"The Victorian government on Monday announced that householders in the capital would be able to hand-water gardens at any time and wash cars at home when water restrictions are eased to stage 2 for the first time in four years......

.....The restrictions will be eased from level 3a to level 2 from September 1 following heavy rains and water storage levels rising to almost 40 per cent, their highest level in almost three years."

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.

Nothing like an election coming up to get the sweeteners going, ah well, dumb bogans will still vote for them.

And WTF are they doing. 39.9% is not full, so it is rather irresponsible to lighten restrictions going into spring/summer...

Gah! Why would they ease water restrictions when we are still under 50%? Keeping them strict isn't too hard and it's helping fill the dams. If we go back to dry now then it's just going to damage the supply even more >_< The drought isn't over yet, no offence but I think the water would be more useful going on our crops and flora/fauna, rather than on our cars. Other than that hooray for more water, haven't seen this much at my fams property in over 10 years :D

those car washes are soo annoying first sign off sun and its an 11bty mile line, plus my car only gets in/out by about 1mm not very low friendly

plus the minute u get jibbed waiting for it to go from soap to rinse and vice versa dodgy kents

Agreed. 100%

I love washing my car but this is so stupid. Haven't they learnt anything from the droughts? What's wrong with continuing to save our water until we're atleast above 50%?! We've survived this long without watering shit and using grey water for the cars. The farmers would be pissed, and rightfully so.

i 2nd that

if we start washing cars etc from home, water use will go up and we are approaching summer so not such a good idea to lower the restrictions n like said were not above 50% yet

so keep saving the water guys

They are citing the new north-south pipeline and the F*****N extremely environmentally unfriendly desalination plant as the driving forces to allow the easing of restrictions.

As for me, I wash my car with a hose, water my garden, and water my lawn whenever I want - from my rainwater tank.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
