Default hydrolock cold air intake question and jwt clutch flywheel question please help

1. I have an aem cold air intake that is in the bottom of the fender well, and i just got done repainting my front bumper, i think im going to leave the yellow reflectors out until I get the clear ones, question is, if there is a whole right where my intake cone is, will i have any trouble when it rains?



2. recently installed a jwt clutch and flywheel, it kinda rattles is that normal?

thanks!!

Another Z in Baton Rouge... what color is your Z?

You may have trouble in the rain, generally I stay away from CAIs around here...

Yeah the rattle is normal.

I'm speaking in terms of living in Baton Rouge. I remember this period years back when I had 2-3 friends hydrolock their cars in Baton Rouge within months of each other because of how much it rains here. In addition, CAIs usually lose power on the Z.

I wonder if I've seen your Z around before. I'm usually around the LSU area

Technically we have a little crew in BR but we don't officially consider ourselves a club or anything. We try to meet up once a month and hang out and all that good stuff. Biggest club around is NOLAZCC. Although most of the meets are in NOLA, it's well worth the drive. I'll link you to our thread because its where we post the most. Don't be intimidated by the craziness

Nope, haven't gotten it fixed because I'm going to repaint the whole thing. Same color of course.

Speaking of... a few of the guys are talking about driving out to St. Francisville to enjoy some of the roads this weekend. More than welcome to come

Yeah man, PM me your cell and we'll catch up.

The reflector won't matter much of anything but like I said, CAIs are known to lose power on the Z's. Most run short ram setups.
