I thought your car floated on water, or I it shot water from the muffler, or from the top or something.

mine cut through the water well but a big puddle pulled my splash guard out and left it on the streets...
 it's a horrible sight... i'm starting to hate my celi... everything seems to be falling apart nowadays.

wouldn't the term be "Hydroplaning" not "HydroLock".. Hydro planing is when you are driving on a layer of water, not the road, making it a little more difficult to control. Hydro lock is when you get a lot of water in your cylinders that cant be combusted. No?

Perhaps you meant to say you drifted on a sharp turn or hydroplane'd?... --------------------  |

I have done this also.. My car's hood had water over it and when I opened my hood from a safe place my Ram air Filter was half soaked..... I didn't hydro lock nor did I even hurt the car. Goes to show how good a celicas engine really can be. Thanks again Toyota
 EDIT: Oh but I did seafloam the plugs

Just a lil tidbit for those that may get confused, the term aquaplane may also be used, which means the same thing as hydroplane in this context.
