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)

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 thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
    • Summernats cruiser?
    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
