I love all your sounds.
Man, that sucks, so sorry to hear.
On a lighter note, I might have used that BC extinguisher a few months back.

Well i am uploading pics now and will post them soon. I got the motor and tranny about ready to come out. The fire was small and mainly affected the dash on the passengers side. Looks like the downpipe connection to the elbow had came lose and separated about a 1/2 inch and the heat caused the fire.

I gotta say first, alot of the car is salvagable but now I have to ask...
WTH is up with ur intake pipes? What did you do there?

This car is a na -t that was later change to a 7mgte that ran good on na harness, y pipe, na electroncs, hard pipe intake, Reason for fire is the downpipe started to came lose from the elbow and was a 1/2 gap between the two that created to much heat at the firewall and caught the speedo cable first then went from there.
No the fender was a winter accident,The car is being sold look in the car for sale threads.SupraDreamPDR said:

Get another dash, replace carpet and replace the damaged wires and you will be set. I have a NA wire harness and ECU that I will let go for cheap.
Sorry to hear about the fire... Its one of those things we dont usually think about, so on a plus side, you made alot of people aware, including myself, of the need for a fire extinguisher... Im definately getting one now....
Im glad your son is OK... Thats ultimately the most important thing...
As for the car, it is salvagable... But I know sometimes its easier to start over, not just for the car but for your own mental stability and peace of mind...

Glad your son is OK. Car doesnt look too bad. Buldable shell anyway.
Fire extinguishers are an almost mandatory peice on most modded vehicles. The B C rated extinguishers will do a nice job but will leave a white residue that is hell to try and clean up. A halon extinguisher will cost more but will handle more amount of fire puond per pound compared to a B C and not leave the same residue.

Thanks Jake, I hope this thread reminds everyone how inportant it is to have a fire extinguister in the car . I know i will have a halon fire extinguister in my car before i ever hit the streets.Reign_Maker said:
Thanks Guys for your concern for my son , He is fine but he did get some small minor burns from the hot plastic dripping on him when he tried to put it out. We will have parts listed soon and the car is already in the car for sale threads.
I've been kinda scarce lately & just came across this thread last night.
Sorry to hear, S.Hooked - but glad your boy's okay.
Like most others, I was thinking - damn, I've gotta get an extinguisher in the car asap.
So - on the way to work this morning (650 miles on the new build & beginning to feel confident) I smelled gas. Thought to myself, I sure hope that's the guy in front of me! Well ... it wasn't - #1 injector was spewing pretty good. Thankfully no fire, but I may not be able to shit for a week, as my asshole has puckered significantly! At this point, I don't know if it's an o-ring or a bad injector, but take note kids: fire extinguishers are good to have, mmkay!
(This coming from a guy who's had an old p.o.s. catch fire before & lemme tell you - it's no fun searching the kitchen for baking soda while your ride burns in the driveway!)
