A lot of cold air intakes that pull the air from under the car have a valve that prevents them from sucking in water. That way when you drive over a puddle you don't blow your engine, since water doesn't compress.. or combust for that matter. Ill try and find a picture. Might be called a back-up valve or something along those lines.

I think this is what your talking about. It's called an Air Bypass Valve. It ensures that only oxygen and not a oxygen/hydrogen mixture (sometimes called water) gets into you cars engine. Here is an example of one that AEM makes.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
