Big thanks to all who attended the event and also those who came on the official cruises.

Lets not get hung up on the cops guys, what I'd like to know however, is what you'd like to see us do differently next time round.

bearing in mind that we cant do anything about cops.

aaand go!

Apologies on behalf of all our states finest, unfortunately they grew a little overzealous... but, also unfortunately there was nothing we could do about the WA Police.

they're a bug on our windscreen however. we will continue to move forward and continue to grow, meanwhile the mainstream media and police just made themselves look like a group of incompetent ignorant half wits.

i urge you to all not be fussed or worried about the small police activity, Rising Sunday IS your network.. we ARE here to help our fellow bredren who got given defecture notices, so if you need anything, or need help... or ANYTHING.

just know that we still have ALL YOUR BACKS.

we don't back down. we're here to fight on your team... so try us!

just know this:

TODAY on June 26 2011 the WA Japanese car and Import Scene came together. people drove from as far as busselton to Geraldton ALL to meet at the one central meet point, Perth...

over 600 cars participated and brought friends as well, everyone congregated, was well behaved and the event was for the most parts a complete success.

meanwhile, however.. the police conducted their little try-hard fun wrecker operation, gave out a total of 20 defect notices and channel 9 news tried their best to attempt to slander us.

hats off to them for being bitter and out-of-touch organisations?

In ANY event... i thinkt That Rising Sunday won this round. and as did the import community of WA.

We thank you ALL for joining on this momentous occasion and NEXT time we will have MORE surprises in store for you!

-Rowan

Excellent event guys, lots of interesting cars there. Not quite All Japan Day (Adelaide) but not far off. Some constructive criticism though (for next year)...

1) Need more than 1 toilet for 300+ people (gold coin donation for toilet use maybe??)

2) Person cooking BBQ needs to be cooking before 11:30am! (Maybe just get some mobile food vans - they'd clean up I reckon).

I find the cops frustrating picking on cars for doing nothing wrong (I'm sure it happened). I thought everyone driving in was perfectly well behaved.

All in all a great event, next year will be even better! Thanks for organising :thumbsup:

Not quite AJD? dude... we had a MONTHS promotion time!!! we have NO sponsors, all the finances were put up by US... give us SOME credit!

toilet - yeeeeaaaah sorry about that one, we honestly did not expect such a massive turn out. so we thought the one toilet would be fine! :)

as for the rest of it - if I may put this in to perspective,

Rising Sunday was organised by:

Socrates - who is under 20 years of age with no prior event coordination experience..

Jason - also under 20 years of age with no prior event coordination experience..

Me - a 25 year old guy with slight experience in event management..

the thing we all had in common was that we just DID this.

we had three friends helping us on the day.. however we:

planned it

named it

located it

budgeted it

requested approval for it

got permission for land usage

designed our own logos

designed our own stickers

PAID FOR EVERYTHING

organised all the food stuffs

organised DJs

Organised ice cream man

MADE THE CAKE AND THE ICING AND DECORATED IT OURSELVES

managed the BBQ

Promoted and marketed the event to be one of perth's fastest growing facebook pages that's been assembled within a MONTH. we're about to crack 1000th like.

we cut our own stickers. we did EVERYTHING...

three people. no staff. no sponsors. no financial backing. no investors. NOTHING...

..just three kids with a dream!!!!!

so cmon man... a toilet??? geeeeeeezzzzz

:)

:wub:

so cmon man... a toilet??? geeeeeeezzzzz

Rowan, it was constructive criticism..... yesterday was the best thing I've to done in the scene since I've been in Perth, I was stoked!

You guys did seriously well, I did say that. :thumbsup:

sorry to the guys who were following me i nearly mislead us to go past the tunnel, there was about 10 cars in front of me when we all turned onto the freeway, then everyone started to slow down and i ended up in front, i was trying to tell people to go around as i didn't know where to go i tried slowing down but everyone else did the same haha, but we got there in the end! and got to go through the tunnel!

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
