I feel pretty stupid asking this, but I tried searching and couldnt find any answers. Do you guys with GT-4 hoods drive in rain, and if so, do you do anything to stop rain from pouring into the grille on top of the hood? What would need to be protected inside the bay (5sfe)? The intake quickly comes to mind in order to prevent hydrolock.

I also have a question similar to this. Those that have FMIC - is rain a big problem when driving?

That would suck if they did because point of having FMIC is for it to be as open as possible for maximum cooling.







ps. I havent had one of my friend yet complain about problems with there intercoolers in the rain.

no i believe that he wanted to know that since there is not hot intercooler in there, if the rain could get to the intake and cause hydrolock, i dont think that he was asking if rain on a fmic was bad
