drove through high water, can anything get messed up?

streets here were flooded upto a foot, i think i may have driven through puddles up to like 8 inches and im lowered about 1.5". no cold air intake, but can the bottom of the hot engine block get warped from the cold water? or can anything else get messed up?

nope. the only real thing you have to worry about is flooding the transmission but a foot won't do it.

you are safe

if your use your breaks and heat them up right before hitting the water you have a chance of warping rotors because of the fast temperature change from hot to cold.
