  1. Hi Guys, On Saturday EVO OZ and JDMST will be having a combine event. The Evo’s will be having their annual national meet with Evo’s on and off the track and a “show a shine” (non-bling / non-duff duff) will be put on by JDMST and prizes given out to winners of each of the individual classes. The day will be free for spectators, sponsors of the event are Yokohama,Mothers and Castrol will be setting up trade stands and walking the pits talking to everyone. I’ve even been told that if we’re lucky we might even get some promo girls and a video even might be shot as well. This is a non-alcohol, strictly family run event and is entirely FREE for all spectators adults and children alike. Come out and support the car scene, grab a bite, listen to some tunes, take some photos, talk to the sponsors, and see some of Sydney best street cars and fastest Evos. Details below: For spectators there is also Motorkhana and the Evo Supersprint around Eastern Creek. Details: • Gates open at 9am on Saturday the 21st of May. Show and Shine goes from 10AM - 2.30PM • Come in under the tunnel. Show and Shine will be held in the areas highlighted in red on the map above. • FREE entry to all spectators. Photographers: You guys are totally welcome to go snappy happy in and around the pits. At 3PM there will be a huge EVO GROUP SHOT in the pit lane. It's officially titled a 'show and shine', but hey, for all JDMST guys it's just another meet. ( It's going to be a big day... we're going to make it big so please come out and RPRSNT! No burnouts, no loud music (there will be a DJ!) and no engine revving on the way in or out of the event.
  2. Hey guys, Just want to let everyone know that this weekend the Pro series is back in town and it will be held at Eastern Creek WSID. Tickets can be bought at the gates. Even if you’re not into drag racing...a 1000hp+ is still at the end of the day 1000hp+, hearing and seeing these cars do less than 7sec down the strip is something that can’t be described. This is going to be my first proper pro drag event so it should be pretty awesome. I’ve been told to bring some ear plugs hehehe. See you guys there. How awesome would it be to ride in a car that goes from 0-400km/h in less than 7sec!

  4. For anyone who went along to the Mothers® detailing day they would of met George the paint guru and expert detailer. He is a man full of knowledge and has seen it all and been around the automotive industry long enough to be consider part of the furniture. so this week I thought i would pick his brains and get some tips for us. heres what he had to say . some of his do's and don't : Dos’ 1, Washing the car regularly would be my number one DO Tree sap, bug and insect remains, as well as tar and other pollution can eat away at the paint surface overtime, so washing it at least once a month will help preserve the exterior. Use a PH balanced car was like Mothers classic California Gold Car Wash. 2, Use high quality Mothers Sealer Glaze and Carnauba wax to protect the cars exterior . 3, Use MLH Microfibre sponges, wax applicator pads and cleaning cloths on all areas of the car. They will reduce surface scratching Cobwebbing issues dramatically. 4, Removing bird poop and other flying animal nasties from exterior surfaces is essential for preservation of the paint. Remove it immediately. Carnauba wax and Sealer glaze will protect the paint work from many things but acids and animal proteins will eat in to it. 5, Modern cars have a lot of exterior and interior uncoated plastics and rubber parts. If left unprotected in the Australian climate, they will break down and fade. Use Naturally Black to restore exterior Plastics and Mothers Protectant on the interior plastics. 6, When cleaning the interior remove all the mats and rubbish from the car first Vacuum and brush the mats first . Wash them and hang them to dry before starting the rest of the interior. 7, Cleaning marks off head linings: Take great care cleaning head linings, as harsh scrubbing may remove the head lining from the backing causing to it sag. 8, Wheels can be a real pain to clean when they have built up brake dust and grime. Use All wheel and tyre cleaner to make light work of the job of cleaning them. Then wax the rims. This will reduce build up and make the wheels easier to clean next time. 9, Apply tyre shine with an MLH foam applicator pad. Reduce spatter and get an even coat on the tires. Simple. 10, When washing your car try applying your wheel cleaner to all the rims and tyres first, then, as you pre- rinse the body hose the wheels down thoroughly. Done. don't’s Avoid washing and waxing in hot weather and direct sunlight. If it’s hot and you have to wax choose FX Synwax. If you have to use bore water do not let it dry on the surface. Don’t wash your wheels when they are hot. Some wheel cleaners can react with heat and stain the wheels. Don’t apply interior cleaners and leather cleaners without first checking them in a safe area. Failure to check, could mean removal or damage to treatments on the upholstery and carpet. Try to avoid parking in areas of high pollution next to railway lines and factories with chimneys with high levels of fallout . Luckily we have Mothers Claybar. We love trees and the shade they provide but so do birds Avoid parking under trees. Bird poop can do more damage in one day to the paint on your car than a year’s worth of UV exposure. When parking outdoors, Don’t park in the same place every day, one side of your car will fade. Guaranteed. Alternate the position. Don’t use aluminium polish on Chrome wheels. Chrome is very thin and should only be polished with a non aggressive polish like Mothers Chrome polish. It will remove contaminants and bring the rims up to a brilliant shine without damaging the Chrome. Take extra care with chrome wheels and avoid a build up of break dust. John.

  8. Hey Guys, Got a couple of pics from the mothers detailing day. Thought I shared some pics of what I learnt . George is one of those amazing characters that you could just talk too for hours about cars. He really loves what he does and know his sh**t. buddy of mine Matt got the masking tape job on his car to show, with a little advice and short amount of time he can fix his very neglected paint. Some rolla shine after some love.! started off look like this .. clean as it could get.. George the paint care freak getting into it. Wheel and tyre cleaner doing the hard work while we ate our BBQ. New Wheel and tyre.! This is my black Subaru that I had Clayed and waxed only days before, it look pretty tidy from a distance. After 10 mins with George and a hit with Seal and Glaze, it had us all going WTF. Check out the pics.! You can just see the small square George did. A few more shots of the same square from different angles. it made the rest of the car look a shade of Grey that had been hit with 1200 grade. Holding up a micro fibre to shade the photo, the square is the paint not the micro. This is all ive got as i was a little late, Big thanks to George for taking the time to share some of his skills with us. And for the whole Mothers gang for hosting and a great lunch. Rob.

  17. what car do you currently own ? for a ke i would go HSD coilovers for the ae86 since they fit . and sort the rear out with a t-series diff+ 2way lsd. oh and some good tyres. it can be done in a 4k/4ac but you need lots of speed and big balls .. heheh . that should be enough to get you going sideways .. once you improve look into lock,camber and castor.
