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!

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
