be there through-out the days.

We are located next to the Alpline Stereo business stand, and very close to the Dyno aswell so you cant miss us

Cheers! ;)

Ash

hey i was there earlier on - met and had a great chat with Turbo X too - Gday mate, top bloke~!

SAU stand looks awesome, very nice variety of cars and nice theme also!

Look out for me, i'm in the chasers stand amongst all the *drools* GTR's and EVOS

They've got some good stuff happening this year - drift RC, lots of home entertainment concepts and wicked driving simulators too. Only shit thing is that the DYNO section has been moved to the back corner only allowing one grand stand as a viewing platform. Rumuor is there's a 500kw+ GTR lurking somewhere too

Hope to see many ppl there over the weekend

cheers!

Ended up leaving around 2100 which was a good time to leave. The stand is looking ace and I'm really happy with the way it's turned out.

Thanks to everyone who's put in a big effort to get us to where we are now. All we have to do is make it through the weekend...

RH9 is there again sporting a nice T88-GK rather than the 3542s of previous years. Expecting to see well over 750awkw from that.

just got back from it. i got bored after 45 mins though..

wasn't too bad. got photos of some girlies which was good. lol

Nice meeting you ash and the other boys ( forgot your names.. my bad)

il try n post up some pics when i get the chance.

What a weekend, im really stuffed so this will be brief and highly inaccurate no doubt :D

Few points.

- We took a runner up trophy for best club theme (i think)

- Stand looked absolutely brilliant, theme was great

- Everyone helped out, and we were packed up and outta there by 7:15pm, a new SAU record lol!

- Plenty of knackered units today after fun and games of the weekend

- Work pagers/oncall sucks teh donkeh nuts.

- Promo chicks - they rocked!!! No complaining all weekend, simply brilliant

- Some other clubs went ALL out (didnt expect that), so we'll have to step up another gear

- I've already been running over some ideas for '08 (some exceptionally outlandish... but i think we need to go beyond for '08)

- Im really tired, need sleep, wont have much of a voice tomorrow

No doubt the pics will flow over the next 3-4 days and this thread will fast become 56k - NOT friendly ;)

Probably the most entertaining MAS i've attended in a few years.

God Dammit!! I'm a truely busted unit!

SAU-Vic definitely put on it's best show yet. As Ash mentioned, we won a trophy for Best Club Theme (runner up) but given that clubs like Allure put in a truely massive effort, they were well deserved winners.

Thank you so much to our models (Sandra, Kate, Fiona, Kayla, Ang and Lauren (dissappointed by Julie not being able to make it but oh well)) for putting a huge effort in supporting and promoting SAU-Vic. You did us proud! ;)

We hope that everyone who entered had a good weekend and enjoyed their MAS experience.

Next big show will the Australian GP in March so keep your eye out for details. We're definitely going to be representing there as usual and if you think this weekend was fun, you won't know what hit you when the GP comes round! :D

I'll put photos up this week for all to see.

Off to beddy byes now.

Twas a great weekend! My ears are still ringing form the deafening drone of doof doof and scream of external gates! That's what you get when you are positioned near car install stands and the dyno.......

The theme worked great, and the last minute marque was awesome too! Thanks to the guy who bought that? Who was that anyways????

Good to see so many well presented cars. Much interest was raised by the old skool falcon and the flutter wagon. Handbags car snatched (hehehe I said snatched) a runners-up award for something or other, perhaps the fat kit award or something. Pity it had issue on the dyno with it's last run a sobering 215kw.... Just a tad under the 360 it made previously. Hope it's not too bad Newts.

Thanks to all the SAU crew who added the show too. Was an absolute blast. Thanks.

    • I think in the modern era we live in, if I were converting a hydro lifter head to solid, particularly when chasing revs, I'd be seeing what I could do to use shimless buckets. Those of us with Neos usually have this persistent niggling fear of a shim getting spat out and ruining everything. Shim-over is...yucky that way. At least the Tomei kit appears to be conventional, but it would still be nice if they'd decided to go shimless.
    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.
