storing the eclipse

im sure others already know this but if you don't heres an fyi. if your storing your turbo car for the winter make sure the intake and exhaust is plgged well. I had a mouse climb into the turbo and leave little chunks of corn in side the wheel. Im taking it apart now to clean it up and hopefully it is still useable. just thought i would warn people if they did not already know.

Re: storing the eclipse

Huh, yet another reason to keep your catalytic converter. It's an anti-pest device.

Re: storing the eclipse

I just had the same problem. The 2g I sold had a mouse climb in the exhaust and he filled it plump full of corn. When I started the car I had this clinking noise and couldn't figure out what the hell it was. It didn't sound bad though, so I left the car running. When I would rev it up a little, it would get worse. After I shut it down and got out of the car, I figured out what it was. I was shooting corn out of the tail pipe and the noise was the corn bouncing off of the garage door!

I hate mice with a passion after living on a farm for a while. They would get into every car, it didn't matter if there was poison in it or not.

When I bought your old roommates exhaust I had a mouse in it, as well as corn.

Damn corn furnaces.
