Yup, that also happened to my first tiburon, I threw on a whole bunch of ricer stuff, including a clod air intake, first puddle I hit in a big rain trashed my motor. It wasn't a massive deep one either,, just a constant stream of water being thrown up into the engine bay. I never put on an aftermarket intake after that.
