I haven't disconnected anything to do with the fuel or gauge  Did you not do the LED kit? Hmm... Odd that all of a sudden would be having such a problem. And just as odd that it simply disappeared Well another eventful day for me... We got about 100mm of rain in 30mins today as the first "summer" storm hit... around 40minutes after it died down, I decided to drive home from my Girlfriend's house... The storms were in the distance so I thought I'd be alright... As I got onto the main road, I went to overtake a Corolla, They started to speed up so I leveled the speed and sat at 80km/h (the speed limit). As we went over the hill I spotted some water, and preemptively I took my foot off the accelerator, and began braking. Obviously they did not see the water, because they hit at the 80km/h and instantly dropped to around 10-15km/h... Their splash blinded me, and bam I was aquaplaning into their lane... Luckily, it lasted half a second and I was able to keep the car relativly straight... Overall, a freaking scary experience...

Wow.
That's a pretty decent puddle to throw up that much water - glad you're alright and that the car is too. -------------------- Has no more Celicas

It's against the law in Australia to say negative things about the roads provided for you.

Applied to Hertz, "Utility Worker." Oil changes and tire rotation, other odd maintenance otherwise, for the rental fleet. Not glamorous but it's an automotive start, and better than the current gig.

^Good luck. It's a good paying job, at least at the dealerships anyway.

Thank you. Higher base pay than what I make now, and almost guaranteed overtime @ 1.5 the usual rate. Fine with me...not getting my hopes up yet though, as I have no professional auto experience.

Yesterday I drove over 50 miles for no damn good reason, so that's exciting.

These "JDM pockets" everyone talks about, are they apparently rare or something?
