    So, when I bought my car I found remains on a nest in the bottom of my airbox. No way, it was gonna be there through the winter and the washes I did. I took my cone off last night and put my airbox back in for something I gotta do soon but long story short I popped the hood for a min this morning and found droppings on top of the supercharger.

    I'm gonna flush it out of there tonight but my biggest concern is that are there any holes going into the interior that would be big enough for a mouse to get through? Maybe through the firewall? Thats the only place I can think of that would be accessible for it. I don't want him crawling inside. I will take the box back off just to be safe but I'm paying it didn't crawl in there that quick.

    You shouldnt have any issues of it making it inside the car. Its a hard enough to get just a 4 gauge wire through the firewall. Unless it chewed through your wiring grommets. I would, for sure, check any exposed wiring, those bastids love chewing off the jackets from the wire.

    I washed the engine bay out real good on my lunch break today. I do not think the little thing is riding around with me all the time. I drive about 25 miles one way to work so it should scare it away when I start the car. Its not really bad at all but its making my hood liner look like crap... LOL
