Yeah its pretty tight, but it is covered atleast, mine is covered everywhere except hte front, i may ask my dealer if they can get some sort of heat shield type thing put on for me if need be until then ill make due and just be careful of puddles nad check on it and see how dirty it gets, then clean it.

 

You could try a different filter.

Damn you live in a nice area. Sweet house.

 

Thanks bro, that is my parents house. It is quite nice, we aren't rich or anything they have to work pretty hard to make it look like we are. I appreciate them for supporting me on the accord and modding it out, I am paying for all of it which makes it better for me, they bought my first car for me 5 years ago, they love the accord alot!


Hype, I may check out the filters with the shield, i may ask my dealer if there is a way they can put a metal shield or something like that to cover the front, I know a guy that has a custom civic and accord up there as well that may help.

 

nice ride! That bumper fits perfectly!

How about getting the matching fogs? That seems like it would cover it up...

 

That is one reason I didn't get that part meshed, what fogs would you have in mind? I want something that looks like it matches around it.

 

i've seen some people with the black widow kit, using the lexus GS fogs. looks hot

 

I tought I saw a car with your kit with matching fogs, let me check...

hydrolock is when water is sucked into the cylinders. air compresses well in the cylinders (9.0:1, 10.0:1, 10.5:1, etc) but water does not compress well. not even a little bit. a little water getting up there is ok as the firing of the cylinder vaporizes the water and it passes right out the exhaust as water vapor. no problem. it's when too much gets in there, to the point that it fills the entire cylinder space at TDC (top dead center - when the piston is all the way up near the head) when things get bad. broken connecting rods are the most common result, and if you are lucky, the broken connecting rod won't rip a hole in the block as it gets whipped around by the crankshaft.

having the car just stall is because enough water gets in to prevent sufficient combustion from occuring, but not enough to fill the cylinder at TDC. cranking the engine usually gets enough of it out to start up again. this is not hydrolock, though.
