Isn't it a bad idea having it there though in case in gets wet?

Yeah seems crazy! Doesnt look like its sealed very well either.

This post has been lots of fun...Look here...look there...look bloody everywhere! hehehe

wasn't fun for me... lol

any ideas how to make it water safe? its going to be in my 4wd coupe. to be honest I dont plan on doing any offroading so serious I would have to worry about becoming a boat but I would rather not breakdown because of something preventable...

cheers

Same but I will say that I have been in water upto the top of the wheel arches in my 01 Forester with the stock air intake. The air filter has gotten wet in mud/water a few times... Never had an issue with the ECU though.

Yeah i can imagine you've been tearing your hair out over this. Didnt mean to make light of the situation but from the OUTSIDE its been funny. Im sure when you've finished & look back on it you'll have a good chuckle lol.

About waterproofing it i dunno if you can use sealant? Or is that the "dodgy Bros" way lol. Taza says he's been up to top of wheel arches...sounds like bit of a gamble tho.

well at this stage I just want to get the motor n running gear into my coupe. once its growling then i'll worry myself. I could see a plastic/fibreglass box with rubber seals fitting.

cheers

wheel arches? haha i've been well over the bonnet, when i was stock, woops, never good,
even with the snorkel now, still not good going in water that deep,
its okay, if you go straight in/out of puddles, but any length of time in water, or getting stuck in water, and your up shit creek very quickly
