:gun::gun::gun::gun::gun:

dammit i was fooling with my new cai and i was using the shaft of a socket driver (like a screwdriver with a socket attatchment) to ease the coupler over the cai and the socket came off.. i thought oh shit as i heard it go down the cai and hit my filter in the bumper.

goddammit :banghead::pc:.. my street is not the place to be doing under car repairs and theres a nice puddle under my passenger wheel.:pc: at least it's sunday so traffic is light :uh:

That sucks man! Got one of those flexible magnet things?

[frantik]

i can't "go get" anything lol but i was talking ot my neighbor and they too suggested that... ive got some magnet toy things here im gonna tie some to a string lol though i dunno how well it's gonna work cause they might just stick to the sides

wait, so what happened was the socket came off and dropped down the piping to the filter located near the front tire? is the filter located where that plastic shield things is in front the of the front tire? if so, why not just take that off, take the filter out and get the socket if you havent had luck fishing it out? i honestly dont think the engine pulls enough air to suck that socket up, but really that wouldnt be something to find out if it was possible.

You mean it fell into the pipe....:rant:

[ghettogeddy]

ya i dont think theres enough pressher to pull that thing up specialy if its by the bumper

[frantik]

i dont exactly want to find out the hard way

[frantik]

i just decided to suck it up (not literally) and move the wheel well lining.. it wasn't as bad as I thought though it was interesting trying to get the filter on and off in the dark.. getting it back on was a bitch cause theres a small spacer piece that goes between the filter and pipe and it kept sliding around
