Well, maybe I'll lock my engine up some day. I avoid puddles and drive slow in downpours but I drive in the rain.

Had it on about 2 years now.

I had mine for 2 years and was fine with myself driving the car. I was careful, but someone else hydrolocked my engine. I just decided this time around it wasn't worth the risk.

Ahhh, I believe I will go ahead and get the CAI and the Hydroshield then. I don't usually drive through puddles anyways so I think I will be alright.

actually, i wish i didn't get a CAI. i want to go back to stock but can't seem to find my stock airbox at the moment. but it's not because of the chance of hydrolock, i'm not worried about that. i just don't like the whistle at idle all that much nor do i need the extra HP since i don't drive that aggresively

i got an extra airbox in the garage.................i'd be happy to give it to you for free

its probably hidden on the ceiling.

when we move, i'll find it and let you know.

Ahh, I hear that it gives you better gas mileage? Few guys at clubrsx get like 35mpg with cai, I could have read it wrong but I know they were getting 35mpg hehe

I don't know what the whistle sounds like but I always think of a jet engine when I hear a whistle lol so I might like it

haha

I have my stock airbox sitting in my room DJ... but the screws are stripped on it so you'd have to cut them and get new ones to replace the filter... and some of the screws that hold it in place are gone (realized that when I installed my SRI, good to know it was just hanging there

)

djbme83 · 07-10-08, 10:59 PM

i'm thinking mine is in my parents' attic. i looked briefly a couple weeks back but no luck. i might do a more thorough search when i go back there

n0s_speed · 07-11-08, 01:34 AM

well, let us know if you can't find it.
