but I would be curious to see what the cost is involved in getting them pulled out.

I've seen some cars with roofs like old tin foil. I wonder also what can and cannot be pulled out.

My car tucked safe in the garage... Anyone catch the train during the storm? I got on nice and dry at Subiaco(just beat it to the station) then to my amusement watched everyone else get on at the next stations looking like drowned rats. :blink:

So very very lucky god was on my side that day.

If there is a God, I'm now a believer!

My house got struck by the hail with broken windows, satellite dish & water is leaking through the roof yesterday at 4, on that day I finished class at around 2 & I thought about leaving Curtin & going back home. If I had gone home then my car would have being 100% f**ked as my garage is full with crap) but then decided I better stay & do some work coz of this dam hard assignment that was due at the end of this week.

THANK GOD for that (& also a big thank you to the lecturer who gave me that really hard assignment which made me stay behind :blink: ), my car was left at Curtin car park & therefore undamaged.

I think my car & my dad's car were the only ones that are never garaged on our street that were undamaged. All the cars parked at Tuart College were pretty much f**ked with hail.

im sure hail damage is fully covered if u have full comp insurance but....

a customer came to our workshop for a quote on a rebuild for his engine as his delivery driver drove the car into a 1 meter deep puddle, 3rd cylinder dropped compression, most likely a bent con rod from the water, he had full comp insurance on it but they are only covering half the cost of the engine as it was partly (in my opinion 100%) the drivers fault for being stupid enough to drive into one.. lol there is no hail damage on the car though

i bet there are a few cars out there with bent con-rods since yesterday.. hmm good time to buy i think

Yeah if you want a car with a pock marked body, a half-fcuked engine, and no grease left in the wheel bearings. :blink:

I drove through a pretty long deep puddle other people were too scared of driving through (doing u-turns even 4wds lol). It wouldn't have reached the POD filter but sure would have got to the intercooler. Don't think any water got into the engine as I didn't notice any major differences when driving today. I assume it would be really noticeable if you bent a con-rod like running without a cylinder firing pretty much?

Mates lancer got hit with hail stones and he just recently took the natural disaster off his insurance to get a cheaper premium haha "There are never any natural disasters in perth..."

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
