[DIDZ]

It won't sound awesome when water gets sucked through in the rain....

[NGOLF.U]

yeh there is no problem with water at all... water doesnt get to it... its rained 5-6 times since i have had it and its all good...just need to avoid puddles

[aprr32]

Just put the same one on my GIV R32 and it sounds awesome!

Your pic is not working anymore. But from what iv'e worked out, you have a very low mounted CAI.

Surly it can't be any worse than mine. I have a MAF pipe from GEN3 V8 as my CAI (attached to the CDA) and it sits level with the euro lip on my car. Facing straight down I have never had a water issue with it, and it's only 4" from the ground. I have had to kill the throttle over some big water traps though, just in case! though i'm sure a 4" induction is alitle over kill on a VR6.

i have a very similar thing in my R32, never had any issues. But the side where the filter is in my car is blocked off from the front with a grille, and bottom with that protective plastic.
I live in perth, and it rarely rains here, so its all good

Reckon it wouldn't have helped the last couple of days lol...
I had to navigate around 2 literal rivers last night leaving work. Blackburn Rd in Syndal had a poor Celica stuck in the middle of the road with water washing across the top of it's bonnet. I ducked down Coleman Parade to Springvale Road, only to find a similar river running across the bottom of the hill just after High St Road.

I think we've had a years worth of rain in 2 days here!!

Yea I reckon! I live just down the road by the sounds of it,l and we're getting drenched!!
I love it tho!

I had to go through one or two of those puddles. The first one, the engine made a really weird sound like it was hollow !!

The second, After I went through the car was stuttering a bit on full throttle but fine on part. After about five minutes it was fine. I took the airbox apart today and there was one very small hole in the filter and the filter had warped and started to go out of shape.

What damage could water have caused if it had gotten in ? The MAF must have gotten a little wet to cause the jerking. The car is 100% now though...

Need to order a filter, where can I get a BMC panel filter to replace stock one ?

P.S.
I reckon my car would have been dead if I had, had a CAI down near my temperature sensor.
