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"

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
