Hydrolock

[bluehatch17]

I hyrdrolocked and my car was totaled. Not my civic. Insurance covered in full. Water got inside the cabin, it was bad…

I hope you didn’t show up to the dealer with the intake still installed.

Didn't really have a choice. I work 60 hours a week and had to be towed.

Update for everyone with good news! Insurance authorized a replacement engine with less miles then my current one! Definitely going with a 27 Won intake with the new one, definitely seems like the safer option for us Florida boys

Yeah, my friend at Honda was pretty confident in it. Swinging by there today to unlock my Ktuner unit from the car just so it doesn't cause any issues for them or for me.

And that's the reason I only went CAI once. My area is prone to flooding.

Blake, good luck with everything.

Appreciate it man ?yeah usually my area isn't too bad but the city up north I've been around since getting with the new girl is alot more prone (which is where it happened) so the 27 Won is probably gonna be my best bet. I'm just happy I hadnt done my intercooler and pipes yet

State Farm. My guy at Honda tried to get a new engine which they denied but authorized a used one. So I'm getting I think a 37-40k mile engine which is less then mine had at 55k.
