Just a warning to anyone about the storms in/heading your way..

Just started to hail in glenmore park region (penrith).. so if it starts to rain get your babies under cover..

Im sitting here watching it hit my car :( dont look to be very big but its a heavy downpour, so they are hitting with force.

edit: just went out to have a look, only lasted a few minutes.. about the size of a 5c piece when u put 2 together.. no damage that I can see :)

Hmmm, I just heard thunder, and I'm in Toongabbie. My car is outside because I was out earlier and have to go back out again soonish, but unless I receive a phone call from the mate I'm supposed to go and see, I might put it in just to be safe...

wow you guys got off easy..... had 15-20 mins of non stop hail here in castle hill, they were double the size than those balls of styrofoam you get in beam bags and stuff....

They were small but they were comming down in the bazillions with a force to match, my street looks like europe.

(oh and the skylines overinsured and at my house so it might be convenient of it hailed lol)

here are some pics

as you can see we are at one of the highest altitudes in the sydney metro area..... maybe why we got hit harder as the hail storm clouds try to get over the hill....

    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
