Well, no bueno - engine's gone!
It was fun while it lasted.
Looks like the new motor is getting installed afterall! Now I have to wait and see if my insurance company is covering the estimate they'll be getting from my shop.
I'm just curious as to the approval due to aftermarket CAI - it's CARB approved and legal for sale in the US so I don't think it should matter. Sure, if it was a stock intake it may not have hydrolocked but heck - I'm paying for full coverage on this car and it's considered a "non-fault" accident. Wish me luck, more again later and full details on build!
I MISS IT ALREADY!
