Long story short, there is burst water main at mill point road that has eroed the freeway and freeway is closed at this point.

Suggest you call transperth as we've just heard that some bus routes are getting through whilst others have been cancelled.

Traffic is litterally parked atm and they are trying to divert onto Mill Point Road... we all know at the best of times its not really a nice intersection... :rant:

suggest taking another way home tonight. :wave:

-miss pie

To all who are unaware, there are major traffic problems that have occurred because of two burst large water mains.* One is on the Kwinana freeway at the intersection of Mill Point Road which is causing major traffic congestion.* The Freeway is closed and will be all night as traffic is diverted into South Perth.* Traffic at last report was banked up past Glendalough Station on the Mitchell.

The other is in William St in the City which is also closed.* The combination of these has created havoc with the transport system as a whole throughout the outer City areas and personnel are advised to consider their best alternative route home.

Kwinana Freeway heading south at Mill Point Road is flooded. All

southbound lanes are blocked to traffic.

All northbound lanes open.

We are advising motorists to exit at Great Farmer Freeway or Mill Point

Road.

Restricted access vehicles are not approved to use the Graham Farmer

Freeway.

It would be prudent to divert Restricted access vehicles off the freeway

prior to the flooding at either Hutton Street or Leach Highway.

Traffic is extremely heavy on the approach to the flooded area.

Emergency crews are on site directing traffic.

there is a semi trailer caught in the middle of the flooding, right at

the mill point road exit southbound. It is fully laden with bricks and

stones etc and is sinking into the road due to the waterlogging of the

road surface.

two friggin hours diverting down to freo and then back towards applecross was NOT fun. (and I left before 5pm to try and beat the rush - HA). Good thing I got TV in my car...and all those people who thought i'd never get a chance to watch it...I'll have you know I watched the entire 5pm news on 10, all of the channel 7 news at 6 and still caught a bit of neighbours...

I went thru that water at around @1pm today and was only crawling thru traffic for like 4mins.Everybody was going single lane style closest to the wall.Funny to see but not for the peeps houses.

there was also a bit of a pileup near UWA, intersection of Winthrop ave and Stirling hwy... i had to detour and take a scenic route thru Kings park just to get thru to Subiaco. I came out on the other side of Rokeby rd and cars were piled up to there. So that means the line on Winthop went from Stirling hwy up past Sir Charlies and past Rokeby rd. that was awful.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
