Guys I can't stress enough to use the search function. I typed in the is "which brand coilovers" and then clicked on date to bring up the most recent info to find that thread. Lots of good info but just have to search for it.

I know and I try. Lot of the new members don't remember s2ki in the old days where a questioned asked a million times would get you flamed. You can go in under the hood and see what coilover thread like four or five times in the same day with the same answers. There's a reason why there is so much garbage to look through to get an answer and this is one of the reasons.

I also remembered not too long ago, we didn't even get those even. It was one FS post right after another.

Baby steps! After the for sale clean up and advent of the sub for sale forum for us, now its time to stay on topic and clean up threads. You guys were complaining about not being able to find stuff. I'm working on that solution.

I got a question for all ya'll houston S2k owners running CAI's. I have read several posts regarding CAI's collecting rain inside the intake tubing thru a lil hole thats in the hood and the water seems to drip right on top of the filter. I know for sure thats a fact. Now my question is what do you guys do when its raining...go back to stock (like i just did) or any other solutions.

This does not apply to people who dont daily drive their S2k, i do...therefore im concerned. I dont want to hydrolock my motor. Anyways, as we all know that houston's canal system sucks and it gets flooded pretty often almost evertime it rains. SO what do you guys do? Does that umbrella over the filter mod really work for houston or not?

By the way heres the post that has the mod im referring to (incase someone isnt aware of it). CAI Filter Umbrella Mod

Cheers
Robbie

Robbie, for future references, you can ask questions in our technical/mechanical thread. The umbrella mod is like a shower cap deal. You would have to be submerged in a good bit of water in terms of height for any hydrolocking to occur. My previous s2000 had a aem cai with no umbrella and made it out fine. I daily'd my s2000 too if that helps. Umbrella mod gives peace of mind.
