Can someone tell me if it is or isnt the long weekend. Just trying to plan our engagment party around SAS. Sad i know. :nyaanyaa:

21st 22nd June... which long weekend are you thinking of?

S2theA2theM! says:

Matsuo Kato ...make the call says:

Fknlol :)

Random question: Is there any other GTR's other than ours?

ummm...... yes......*

most likely... don't wanna get shot if your alone!

So, I'm sticking my hand up to organize the hotel stay for the weekend.

All those years entering with various clubs in my native Melbourne, Autosalon was never about taking home trophies, it was about having safe CBD parking and getting shit faced with promo gangers from the show night after night.

Any takers?

Actually I really hope I have the car ready for this as I'm pretty sure it'd be what you guys want. Probably won't have the new engine done by then but hopefully all the cosmetics will be sorted and it'll look like a really mean street/track car

OoOOoooOO i didnt realise it was at fox studios.. thought it was at homebush again!..

ok yeah.. hotel room would be good matt

If enough people are up for this, no shit i would be too... But I swear to god, I'm not ending up like last time... I actually begged a mate for a lift home at like 1PM... I left him my keys and just hoped for the best :no:

Turned out well...

Anyway... rooms... info... booze... women... These are all important points that must be addressed...

yeah i'll bring mine down...

Means ive got a short time frame for my lil mods list

Need somewhere to shack up otherwise im camping in the wagon. Need a buddy pass too.

Be an individual for once in your lives...

I think I will be taking the forms again, I'm not sure if Paul has a fax machine... and deposit the money into the SAU bank account... please put as much info on there as possible, SAU username, what event it is for etc... it's hard to keep track sometimes... and please write in the thread when you have deposited the money too :)

ok, big update to be made tomorrow, in the mean time, i need everybody's phone numbers.

Whether you choose to message or call me or PM me, it is your choice.

There are a few things i need to mention to everyone that is 110% all in for June's show.

My number is 0403 954 613.

Becareful as i rarely answer private numbers - so if you wish, leave a message and i'll get back to you.

ALL I CAN SAY NOW IS THAT I HAVE AN INSANE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ENTER THIS SHOW!!

Nah, you would be surprised how many people we either have fall out or something like that... We had I think 3 paid entrants have to pull out... that was 2 weeks before the show I think... we still have over 2 months :)

Plans change, shit happens... no need to worry about us having a massive display yet :yes:

Just a note to all intending of being part of our display, although this seams off-putting,

ONCE THE MONEY HAS BEEN SENT IN BULK TO AUTOSALON - IF YOU PULL OUT IT WILL BE YOUR LOSS AS THE MONEY CANNOT BE REFUNDED.

I thought that was rather important!

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
