I thought it was pretty good this year. Was an improvement on last years ;)

Mind you, i was a little surprised at the number of, shall we say, lower than average cars there. It wasn't a huge number but more than i expected. Being a car show I would have thought there would be some sort of level a car has to be at to make it in. If im paying 18 bucks to see this, I expect a certain level of quality. But, perhaps that's just me. That said, it was still good :)

Pity SAU didn't make it. Maybe next time :rant:

I was talking to the Cabin guys during the show and they were alot happier with this years

show than last year's.

I must agree it was a big improvment over last year!

Also i was happy with our stand, not bragging but i was really happy with out Purple S1580, that was one hot car :D

I was dissapointed

Maybe I had to greater expectation, but thought it was pretty average, there where some good cars there, but the whole event lacked a certian buzz that I associate with the shows of previous years

maybe its just me, who knows

Doubt if I would go next year, unless there are a few big name cars there. None of the big name workshops there either, but the Skylines that where there were pretty good

I'd give it a 2.5/5

the avarage is improve from last year, very people car looks very nice. But then lack of other state CRAZY car coming(only myshow & Osman's shxt WRX) and local workshop highly mod car makes me a bit disappointed.

Another problem is being the drift is SO hot atm, there are PLENTY of 180, and everyone is wearing the same vetrex/BN kit. Looks like a uniform to me and wonder how can they drift after having those expensive bodykit / wide front guard? Before i go into auto salon i think they looks very nice, but not now.

i don't think i will pay $18 again next year unless i am going into it with my car.

BTW if SAU really go in like we plan, should able to win the best car club display.

And i can't find a R33 looks better than Matt inside :wassup:

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
