Odd, I didn't seem to have that problem. They do require real names though, so if that wasn't filled in properly (or at least look realistic) you wouldn't have got in.

george thats an awesome Idea but I think we should go one step further and organsie a massive Australian meetup like the AE86 guys did last year, I dont know if any of you guys are into drifting or not? but last year the hachi guys organised it the same weekend as the calder park drift nationals and then those that werent drifting entered the show and shine as a group, was quite awesome too see really.
Maybe we should think about doing the same thing but with pimpalicious soarers

I think drifting seems pretty cool and I'd like to give it a shot sometime, but I'm not prepared to humiliate myself yet 
However I would attend and spectate and definitely would want to get an australia-wide meetup happening.
My car at the moment wouldnt be too good for the show and shine unless i can get my paint looking good... wish me luck guys

well in that case if we have a show and shine no one can come within 2 meters of my car, and it must have water running over the paintwork constantly
that way it will look good and you wont see the scuffs

aerocabin is the metal roof that folds back and then hides itself if i recall correctly
also i have no idea what power i'm getting out of the 1G-GTE.
I assume Ive got a gen-2 but I may unfortunately have a gen-1.
I'm pretty sure I've got a gen-2 from what i was checking on the toymods 1g-gte description page.
boost? stock i guess... i think stock is 7 or 8 psi... could be wrong there too though.

Not too many Gen1s going around. Most are gen2 and some Gen3 are gettin up now cause they are alot cheaper now to bring in.
Aerocabin is a limited edition Soarer with a roof and rear screen that fold down into the rear boot. Its the last of the Soarers made. Look close in my avatar. Cheers

I dont have extra stone chip protector covers, i just mean the front plastic on the lights.
Mine are starting to go a weird colour and i want to clean them up so theyre crystal clear again.

Dude thats a pic from Japan. Plastic cleaner you can get for around $20-$25 bucks. It only polishes the plastic cover but not take away the yellowey colour i think your talking about. For $20 it wont hurt to try i suppose.

sounds good to me 
Seems like there's soo many old school soarers in adelaide it's not funny!
As long as there's enough notice I don't mind driving a fair distance to go somewhere...
But having company for the long cruise would be cool too...
Main thing here is plenty of forewarning of the date. That way time off work can be organised etc 
Summernats would be kewl
