TOCAU :: Annual Show n Shine, Brighton Toyota

trueno, ae86, corolla

With a great venue and some not so fantastic weather, the annual Toyota Owners Club Australia
show n shine was about to begin. Assembled within the service bay of Brighton Toyota, many cars quickly took their spots and in no time the area was full.

corolla zr

With a good mix of old and new, this ZR corolla really shows that new cars can look great if they’re done right.

lots of toyotas

A strong variety of cars was out on display.

supra engine, chrome

There was so much shine! It hurt my eyes! This is the cleanest Supra engine bay I have seen in Victoria.

original engine toyota

From one extreme to the next! A totally original and almost untouched engine bay, with cool old-school stickers!

ae92 slammed

One tough Ae92, sitting at the perfect ride height.

VIP camry

As we have said before on gss, ‘nicest looking Camry in Victoria!’, as you can see, everything about this car screams class!

e30 corolla

And here’s omething you don’t see everyday! Once upon a time this Corolla was everywhere just like the Datsun 180b.

e30 corolla interior nice

The interior was immaculate, only a true Toyota enthusiast could keep a car such as this in top condition.

ssr wheels

I love the little details that good quality wheels exhibit.

20v corolla tureno

A very fap-worthy 20v 4AGE, probably one of the most popular engine swaps for the Ae86 and with good reason.

trueno, ae86, red

One very lucky P plater, with a ridiculously good paint job.

toyota ruckus dropped, slammed, lowered, bagged

Slammed Ruckus, dragging an angry bird!

toyota crown

Big seats for a big car! If only all Toyota Crowns looked this good.

crown australia

It is a pity that we do not get the newer Crowns here in Australia, at least this fifth generation Crown is flying the flag for the rest of them.

new zr corolla

Another good looking ZR Corolla!

heaps of corollas

Corollas dominated the show! This older Seca sitting next to its closest relative…

slammed camry

These Camry’s have so much potential and not many people have the vision to take them to this level.

awards for show n shine

The crowd assembles for trophy time!

interior award winner 2012

Best interior winner!

winners

Even the organisers were winning awards!

tough zr corolla on ssr wheels

My favourite ZR of the show! This car used to run the trd wheels but I think these look even better.

standard supra on the outside

With all the money invested under the bonnet, this Supra becomes a nice daily and an unexpected sleeper.

rs200 lexus

The only is200/rs200 of the show, sporting some nicely worn plates and a beams 3sge engine.

club registration

It’s great to see the club registered cars out at the show and shine. This E30 corolla wagon is just another fantastic example of a well maintained classic.

kebab hunters sticker gss gripshiftslide.com

Its good to see one of our more rare stickers out and about.

dyno charts corolla sportivo

Nothing speaks volumes like dyno charts, proof that these vehicles are not just show ponies.

green ze corolla

A very kermit green Corolla, sitting in one of the best positions of the show.

winner

Most likely to receive a kenari award winner! It was evident that these Toyota fans put a lot of effort and time into organising such a terrific event. Having great sponsors and strong passion for Toyota’s helps to create and continue creating amazing club events like these. We here at GSS see this scene growing and cannot wait to see what will be on show next year.
