How to prevent Flooding - Step 1 - From Chile -

This is been the status of my car the last 3 days... Flooded very badly...




I took the elbow out to start working on Deflooding and found out the better way to prevent your car to do it...

Get your kids out of the 7 Parts Room, specially the FMIC you are about to install...





Hopefully a won´t find a Matchbox RX7 in the front housing....

What is that a easter egg?
So you installed your FMIC with the easter egg floating around.
and then you started it up and it got caught in the TB?

Can you imagine if you had ported that TB?

As some of you guys, my 7 haves a "room" in the house... Full of parts laying arround everywhere...

Martin got in the room somehow and first thing he does is hiding some stuff in the I/C, probably is so light that the shop who installed the FMIC couldn`t tell there was something wrong.

Will post some pictures of the mean baby later...

That is so great! I laughed so hard when I read what had happened. Hopefully in the future he does not hide smaller items in parts. That could have ended really ugly. **Still laughing**

I wish all fixes were that simple. Sometimes you can't help but just laugh at the kids.

Me and my boss were working on a 240sx a few weeks ago at the shop where I work and we found pliers in one of the intercooler pipes.
