Car Wash Question...

Being a newbie I just wanted to ask if it's safe to apply soap all over the hood and over the intercooloer? Is it safe to just spray water into it? Should I do it when the car's cold? Or should I just avoid that area completely?

its fine... it does rain outside occasionally and the little water fairies dont hurt the car... so im sure the ones in the soap will play friendly together with the water ones and the evo will live happily ever after

just keep the H2O away from the flux capacitor and you'll be ok.

Yes it's O.K. although on the off chance that you would wash your car right after a hard drive, try not to spray water on a piping hot echaust manifold...

Which nuclear powered generator did you get? If it's the Freoz Coolant one, NO WATER. If it's the H20 cooled one, you're fine. Try and keep those amat particles low when you tune your particle accelerator.

Also, be sure not to get any water in the blinker fluid tank when you are washing your hood. It happened to my buddy's '83 'vette, and he had to rebuild his engine.

you also need to re-fuse your warp core matrix to the necessary plasma conduit. then use a tachion field from the deflector shield, and rebuff shield modulation
