Default Damn Florida Rain!

Came out of School last night to this..







After a few hours the water went down and I was able to get to the car.. Car runs fine but does have about a half inch of water inside. The car is now at the shop where I spent all day stripping the interior.

If you want to take my car for a test drive let me know.

You're going to LOVE this turbo. Spools early and holds up top. Perfectly matched for this motor IMO.

Can't wait to see what you guys do with this...log mani top mount I presume?

I saw your car as I was riding my bike through that same mess last week. I don't know if you realize how high the water got, but it was touching the hub of my 30" bicycle wheels, so it was about 15" deep IN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD!! Over where you were, it was nearing the top of your tire. That was just after the worst part of the rain stopped, so it could have been even higher.

I've seen your car out there before and it looks sweet. I hope everything is good with it.
