:(

There was a freak ass flood in the parkinglot at work last night during that ministorm and my car up and died when i went into about a foot and a half of water. Had it towed to the mechanic, but i'll have to wait until tomorrow morning before he even finds out about it.

Electronics inside all still work, radio, lights etc, but there was about 4 inches of water on the inside. The engine bay looks ok, didnt make it to the plugs but the pan and opti probably got it (probably cause the stall?)

The filter however is covered in pineneedles which makes me assume that water certainly got to it, and it must have tried to suck in because they are imbedded in the filter :'(

Other then the opti, what am I looking at replacing? the tow truck driver said if water got in it could have bent a rod... now that to me (as long as the insurance company doesnt total it for some reason) like an easy excuse for a stroker kit... but will anything in the heads likely be damaged or anything else? i jsut got the heads, $2k investment right there, and they jsut ****in went on not 2 months ago.

anything that might be bad now with the tranny or rear axle being submerged? it was for less then 5 minutes at its deapest until i could push it uphill enough to get out to where the water was just missing the bottom of the door. deapeast it was in was the water coudlnt get in when the door was opened (but still got in eventually)

only other thing i could think that might be ****ed is the MAF if water did get sucked up in there, and maybe the starter or coil?
