phil Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 so the other night during the big storm my dad borrowed my car because his was in the tranny shop. he calls me the next day and says the starter went out on the car. I told him that was impossible because it had never had a problem to start with and if he got the car to start then it wasn't the starter:doh: . so I go over to his house today where the car is, and it was actually down the street from his house. (strange I think to myself )so I open the door and the floor has water soaked through the floor:nono:. I immediately know the issue. I put the key in the ignition and it doesn't make a move. it clicks but almost to tell me its locked. I already know, hydro lock.. I pop the hood pull the intake and it was soaking wet. so now im going to go make a last ditch effort to drain the oil pull the plugs and hope to god it isn't toast. I have another setup in my garage but I am no where near being complete and this would set me back atleast a year from my goal. so as for now this day is officially a failure.

spankis Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Yea, unless he just can't, I would 100% make him fix it. If you're on good terms with him though, I would think he would be honest and offer to anyway..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 he's gonna help but I didn't want to run that motor yet. and he's not going to pay for my upgrades. so now I kinda stuck using another stock lt1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 just out of curiosity, do you have a CAI ( especially one that filters from outside the engine compartment ) or is this w/ the stock intake setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimmel1647545512 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 The man blames it on his dad haha Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure Phillip..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 and yeah, call the insurance. I think your street got flooded, don't you? If there is water damage throughout the car and the engine is locked, there's a good chance of it being totalled, don't forget that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 WOW that sucks to hear and it's your dad too, I take it he wasn't the one who taught you about cars...I hope. Well good luck getting it fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
