V35 drivers don't 'cruise' in wet weather??

I drove to Sydney 2 weeks ago (in the rain), went on a cruise with 22 other Stagea owners (in the rain) and drove 8hrs home (you guessed it, in the rain) :happy:.

Hail is what I am scare of, Leon. :P

Ahh, OK, say no more. It would be a real downer for everyone to get caught in a hail storm. There's been a bit of that going around lately, at least down my way, so it will pay to be safe.

Pretty sure on Thursday they said Logan looked like it was hit by a snowstorm because there was so much hail.

Yes, it was Sheldon. My work area (Crestmead) got spared.

Speaking of weather, it rained heavily in Waterford area early morning until about 8am. Now, it's fine. Cruise can go ahead if it stays like this until afternoon. Please check back then just to be sure.

Also, anybody from Gold Coast area experiencing rain this afternoon, please post up. Thanks.

what time is the meet and what is happening ? Rain is no longer happening. from what i can see anyway. Stopped raining this morning or last night. Sky look pretty clear

I cleaned my car yesterday thinking i'd better do it because if its raining this morning i'm screwed. Just went outside... It appears my car is crazy dirty again. Thanks rain / wind / dust. I hate you.

I think i may be a little bit late and it looks a bit grim outside i hope it clears up

Hey Joshua, meet is at 3pm at car park in front of Beenleigh Marketplace shopping centre, and departing at 3:30pm to Gold Coast. If you still have my number, let me know if anything. I will call you if you haven't arrive by 3:30pm.

See you soon.

Hey Nate, meet is at 3pm at car park in front of Beenleigh Marketplace shopping centre. Weather's looking good so this is going ahead. I will see you if you can make it.

Where's Cobey by the way?

Hey Sheldon, mine's quite dirty too. Just got it back on Wednesday from repairing the front lip and haven't wash it yet. :P

I gave mine a quick dry clean :) no idea where all the dust came from suddenly. My car went from pearl White to almost gun metal overnight :P

edit: by dry clean i dont mean i got it dry cleaned. Haha. I just went over the exterior with a dry cloth :P

Where was everyone else?

Hi Leon, sorry I thought you wouldn't come if the weather turn bad. Plus we got stuck at Pacific Fair undercover car park and couldn't pm anyone because no connection in car park.

So sorry, mate. The weather just turned ugly and couldn't go out anywhere from Pacific Fair until 5pm.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
