I would love to see some pictures of the stream crossings in progress. do you cross carefully or at speed?
I would assume since there racing and hes doing hack job mods... he doesnt care about hurting his car. Crossing a stream slowly and going slow around blind corners won't put you on the podium. Balls to the wall. Keep the shiney side up.
hehe, good point. I was just thinking maybe some streams he knows he has to slow down for.
The worst streams are on my weekly Bamfield commute. Those I have to take slow as they are usually wash-outs, and you don't know what's hidden, as opposed to a regular ford of a road through a stream. In the RallyX, there are often water traps that we take a full steam, and risk sucking up a cylinder full of slop. I had literally knocked mud out of the air filter a couple of times at RallyX.
When I found water on my intake (earlier post), it was all the way into the turbo, so I decided to pull the whole she-bang & fix my exhaust leaks as well; luckily the local LordCo has the complete exhaust/turbo gasket kit (on the SHELF!! In Port Alberni!!- Take THAT Canadian Tire, NAPA, and other, lesser, retailers!).
WIWIT, I replaced the turbo with a stock, but ported unit I had from my other Talon, and all the over-size plumbing that went with it, including a nice HKS elbow. Now has WAAAYYY more kick-in-the-butt after 4krpms.
I had to re-use the stock I/C in its stock location for now, but I am still determined to get it hood-mounted.
FYI the battery has also been re-located to former back-seat, so that space is wide-open for tinkering.
