lol each to their own i guess

True. I have opinions on a few cars there, but they're my opinions and I'll keep them off the forum. Some people like that kind of thing ... so good on him.

I have a few ideas for future displays which I'll bounce off the Committee shortly. Must keep going from strength to strength. :)

I agree with Ruby everyone has different tastes when it comes to modifying cars and others should respect their opinions. Good for him that he entered autosalon he is supporting the cause and supporting car toys, as a car toys club member im proud of him. The future of autosalon is dying due to many people these days hating RICER cars and most cars in autosalon are considered as a RICE, i was chatting to to the autosalon executives and they were pissed off at Adelaide's attitude. So many people have worked so hard to bring it back to Adelaide only to have dirt chucked back in their faces. Less cars than previous years entered, not many trade stands were present. As for the future of autosalon Adelaide can say bye bye we be really lucky if they come back next year

Well done on the award guys.

The first time I attended an AS was in 02 or 03, and I never attended another. Shiny bits, graphics, air brushing, and 20 sub woofers in one car was never my thing, and this theme definitely outnumbered the performance cars that i was hoping to find there. I think a lot of others feel the same.

To the AS execs not liking Adelaide's attitude; suck it up! What goes up must come down...

The business model works well interstate in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane where the crowd loves it but Adelaide is more drift/jap-spec orientated. Maybe numbers are down because people in Adelaide simply don't bother with that style anymore? What's the point of spending huge $$ in a show-pony car that will only ever leave the shed for Autosalon otherwise it will be instantly defected? Blame SAPOL.

Autosalon has to remove their image of blinged up cars with 7 LCD's in the firewall and bonnet.

An Excel with an air-filter hanging out the front bar is no longer appealing to the kids of SA.

I'd love to see a 'where are they now' of the old cars from Autosalon's from a few years back... the Indulge WRX, Hulk WRX, that Wizard air-brushed WRX... In fact all that sticks in my mind is the WRX's you used to see there all the time haha.

lol. ive entered 3 with 2 different cars.

just never felt the need to enter autosalon, neither of my cars have had enough lcd's in the engine bay/on the diff housing/instead of headlights.

was tempted this year just to have a bit of time f**king around with everyone, but yeah nah, id rather earn a few hundred bucks than spend it at as.

I'm sorry, but if the general public doesn't like what they see - then thats their choice. After all the show is for the general public and it is at the end of the day a business. If a business can not offer what its clientel want to see then so be it. If they accept a heap of cars with bling fpos rims that went out of style 2005 then its time to move on and keep up with the current. I say good riddance, I didn't even go. However good display for the SAU boys which I did give my congratulations in the other thread.

Good on you if you mod your car to what you want, but if you don't want to hear what people have to say... then don't put it in car shows. Your not going to tickle everyones fancy and thats fine too... but your putting yourself out there to be judged. Can't accept it, then don't offer your cars in shows and self admire your car.

edit: just noticed cronics post which pretty much is exactly what I said lol

JDM Spec - All Japan Day

Horsepower & toughness- Extreme Horsepower

Pure show cars - Autosalon

To ask the board of Autosalon to change a business model that works extremely well in the east is ridiculous. If they now realise that the market they are targeting doesnt really exist in Adelaide, then so be it. They just wont host a round in Adelaide, or they will host a smaller show.

The reason why autosalon is what it is, is because of how the judging works. You arent going to get King of Autosalon by having a tough street car with a dirty underbody/ wheel wells, standard street spec sound system and no bodykit. Its pretty simple.

I agree with what you're saying there Wayne. If you put your car into a show, its there to be judged ... by the show judges as well as the public. Gotta take the sweet with the sour.

I'm sure my Stagea had a few comments made I wouldn't approve of, but I'm aware of that. Compare it to Mike's Stag, and Mike's is just pure porn with those rims (I want those rims) :O when you look at it from a show viewpoint. However, I enter my car as part of a club display (not individual display), trying to put it out there that its not just a family wagon. Its my daily, my track car, my time attack car, and my weekend car.

But still, gotta take the criticism as well as the admiration.

:P

Was an excellent weekend i think, be interesting to see if they run it next year or can the whole idea. Great effort for the club attitude award, and was good to see a few of the non entered SAU guys wandering around.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
