You're right about no other cars being involved and how quick it happened. Driving the car in the rain after picking it up actually made me glad for horrible traffic.

As an aside are you going to change the "ATE SIX" plate to "ATE RAIL"? What, too soon??

Glad you're OK.
Just wondering, was the traction control on when you hydroplaned? TC has saved me in some pretty hairy rainy situations. It seems to work very well. As long as it's on. |

Curious. Nanny mode, or pedal dance? I'm fine bopping in and out of hydro, and am extremely annoyed by the nannys. They throw off my rhythm to the point where it feels dangerous. Queue the flamers. I pedal dance for rain & snow.
edit: haha... I see windsrfr already asked.

88% Ceramic tint (@50% tinting) goes a long way to keep the interior from turning into a scorching hot shifter.

Out of necessity, had to install an aftermarket intake hose on the car. The previously mentioned EL header install was a bit more of a tight squeeze than I realized, and the header pipe actually ended up contacting that little ballsack resonator that's right below the 90° bend of the stock intake hose (image below). A little bit of melting occurred before I realized the problem and I got a pinhole in that resonator from it melting through. Wasn't planning on messing with the stock intake, but also wasn't in the mood to try to find a right size cap to put in place of that part, nor try to get the part and most likely be told that it's only sold as a whole intake assembly, nor hunt down a replacement part secondhand, all the while driving around with an intake leak. I used a big zip tie looped around the sack resonator and the bigger box resonator that's adjacent to the airbox to pull the part away from the header pipe and keep it clear while I waited a few days for my part to show up.
Bought a Perrin inlet hose and got it installed, nothing new or cosmic to most folks here, of course. I know Mishimoto also makes a hose, and that was the original replacement part I had in mind, but the cost difference between the two didn't seem justifiable to me, so I went with the Perrin and saved myself about $50. I had to remove the pulley cover to access the PCV hose and the hose clamp at the throttle body, and that's about the only thing that made the 5 minute job a little longer. Of course the sound generator plumbing is mostly gone, too. I've seen a few people pull out the entire assembly up to the firewall, but the cap they provide you is meant to install over the piece of hose that comes out of the firewall and attaches to the frame down below the battery shelf, so that stayed in place and was capped as needed. I got rained on during the job, so everything looks extra dirty and dusty under the hood, but the job's done, everything is running fine, and no more plastic is being harmed by hot exhaust components.

Getting ready to throw Deatschwerks 700cc injectors into my supercharged FR-S, along with a new Raceseng cam plate. All tuning has been provided by Zach @CounterSpace.

I took the fuel pump housing out and took it apart. The fuel pump looked like it was installed too tight and the 3 O rings were bulging out, and the cup the fuel pump is in was a bit loose. The fuel starvation door looks like it is functioning as it should. Got it all back together, and got the new seals to put it back together. I hope this solves my fuel pressure issues.
