As a few of you know, I was recently made a casualty of the mineral and resources downturn. Well, as Murphy would have it, the very next day I was told that my 14yo daughter Ashleigh has been offered a last minute place on a music tour of Singapore with her school band and choir in April, and I need some help to raise the $3,500 to send her. So, in a bid to publicly display the sheer awesomness of the Perth modified car community......

Help A Kid Out Charity Cruise

Date:

Saturday 28th of March

Official Meetpoint:

City West

Time:

7.30pm meet up to leave at 8pm SHARP

Maps:

Will be handed out at the meetpoint for $10 donation (see below)

Bring:

Full tank of petrol, CB radios if you have them, etc

*Remember: The police will be given details of anyone responsible for anti-social behavior, so drive safe and enjoy the cruise

All donations will be made transparent through bank statements I will post up (so everyone knows it doesn't get spent on my car) and in the event that there is any money left over, it will be donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. I will notify everyone to amounts raised etc in this thread.

Please feel free to spread this among other clubs, post it up everywhere, and watch this space for further developments

we will see you there!

Update - Due to the generosity of local businesses, I can now confirm there will be door prizes given out on the night, so make sure you keep your map! Details will soon be following, and don't forget to post this cruise on all your other forums!

Also, A bank account has now been established for all those wishing to donate to the cause. This has been done to allow total transparency, and anyone wishing to see where all donations are going, need only ask and they will be given statements etc.

Anyone wishing to make a donation,

PM me and I will pass on the account details.

I've got a wedding to go to aswell but it's a day/afternoon thing, might be a little late :)

Damn, we'll be in Malaysia until the 30th...........

But Appealing Signs & Graphics will donate $100 towards Ashleigh's trip.

Sure hope that you get a good turn-out.

Here's the best deal that I can come up with.........if anyone mentions this post and gets any printing, sign work, stickers done etc, we'll donate the profit of any sale to Dale's daughter.

Check out our website www.appealingsigns.com.au for all the things that we can do.

All purchases must be paid for in full before the trip, (doesn't include any orders from our existing customers and I'm gonna limit it to $3000 donation).

So now's the time to purchase all those odd stickers that you've been saving for!

Thanks for the bump Bubba :(

As I may have already mentioned to a few of you, I have (since the inception of this cruise) managed to find enough employment to cover the costs of Ashleighs Grand Adventure myself. A HUGE thankyou to all the people that offered their generosity and support, and I am still gonna go ahead with the cruise, just without charging for the map, and the idea of offering prizes will be put back for another day. Maybe another (more organised) charity cruise in the not too distant future perhaps? :)

The map is all planned and driven, and the little lady in question will be present (I may even manage to convince her to crack out the ole horn and blast out some James Brown or similar for youse :P ) Anyone that feels so compelled, can still make a donation, and as I said before, any money raised will be donated to the Jeuvenille Diabetes Foundation on behalf of SAUWA.

so this cruise is still on for tonight then? might get some mates to come along in their rex or falcodores if that's alright. how many ppl thinking of going so far?

can ya give us a rough indication of where the cruise will be headed to?

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear! Stock quantities: NA1 Honda NSX - 1 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1990-na1-honda-nsx 1973 Toyota Celica LB 2000GT - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1973-toyota-celica-lb-2000gt 1968 Mazda Cosmo Sport - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1968-mazda-cosmo-sport 1970 KPGC10 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1970-kpgc10-nissan-skyline-2000gt-r
