Has anyone stalled with thr Racing Beat Ram Air Intake? I was wondering since it is so low to the ground, what would happen if you are forced to drive though a flooded street with water almost knee high. It doesn't rain much where I live but when it does rain sometimes gutters get clogged up and occasionally I cross streets that have deeper water then I thought. Will this be an issue with the Ram Air Intake?

 

either reverse and try a different road or go around it...

 

I think your exhaust clogging up should be your first concern. Remember the banana in the tail pipe?

 

hahahah he said banana

 

exhaust clogging is no problem, exhaust will just bubble out. sucking water into the motor is. very bad

 

The RB intake isn't close to the ground. If you get water into your engine through it, you shouldn't have been driving there in the first place.

 

actually that depends on the amount and how high the rpms are. quart or so is just the thing for cleaning out the carbon. the mississippi on the other hand would be bad.

 

I emailed Racing beat about the ram duct and he said dont drive in 2' of water. If you live somewhere that floods you shouldnt get the ram duct. IMO Use your best judgement. plus 2 feet of water is a lot of water

 

:D :D :D

 

people ask the darndest things eh? :D driving through knee high water in a sports car??? (rear wheel drive sports car btw)

 

uh...don't. Trade your RX-8 with a Jeep Wrangler if you know you're going to be driving through two feet of water frequently.

 

Am I the only one who takes my rx8 water skiing?

 

Invasion08 answered my question, thanks. I didn't expect so many sarcastic responses.

 

really?

 

:D



Oryas...don't take it personally, you gave everyone a laugh and got your question answered...don't sweat it...everyone asks odd questions every once in a while

speaking of funny...back in highschool a girl, tall attractive, eventually ended up in a minor playboy owned magazine (she didn't make it into the original mag...btw I have a pic ), she asked in Chemistry class

"does it rain over lakes?"

 

Knee high bwahahaha that could almost sink ur car.

 

that is why on RB's site it states 'for marine use only' :p :D

 

I didn't mean to offend you, I thought your question was legit.
It was the 2' of water that I found funny and I was posting in response to that.

 

If it's a nekkid one, post a pic or a link in the lounge :D

 

it is nekkid...I might have two pics...one from the actual magazine (after edited for size) and the original she emailed to us.

I can't really post it in the lounge but I can PM a link (I'll put it on imageshack or something like it if I can) or email it :D

 

Sounds good :D

 

Now that is sarcasm raised the highest level.... Well Done :D :D
