Yea its gunna be a biggy. Cat 5,sposed to landfall, late weds early thurs south of cairns. Most of the mines here in central qld are gettin evaced already. Good luck you boys up north,stay safe

Yeah I heard a lot of the mines have shut down and evacuated. They started doing mandatory evacuations in Townsville today from suburbs right on the coastline that are expected to completely flood.

My sources were actually two from last night, one military and the other from a meeting in the police force with rescue services. Both were pretty much saying similar things, obviously planning for the worst.

At the moment the situation looks a bit better for Townsville as the cyclone has moved a bit north. Definetely a lot worse for Cairns though.

I think Townsville will mainly cop a lot of the water while Cairns will have to deal with the majority of the wind.

Either way, not to bloody good.

Considering what has happened in Brisbane and the level of warning that has been given with all the cyclone stuff..... I would be (and am) keeping my car in the safest possible spot.

I think insurance companies are going to be as unhelpful as they are allowed to be

if your house and car is destroyed by a cyclone its covered under insurance yeah??

Yeah it is ment to be.

Problem with me is if my car got written off, the payout they would give me is around 1/4 of what the thing owes me and I would die inside. Also I am ment to be selling my motorbike this Friday, so i'm praying to god nothing happens to it. I managed to squeeze it into the garage between our two cars. My old man couldn't pull that off at his place though so his bike is now in the dining room lol.

Jesus christ that is scary.

Seriously, i'm going to be that dickhead you people hear about next week that got killed trying to save his car from going under water lol. "Holy shit, isn't that Phil screaming and waving his hands near that....oh crap."

*Runs to garage to adjust Tein suspension to maximum height*

don't stress phil, you'll be right where you are. mt louisa should shelter you a little from the wind.

i am still lmao at your sig :laugh:

let me know if ya need a hand, work has given us tomorrow off to cyclone prep our homes.

also the army has been warned out to help with recovery if/when its needed.

Hahaha nah i'm all good. Just gotta wait it out and see I suppose. Going to suck balls once the power and water goes out though. I like my meals and canned shit and bottled water just aint going to cut it for me!

Upgarded to Cat5 - 295kmh winds predicted, a meter of rain, 4-6 meter king tide x 2. WTF

I'd be heading south in a hurry this morning.

Lol @ Pre Cyclone parties being held. The Aussie way.

I think i'd wait for the after party folks.

"I dont think were in Cairns anymore Toto"

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 馃ぃ And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 馃お
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
