The Autosalon 2006 show held at the Perth Convention Centre turned out to be the best show yet… although there weren’t as many cars compared to last year there definitely was a higher quality on show. The Japanese Import Tuner scene has definitely taken off in a big way especially after movies like Fast N The Furious have hit the big screens. Not only are car enthusiasts trying to squeeze out every Kilo Watt of power out of their engines, but they’re also raising the bar in the glamour scene. Air bag suspensions, custom boot installs and eye dazzling paint jobs were just  a few things that were on show.

On the main stage New Zealand Hip Hop star Savage tore up the mic with Aussie rappers Ken and Weapon X performing his hits Stop Drop and Roll, Moonshine & Locked Up. Away from the main stage the Dyno challenge saw many cars push their engines to the limit with one R32 GTR (‘ND4SPEED’) pushing a mind blowing 881Hp at the wheels! 

Over two days thousands of car enthusiasts made their way though the Perth Convention Centre, whether they were just there to admire the cars… or looking for their next inspiration… one thing for sure is that the Japanese Tuner scene is definitely on the rise down under!
