my civic DX is filled with water when crossing the puddle
and totaled
i went to the honda dealer and they said need $12k repair
whole engine are damaged
luckily i have insurance
so i dont know my insurance will fix it or give me a new one

***ILL FG2*** · 11-08-2006, 12:13 AM

Story very succinct. They probably give you new one.

**marc-o-lishuz** · 11-08-2006, 12:16 AM

what happened? Civic + puddle + $7k damage =

Green Apple · 11-08-2006, 12:17 AM

cold air intake? did you suck water in and hydrolock?

whitecivicsi · 11-08-2006, 12:17 AM

what you mean crossing puddle? How deep was this puddle?

No matter what, it still sucks bro. Hope they give you a new one but who know...insurance companies suck!

zspeedzkwy · 11-08-2006, 12:17 AM

i saw other cars like a lowered integra cross the puddle and they succeed
so i cross the puddle too
but the engine was killed
and the water come in my drive

zspeedzkwy · 11-08-2006, 12:25 AM

yea
i got an cold air intake
i think it probably suck the water to the engine
and i saw the puddle is not that deep so i just cross it for fun
but...............
damn.......the puddle suck
my civic just has 9000 miles and it is TW , i love my civic

whitecivicsi · 11-08-2006, 12:27 AM

Lets hope the insurance pays for it!

I wish you well bro.

50 hrs labor = $3XXX
Engine and other stuff = $7XXX
TAX = $9XX

Flying threw a huge puddle with a cold air intake = Priceless

CAI = sticking straws in your nose and inhaling water

**Yodums** · 11-08-2006, 12:53 AM

How did you cross the puddle? Did you at least stick it in neutral and coast through it... don't tell me you like floored the gas?

zspeedzkwy · 11-08-2006, 12:54 AM

i saw a modified and lowered integra and he succeed to pass it
but he is on the another lane next to me

I'm sorry man bud

that doesnt mean he had CAI

just like what mom's use to say, " just because he does it, does it mean you have to too?"

I really do hope the insurance pays for this man.

zspeedzkwy · 11-08-2006, 01:01 AM

thanks so much
is it possible for me to add some money to get an Si, if they decided to get me a new car

The Shishpanik · 11-08-2006, 01:11 AM

I believe they can pay you what the car was worth.. I don't know though

Tijiez · 11-08-2006, 10:30 AM

I would be surprised if they cover this. Typically with a CAI you avoid puddles like the plague. They could consider it to be negligence.

si_civic · 11-08-2006, 10:38 AM

Wonder if the future of automobiles running on hydrogen with CAI's would benefit from sucking in water.

Ok, my science is teh sux0r

06si · 11-08-2006, 11:03 AM

If you tell them you want a different car i think they will give you a check. My insurance gave me cash for my old civic when it got broken into and my system got jacked. They wanted to replace it, but I told them I needed the money to buy a new car.

whitecivicsi · 11-08-2006, 11:06 AM

What I want to know is: Are they the insurance company, going to pay for this?

Thanks
