NOOOO!!

I just removed the cowl when it started pouring like crazy! Stupid Texas weather...

So i quickly threw the air filter back in, wasnt able to screw it in tho and closed the hood.

i also put towels where the windshield meets the hood.

i should be okay right??

As long as an Armadillo doesn't get under the hood and relieve itself down your intake, your good.

Terrance, which mods in your sig are you removing for the service?

elephino · 09-13-2009, 02:32 PM

lol i moved the car to the garage and finished the install... so far so good! unfortunately its been raining for 3 days straight, so im looking forward to some dry road to fully see the jb3 1.4's potential!!

darkphantom · 09-13-2009, 02:48 PM

garaged whenever its not being driven!

p.s. it was crazy last night, lightning left and right, but no thunder nor any rain....just eerie!

Meth kit, stett charge pipe, jb3, dci. Took me maybe and hour. And this time only the radar detector because I have it hardwired and my sunroof isn't working properly so I don't want them blaming it on that.
