errr hosting is not a problem, but resizing and putting watermark on every photo takes time

[KazeKid]

WOWZ.... JDM styled cars were out in force! AWESOME!

[BLKEM1]

Sweet photos man, hey Kevin what camera set up did u use? cheers

So many hot JDM cars in the show this year......looks that have to go to check it out next year...

[Deviliss]

great pictures :) Keep them coming

[Justin Fox]

Loved the entrance huh? Circuit Battle cars were fantastic (loved the Manhia MX-5). Had a good look at them, their fantastic stripped out race interiors. Love that stuff. The Chargespeed S2K almost gets lost in the whole show car biz... that CF dash is so shiny imagine driving that in the sun! The glare would be ridiculous. Beau's AE is hot hot hot but the Z-Tune stole the show for me. It was my fave car there, funny thing is that is's DEAD STOCK. I mean, the hottest car for me was dead stock and it wasn't slammed low either. Amazing.

As for the rest of the show. I always try to keep positive and try my best to appreciate the insane amounts of money and work put into some of these cars but in all honesty the music blasting from so many different directions made me feel kinda stressed out, that in combination with the big crowd made me feel a little claustrophobic. I had to literally sit down, have a drink, get accustomed to the loud doof doof music coming from all different directions and just walk slower and focus on trying to look at each car.

Nice to run into some familiar faces, Bel Garage had a strong presence there for sure, loved their cars. The 5 Zigen stall got me all excited!!! I'd love to see more JDM manufacturers display their goods next time!

Definitely more show girls this time and damn the stuff their wearing gets hotter and hotter doesn't it? As usual I kinda felt sorry for them, little kids grabbing their arses... etc etc saw a fair bit of that.

So whilst we don't promote and encourage people to post up not safe for work material... the babes and cars go hand in hand in Australia's premier modified car show, so post'em up peeps!!! (maybe start a new thread clearly labeled NSFW!).

[Justin Fox]

OH PS: I got a farking $77 parking fine!!! Low motherfuckers!!!

[kula]

nice pics kev.

[NeoNode]

Sweet photos man, hey Kevin what camera set up did u use? cheers

[Alanski]

omfg im jealous!

[type-x]

Z Tune just looked the part of a $170 000+ car. The Strut Brace itself was hard to take in, i mean comparing that to the usual Cusco ones .... 320 atw is pretty damn impressive too. I wanted to have a closer look inside but was a little worried that security would be on your ass. Overall the show was a good experience. The 1000hp Skyline GT-R was also another highlight.

[kula]

thats US dollars + transport.

1031hp ;)

your a lucky man kula

[wilch]

...but the Z-Tune stole the show for me. It was my fave car there, funny thing is that is's DEAD STOCK. I mean, the hottest car for me was dead stock and it wasn't slammed low either. Amazing.

I got to watch the car on the track at the PowerPlay Oran Park day. Now that was amazing. Also got to catch up with Easton while he shot the car for Autosalon magazine.

That's me in the background... hehe

Wish I could've shared some track time with it too but I was in a different group. I got to hear the thing on full song down the main straight. Sooo angry. Love that car.



...in all honesty the music blasting from so many different directions made me feel kinda stressed out, that in combination with the big crowd made me feel a little claustrophobic...

I forgot about that. I haven't been to an autosalon in a long time. But reading this brought back memories of me thinking, "TURN THE FUCKING MUSIC DOWN!#$!!@#!!"

It's ridiculous. There's no need for everyone to be competing with their freaking music. The organisers should do something about it. But you know, what can ya do.

[EGG80X]

here are my Day 1 photos - plenty of actions ;)

The Bel Garage S2K looks hot! If i'm not wrong, the bodykit is done by Peter of Bodyform. I remember seeing that S2K over there the last time i'm there.

[wilch]

love the belgarage s2000.

[KKAOS]

Nice pics there guys ! Thanx for posting them up :) Yes I love the BEL Garage S2000 also, I think it had a photo shoot for Autosalon Magazine, so I hope to expect a feature on it in an upcoming issue ?

[[ekkY]]

hey 2GU UP, were you the guy was dancing around to the music near your car? :-o

i think i took a pic of you while you were dancing for the fun of it hehehee

but it didnt come out right

[Justin Fox]

Nice to meet you Anthony, you looked tired man.

Funny how these shows are meant to be fun but all the car owners and stand minders I met on the day were so not having fun. :( :P

[josh2.5]

AWESOME PICS GUYS!

Goddamn but Ztune would be worth cost of entry alone! Oh how I hope they bring it to BAS or GCAS next year

[2GU UP]

nah it would have been my cousins dancing i would have been standing there laughing at em

nice meeting you to justin
yes i was buggered
but i do it again and again i guess i enjoy it enough to coming back

[Tosh]

AWESOME PICS GUYS!

Goddamn but Ztune would be worth cost of entry alone! Oh how I hope they bring it to BAS or GCAS next year

I doubt it, the owner isnt too keen on taking it around the country for shows. You will however get a chance to see it being driven properly at next years Dutton Rally QLD so make sure you make it out to that to check it out
