Boosted Falcon

not good mate

i had to battle through alot of water to get home tonight.... alot of road's closed or half closed.
with some people in front of me going to slow through the water and making me mighty nervous !

yeah not cool. took plugs out and full of water, intake full of water, tried cranking motor over by hand without plugs and it wont budge.

so many roads closed. is a bloody nightmare

Have you got insurance Dylan?

yes but with the whole no rego i dont know what happens there man. guessing its a loop hole for the **** to get out of.

thats fucked man... hopefully insurance dont **** you round...

No good at all Dylan.

insurance is shannons yea? should still be sweet man, considering i asked bec when i got mine through her if i would still be covered if the car wasnt in my name yet...

just tell shannons you didnt even know the car had no rego... cos you didnt get a fine from the cops did you?

No good Dylan.

to bad mate.
sucks big time.
my sisters boyfriends car got the same shit.
i wanted to go check out how bad it was out there but then got told how bad so didnt wanna kill my car.
it happened so dam quickly though.
my backyard was nearly flooded so bad it came in we had to sweep the water away from the door.
cheers josh.

That's pretty aids, even though it is a holden

How did you manage it though? The intake on the OTR is quite high off the ground...

fark me, that is bad, so many farked over with floods and shit this year.

hope insurance comes through.

Sucks to hear dude. If you can get insurance coverage, it sounds like a good opportunity for a stroker!

what u going to do now mate

hit the bottle i'd say. hard.

he did actually do just that justa6, right now hes asleep on the couch with a dick drawn on his forehead

Pics or it didn't happen!

With the car lowered it would have been under a meter of where the OTR sits. So it could e done really easy. Deep enough puddle/going through at a reasonable pace it would easily go over the bonnet.
Also saw a navara go through a decent puddle and drenched some poor bitch on a bike. Lols happened.

Who the **** attempts to go through water that's even half a metre deep?

I'd be interested to see how high an OTR on a VE is compared to the stock intake on my NC - anyone wanna measure a VE for me?

I'd go through half a meter of water in falcon. I've done it before lol. Although I followed another car so it cleared it out abit lol

i tried nailing a bitch on a bike tonight with water in my liberty lol... was about half a meter high

TISK TISK TISK Dylan
Cheers

lol i guess thats about the best responce id expect from you mate.
but long story short- was driving in worst rain i think i ever had, couldnt see 2foot infront of me.
was following seth and saw he went through water and before i had a chance to stop i was in the water then BANG and something went bang and car died. had some people stop and help us push it out of the water.
and as my radiator is on a lean to suit the OTR im assuming thats how so much water go in there.

due to the rain being soo bad i didnt know about the water at this roundabout mate. if id known, i wouldnt of gone through

so anyway i made a claim yesturday with RACV. fingers crossed for me boys. think ill need all the luck i can get.
with any luck it will be getting assesed this week sometime

On the off chance your claim is denied, I know someone who would be interested in purchasing it from you.

Fingers crossed it doesn't come to that though

Thats pretty shit. I've always heard about this, but have only heard of it happening to 4WDs.

The OTR would be similar height to the NC. I'd say the difference being it's aimed straight into the manifold, where on an E-Series, the water would have travel uphill a bit.

On the bright side, LSx stroker crate motors are mega cheap, and our dollar is good.

Yeah fair enough if you didn't see it due to the rain, I was more talking about people who do it on purpose (I watched a BMW X5 die a watery death in 2009 - it was following a pajero, the pajero pulled over to do a u-turn to avoid the water but the X5 guy drove around him, massive bow wave then glug glug glug....tow truck time)

Really sad to see that happen to such a nice ute! are you going to remove the otr for the inspection? i know i would be!
U never know if they do cover it you might be able to wangle some sort of tuffer engine??

water can be deceptive as hell too, it might look a lot shallower than it really is...

so you were driving around after you found out it was unregistered?

insurance would definitely try to use that against you i would think

Sorry to hear about this mate.
Am suprised you were driving it after finding out it was unregistered though lol

Is it only the motor that got damaged?

What is one worth from the wreckers?
