Hi All,

We are currently having an expression of interest for the Melbourne Autosalon 2006 expo/show.

We are seeking interest from the SAU VIC Members and this event is only open to Members.

For those who aren't members and would like to have your car on display at Autosalon 2006 then you should join SAU VIC immedietly.

We have some interest but would like to see some more people put their car's in. It's a great social weekend filled with lots of cool cars, a great SAU team and lots of antics. Cabin have also offered us buddy passes which means when you car is in you get free entry all weekend for yourself and one other friend.

We have been at all of the previous Autosalon's (2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005) so let's get as many members as we can. I don't wanna miss on this one. Afterall its well known that the SAU crew (and fangartists) basically rule Autosalon for members and their rides.

Show your support, afterall it's your club as much as it ours (SAU Commitee Team).

All of the other car clubs you know or have heard of will be present (IMCC, Evolve, Commodore Car Cruise, Chasers, Rajab Racing) just to name a few. Also all of the stupidly loud audio demo cars, promo girls and cheap merchandise and parts onsale.

Thanks

THe entry fee gives you two tickets all weekend, access to dyno run is included in the price (if you wish). The full tank requirement is part of event safety. This is to eliminate the risk of a fuel explosion as the fumes in the petrol tank are the dangerous part. When the tank is full (or almost empty also) there are little or no fumes, reducing the risk.

I believe it's part of Cabin's event insurance also. They check every tank upon car entry to the event on the Friday.

Na he sold the S15 to some guy in qld who flew down and drove it back.

Hes family moved back to America for a few years so he moved to Canada to be close to them and do some uni course.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      So I raised the car up a fair bit for shipping - see image - then lowered it again when it arrived. I then rushed to get an alignment in NL before the track and the shop just wasn’t anywhere near as precise as what I got in Japan. The guys that did the alignment this week said there was a fair amount of toe in the rear that could have contributed to the understeer. It was also the case that the rear camber went from about -2 to -3 at the shop in NL. However, since I’ve now got slightly wider tires in the rear - NS2Rs run wider than Accelera 651S - I could only get a minimum of -3 in the rear now due to clearance. Front is now -2.75 (-2.45 in minutes) due to being raised a bit (previously -3 in JP). So it’s likely a combination of the two factors, camber and toe. The issue now is I have more camber in the rear than the front and the next step on the front Cusco arms will put me at -3.5ish front which seems a bit excessive to me. The weird thing is I’ve never had any understeer at the track in Japan but they are very different circuits - Japanese circuits are much slower than the one I’ve been to here.    I’m probably going to have to start another thread for the E90. The plan is sort of to keep it as a daily but progressively mod it into a track car - honestly, you need a cage for the sort of speeds you go here. Just ordered the M3 front arms btw.  Love the car despite it being in pretty shitty condition. Oil analysis came back okay and it seems to have stopped consuming oil since fixing a load of engine bay things. Saw yours is a 335i right? f**king mistake on my part getting the DI N53 over the N52, fuel economy is insanely good though at 14-16 km/L.   Cheers, it’s great to see the benefits and pitfalls of different places. I’m contemplating going back to the U.K. around next year as the cost of living in the Netherlands is just ridiculous. GF is nagging me to settle and buy a house but I don’t know what LSD to buy.

      Have you seen the Milwaukee Train Horn? It's a beast! I stumbled upon it while browsing for upgrades. I'm thinking of adding it to my ride for some serious sound. Here's the link if you wanna check it out: https://bosshorn.com/products/milwaukee-train-horn. Anyway, thanks again for sharing your method.

      Anybody home...? I used to moderate this part of SAU about 20 years ago... hard to beleive it's still around basically unchanged with all the old posts pinned at the top. Amazing to read all those posts again.  If anyone drops by, I'm still in Japan (Nishinomiya, between Osaka and Kobe).  Cheers 🙂
