VID: Burning GTI
 

Burning GTI

I feel bad for this guy.

:eek: poor guy...
why didn't they spray it when it was small flame?

:wood:

Thats Sux!

That really sucks must of been the exhuast rubbing on the chrome insulation on the fire wall, and it also looked liek the fire exthingsure didnt even work.

just imagine if the guy had nawz! Ka-Boom!

Maybe if it was flammable.

oh man... that's really gotta suck... wouldn't wish that on anyone... seeing u'r pride and joy going up in flames like that, and there's nothing u can do about it.

damn.
 

poor guy. but stilll... :owned:

Hey smartass, NAWS is an oxidizer. it doesn't burn, it accelerates burning, but when a bottle of it gets super heated, thats where u get the KA-BOOM! :newbie:

I would have smothered the flames with my shirt but thats just me being practical............

but eitherway that would really suck :eek:

y didnt they use the fire extinguisher earlyier? does anyone know wat caused the fire?

Jeez! They had so much time they could have pulled the engine out of the bay and saved the rest of the car if they wanted to.

^^^ I'd like to see anyone here in that situation try to stop that fire.... and by the looking at the vid it was burning for a while since it was smoking inside the car before they pulled over.

And for some reason I don't think that fire extinguisher was theirs...

all in all I'd just say bad luck...

that is horrible. I am glad I keep a jug of every fluid in the hatch and a fire extinguisher. If something catches on fire its getting put out right away.

I witnessed that happening to another car tho, at a scotia bank in Brampton. It was an early 90's cavalier, just as I finished using the ATM he stopped his car in front of the bank on the road and there was smoke coming from the back of the car (electrical fire). The whole thing went up in flames right there on queen st. Took the fire crew a good 20 minutes of spraying to fully put it out.

It looks like his return line leaked oil onto the exhaust manifold and it all lit up. He had a bigger turbo with aftermarket return lines.

thats what i jsut noticed.. looking at the vid.. return line must have blown and oil ignited on the manifold. that sucks soo bad..i guess one of them ran over and got a extinguisher from a place across the street.but if u watch the movie.. he is showing that its empty.. must have not been recharged in a while.

I knew he had "enough NOS to blow himself up"

lol, i feel bad for the guy, but same happened to my friends mercury, the egr clogged for some reason and started burning the heatshield(dont ask me how, but it was), thank god we put it out with some water nearby.

how could a clogged egr cause a fire :smilie_au

My pcv once clogged and almost caused a fuel leak :laugh:

cos it was probably made by APC :sly:

*note to self*.....buy fire extingusher for car and put it behind the driver seat.

Total insurance job. 10000% It was rigged. I bet you the basterd didnt get 1 cent for it either. Totally fixed. NOBODY would believe that, MABYE..but not after that over done camera work. Guy prolly torched it cuz he couldnt afford it. :retard:

So after he spent over 5000usd on a bigger turbo, wheels, exterior mods, suspension mods, etc... he can't afford it?
He woulda made most of his money back parting the car out and returning it back to stock, or just selling it with the mods.

either way it is.. or was a beautiful car, what a shame.

that really sucks!

that hurts
