Show was really good i thought.

Not many GTR's, turbo 4 and 6's -alot of V8 and the sort - but the cars that were there either were historic and in fantastic condition or well engineered.

Pissed all over Autosalon and other ricer shows.

The crap ricers were kept to a absolute minimum....

I enjoyed it.

I went , and thought it was ok for the $15, but thought that it was a bit boring, other than checking out lots of cars there wasn't much else happening. The dyno comp at the Dome is in a much better position than at the Convention Center, and some huge power figures. I hope the show continues to grow, and incorporates more Import cars.

I went on Sunday. Got there just before the C-Red GTR went on the dyno (lucky). Wasnt bad for $15 even though it was a holden and ford fest mostly. Quality of most cars wasnt to bad though. Did anyone else think that the 1500hp ute looked like it stuffed its motor? there was smoke pissing out of the engine bay

Yeah it was OK

Couple of horrid (IMHO) Imports which had so much metalflake in the paint looked like they'd been attacked by a gang of Fairys. (Magical type not tradesmen)

An LS1 powered 33 with lower dyno HP than other GTS's was interesting.

Best fun was counting the Mullets :D

Yeah, the AME show was previously the Ford vs. Holden show. Was nice to see how they put on there shows, but other than the price being good, I couldn't see anything they do theat we don't.

I agree that a couple of the imports did look shit, but C-red's and Xspeed displays were nice :P

I thought 15 simoleans for entry was pretty good, got some pics of the few imports that were there. My brothers and I actually saw more imports in the carparks than there were in the show, including a bayside blue R34 GTR and several R32 GTR's and Supras. That LS1 R33 was freaky, but the twin exhaust was sweet! I was a little dissapointed at the absence of any Supras, but I was a fan of the Dodge RT/10 on display. But yeah it was a mullet and Ford/Holden fest, and waaaay too many chrome rims for my liking.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
