Anyone else have trouble with their 7s keeping water out? Water dripps off my fuse area when it rains hard, and everyhting under my hood gets soaked when it rains and my belts will slip, anyone else have that trouble? will new seals for around my hood fix the hood water problem?

I had a problem with water in my FC's bay. I never worried about it much, the airbox was sealed so not much can be hurt by a lil water. As far as your belts slipping it's hard to see that. It's possible but hard to imagine unless there's oil on them. Water+Oil=Super sllick ****.

I would suggest getting like a gravel pan or whatever to help keep water from spashing up, you can put a sreen behind the fan if you have an elec one, and you can buy the thick weatherstripping (super sticky ****) from wally world to line the hood. If it were a concern to me that's what I would do.

Which would be why you get "super sllick ****". Super sllick **** is even more slippery than super slick ****.

(Apologies in advance - but I've always taken my humour at the expense of others - I was a mistreated child!)
