SO you expect to start your car up...

[PureVenom]

You go into the garage and get in the car...

You try to start it...nothing.

There's a puddle of water under the headers...

What could it be?


Maybe....
























a bit of a IC fluid leak...ouch!!!

Later posts state that his intercooler fluid was mostly water....and boom...split his intercooler...

You are looking at the entire contents of an 04 cobra's intercooler system sitting in the lower intake.

why on earth would you dare run nearly all water and not keep it in a heated garage... or anywhere cold...

What a way to start a new day

Not sure myself...

Personally...I will be running NPG coolant when I swap out the intercooler....

Basically, he is one that runs a lot of ice in his system at the track...so the contents of the system get flushed after each track run...obviously, he doesn't fill up with antifreeze in the winter.

NPG?

little to no antifreeze+freezing temps = self ownage.
