I was on my way home from a friends house, i was already pissed off because my car was hiccuping(code 7, i fixed it i believe), and the rain started up again. I was on a road with standing water and couldnt switch lanes. There was enough water to get sucked up into my iceman cai and my car started to sound weird so i pushed in the clutch and shut the engine off, and coasted into a parking lot. I waited a few minutes and couldnt get it started. Eventually, it turned over enough to get running, i had to give it some gas to keep it that way, white smoke(water i assume) was coming out of my exaust like it was 30 degrees outside. I popped off my cold air extension, water dripped out, wiped out the excess in the intake tube as best i could, drove home without the filter on. I got my filter off, its soaked, cutting the cold air extension dow so that the filter is beside the fans pretty much.

cliff notes: fugg this rain its almost taken 2 NC CW itrs

I hope you Triad boys' cars aren't in too bad of shape in the end. This is why I try not to drive my DC as much as I would like to...that and theives.

 

damn casey...glad to hear that it still runs i sure would hate to see another cw gone....

 

fo real, i think the rain's out to get the triad cw's. luckily i'm away at college, and the arrrrr is parked at home. so i couldn't drive it even if i wanted to. hopefully it's safe at home, unless parker's stealin' parts off of it. i will be one pissed off dude if i come home and the cf hood is on parker's stunna arrrrr.

 

Good thing you shut down.... know some rice-boy who was revving all over the place and he bonked his motor

Is it possible to hydrolock the car with a 'short ram intake' ?

 

By then your swimming, so don't worry
It is possible but unlikely due to its hight

 

hight - height

 

Becareful w/ that bypass vavle..i almost blew my engine w/ that Sh*t~! Wasn't even funny dude..Just a fair warning...
