Media Statement

Rally Australia Protest Rally

Released Wednesday the 30th March 2005

Russell Franklin Motorsport Owner Russell Franklin today confirmed that

there would be another Save Rally Australia Protest March this time

being on State Parliament. The government are elected by the people of

this state and as such should work for the benefit of this State not

other States. If this Government thinks for one moment that the

Thousands of people who have volunteered there time and $$$ to make this

event the success it is today are going to stand back and let the Rally

simply be given away on a gold platted platter they are so wrong. Mr

Franklin said

I would challenge the Minister for Tourism to a Public Debate on the

benefits to the Community that Rally Australia provides. There are the

Hundreds of jobs that are created as a result of the event, the huge

impact on Businesses in the small Country Towns that the event visits,

the estimated 66 million potential Tourists that watch the event on TV

and not to mention the Large numbers of people that visit from both

Interstate and Overseas.

The Government has to change its mind and admit that this decision is a

big mistake. If it doesn't there is every possibility that this Land

mark event will be lost forever and could end up leaving Australia's

Shores. My number one priority is ensuring that the event stays in Perth

and if that can't be achieved then to ensure it stays in Australia.

We may have had a small turnout at our Rally last week but at a time

when people have to work it is going to be difficult. This is why we

will march at night. I anticipate that we will get 500 to 1000 people

attending this rally.

The Rally will take place on Tuesday the 5th of April 2005 at 6.00pm. We

will march from Forest Place along William Street into Hay Street then

up to the Steps of Parliament House where it is hoped that the Minister

for Tourism or Premier will address us. All Police and City of Perth

Approvals have been obtained. We ask that people bring a banner and a

loud voice. We will depart Forest Place at 6.15pm.

ONLY DIRECT ACTION WILL SAVE TELSTRA RALLY AUSTRALIA

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
