Auto Salon: Final Battle

[GoldZilla]

Oh, BTW peoples, the current(?) AutoSalon magazine has the results from the last one we were in, with a snap of Beer Baron's R32 GT-R (and some of Xmetal's old Stagea showing too).

It's issue 71, with a blue 2JZ-powered IS300 Lexus on the cover.

Good luck!

Are you lads going in as final invite entrants or general entry?

[DRD-00F]

General entry. Though I'm sure they invited one of our cars back

[morph.]

cool we shall see you there long trip from melbourne but JDM IS BACK!

[DRD-00F]

Make sure to come say hi. We'll be buzzing around the dyno area all weekend most likely

[Swiper the Fox]

my car is entered...it will be vying for the general entry dyno trophies...as we are not in invitational class we don't have to make 1000+hp to win.

[NXTIME]

yeah...only 920hp will be enough

Are you going solo, Paul?

[DRD-00F]

Good stuff Paul...

be warned, we may attack your car with SAU stickers if it doesn't have one on there by the weekend

Also

the "Haltech Performance Arena", is that where the dyno will be?

Fridays weather forecast = RAIN - Noooooooooo!!!!!!

I dont know what to do, no point in polishing the car only to have to drive from Newcastle straight after in the Rain.

Might have to just wash it here, drive down in the rain and polish it at the venue??? Cant wash it in Sydney unless there is a car wash cafe very close??

I hope the forecast changes by Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GoldZilla]

Bakes, if you polish the car before you leave, it'll be easier to dry off if it rains on the way down, as the water should bead up better and probably slide off on its own.

Bring a chamois, some detailing cloths and some Meguiars Quik Detailer (or a similar product) to use when you get down here, and also to use over the weekend for touch-ups.

Problem solved!

[Swiper the Fox]

or just turn up with the car filthy like i did last year and have Mick (Bullet32) and his lovely girl Kate to clean it for you...

they did a stellar job...here's the results

[Bakes]

Nice! Ill do the whole job as Goldzilla suggested. Black is a Mofo to keep clean!!

Ill be bringing a heap of cleaning stuff.

[Xmetal]

Bakes there will be a few 'spare hands' around when were setting up so if you see myself or someone else standing around just ask.

[Bakes]

Sweet!

[kuma j]

i dont finish work til 6 on friday but if im going good for time i might swing out and see if i can lend a hand.

[Bakes]

not long to go now

[DRD-00F]

Nope

And I've been extremely busy tieing up all the loose ends. It's all coming together, just have to make sure the cars will be ready
