I'm sure everyone knows friday had some pretty shithouse weather in the afternoon. i know it did because i drove to Newcastle in it, not letting up the whole trip.

here's some pictures i took before the shit hit the fan in belconnen. thought i'd share as they're pretty cool

I hope no one or their cars got damaged in it, we had massive hailstones up in belco. i heard fyshwick got smashed and a guy was killed by a falling tree

A friends car was parked at his work in Newcastle when the storm hit, only a few hail marks on his 2003 Camry and the repair bill is $6500?? Seems a bit steep, considering there is probably only 20 dents all up on boot/roof/bonnet. Insurance covers it, but surely paintless dent removal would be the way to go for most of the dents.

Those are some mad photos, you should have had a crack at getting some mad lightning shots

Yeah i saw the lightning the whole trip up and through sydney, but couldn't click while driving. would have been easy, they were going off every 2 seconds

yea my car was very lucky the gf works at canberra hospital i rang her about 15 minutes before the storm hit saying get my car undercover she is like ok. She moved it then 10 minutes later the storm hit the hospital, she said she saw a roof come off the appartments across the road, tress getting shreaded plus the hospital was evacuated. Then when it had blown over 4 of the people she worked with had smashed windscreens and windows... so in conclusion she only just managed to get the car out of the storm.

    • Hey all, I'm working on a project car and I believe I made some mistakes. I'm looking to remove the clear coat from my car on most panels (except for panels where the paint has blistered, I will sand this), but wanted to know if these steps are correct?   1) Get a red scuff pad (abrasive one) instead of sand paper to remove the shine from the surface 2) get 400 grit sand paper and go over the entire car with a random orbital sander so the surface is smooth and the primer can grab onto something 3) On the blistered paint, go over it with around 120 grit sand paper, go to 240 to smooth out the scratches, then finish on 400 grit. Anything to add in here or any feedback?
    • Agreed, another vote for the Haltech CAN wideband.  No voltage offset errors is a beautiful thing.
    • Just get a Haltech CAN wideband, no need to wire any delay circuits, or relay, etc. Since I've moved to a Haltech CANbus wideband, I have not replaced a single sensor for over 5 years (if not longer, can't remember when moved to Haltach).
    • Small analogue delay circuit with a relay. Just need a trigger, say, fuel pump running for more than 5s or so? Or, you could go full mental and write a sketch for an Arduino.
