Aggressive Wheels & Stretched Tires: Post 'Em Up! [[Some NSFW]]
^ could you briefly explain the story? got me interested. One time I was adding oil on my beater after a drive home, and well long story short... oil spilled over and on the headers and poof, went up in flames. I ran to the water hose and doused it down, luckily water helped, cause I have heard other wise.
Put out the fire, cleaned it up with some engine degreaser and high pressure washer. Sold it the next day

While the car was in the middle of doing the burnout, the harness being soo brittle from
the cold weather of the winter just collapsed, heated up and melted. That obviously had the positive & negative touching and sparking a small electrical fire under his secondary fuel rails. Thankfully Arvin noticed the fire on time because the car started breaking up…
Arvin suddenly stopped the car and popped the hood open only to see fire. Before he could do anything the fire burned thru his oil metering lines which spilled oil all over the motor, which eventually ignited with the flame. It then burned thru the injector o rings which made all the pressure of the fuel rails let go and sprayed all over the flame which unfortunately made it impossible to control. That’s even with the car off and everything disconnected of course
Arvin and his friends tried everything to stop the flames but they just couldnt stop her from burning. They ended up calling the fire department and it was history after that. The engine turbo body and engine harness brunt and it spread to the fender. It also blew the shocks and burnt the master brake and clutch cylinders. All the plug wires and motor mounts melted and it burnt off all the intercooler couplers. It was going to spread into the cabin if it wasn’t for the fire department so big ups to them for everything!
