If you were running a Blackwing, the best intake in the world, you wouldn't have that! I'm running outside right now to check my Vararam...gotta get that mint for my breath...

I'm a bit concerned, I better go check the air bridge too.
I parked in front of the court house and heard some odd engine noise.

I took a trip up to NH this winter, looks like another case of filter failure. Amazing how much debris gets in the airbridge.

You're right. I was going to get one but I park on the lawn sometimes and I thought Vararam was the way to go. How could I be so foolish?
If I had a BW this never would have happened.

Dude, you are out of control

If you pull a midget or a small animal out of there I am changing back to my Blackwing.

Some of you should be ashamed. Those are some of the most dirtest engine bays I have ever seen. Quit fooling around on here and get some cleaning done, geesh.

All the pictures are of the same engine, 8 New England winters and 151,000 miles.

You should have installed the (TLB) Throttle Lock Bypass when you had the chance. Now you'll have to flatbed it to the dealer and get that unlocked.
