The quality of the cars at last years extreme HP show was a lot higher than this years Autosallon.

There is a good mix of imports, US and Aust muscle cars and hot rods. There are a lot of dedicated show cars there (with painted chromed undercarages etc) as well as a lot of high quality daily drivers. I entered my car last year and had good weekend, but I was never in the running for a trophy (if thats what you are after)

I'm entering the show for the Dyno comp as I've always wanted to have a go in one.

There was a pretty good mix of cars in the show last year too.

Keep an eye out for my big, ugly blue Toyota Crown. With 2 screamer pipes and an open 4 inch exhaust it should make a fair bit of noise inside the pavillion. :P

My car will be fresh out of M&C Doyle with a tits bodykit. The only problem is that now my 18s look small. I will need to buy a set of spacers or borrow a larger set of rims for the show.

I took out my boost controller though and have not yet bought another one, so there's not much point putting my car on the dyno. It's making about 170 RWKW on stock boost at the moment.

I'd be keen to join the club display though. Send more information.

9krpm - im fairly sure that your car would have to be apart of the show to enter the dyno run.

wwwdot - do you have any other cars besides yours which is a definate to be in the show. how many are you actually after?

Do you have to put the car in the show if you want to just enter the dyno comp?

Hi mate, I asked the same question when I called the organisers, and yes, you have to enter the show. However, you don't have to be judged ("Display Only").

It's costing me $45 to enter and $20 for the dyno comp. You also get 2 passes to the show and a couple of T-shirts, so it's not too bad really. My car is FAR from a show vehicle-it's built for a prupose-but they had no problem with that.

MS-75 I love your car.

Got to be one of the best surprise packages out there.

I remember seeing the reaction to it at the Jazmac dyno day.

It's pure gold.

Thanks for the compliment chops. One of the things I enjoy most about the car is the source of amusement it is for others. I myself love seeing stuff that's unique/bizarre.

Since you saw it at Jazmac it's changed a fair but. It's now got 12 injectors (2 per cyl, 440+550cc), 2 new wastegates, new boost control, custom plenum on a 100 Series Landcruiser stub manifold with 2 separate fuel rails and an 1100hp GT42. It's now making a LOT more HP than before. The engine is still inernally stock, but I'll get to that sometime.

Feel fee to come and have a good look at the show. I'll be in a back corner somewhere as I'm really only going for the Dyno comp.

See you there mate

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
