yes a few drops is bad if it gets in
if enough water gets in there them it'll hyrolock
thatsa no good

i meant then it'll it'll hydrolock
yo don't want that to happen
me and 2 of my boys were in 12th grade one really bad night in the fall of 97 it rained a lot and we drove into what i'd say was like a pond on a main road which sloped down and there was an intersection and then went back up a small incline and it was flooded and my boy Giuseppe(mufuka been drivin since he was 11 you'd think he'd know better- no joke his dad put him behind the wheel then, i guess he wanted him to be a good driver - he fucckking learned stick at 13 in his brothers 83 318i, we used to take it out when we were in 8th grade! i shiit you not) was driving my man Alex's 84 318i and i was in the back and we see the water and alex is like SLOW DOWN! and Joe(a.k.a Giuseppe) is like we got this and we're goin like 25-30, so next thing fuccking water splashed up on to the winsheild, that made joe slow down, we went a few feet and then the car shut off and we had to push it out of the water that was above my knee! and we triend to get it started and couldn't , we didn't know at the time that water got in the air intake but alex thought so (my european friends are so much smater than meand they're awsome drivers)
so any way Alex's dad had to take apart the whole engine almost and change the oil madd times and other stuff i forgot what else he did
i know your knot talkin 'bout any thing that hard core but any water in the engine is bad

oh the car still worked after that, yea alex's dad knows a few things about cars -crazy that Romanian(he's madd cool though)

My 90 civic died right after I went through a street that was flooded. I couldn't start it and everything went dead. That thing took me about 5-10 minutes to get it back to start. Back then, I didn't know s**t about cars.

I have a CAI Icebox like the Comptech one, with the pipe going down to the bumper from my airbox (with filter inside).

I'm wondering, is water an issue?
