Fire!!!!

[EclipseGST]

I had the same thing happen although my rubber oil line melted, luckily I had a fire extinguisher in the car. It could have gotten very bad.

In a different car, I had the center bottom stud that holds the exhaust manifold on fall off. There is an oil port behind it where the oil from the head drains back into the block and it started dumping out igniting on the turbo housing. That was on my 21st b-day... What a happy day that was 100 miles from home.

Damn, that sucks alot. I hope nothing is too messed up and it's repairable.

Yeah for once I feel bad for you I hope damage is limited to hoses and plastic nothing to mechanical and if so be its the wiring harness ugh good luck i'm pretty sure we've all been there and done a wiring harness and don't want to again.

How long was it on fire? You hang out with to many people that are afraid to whip it out and piss on the thing or what?

It was only on fire for a couple minutes maybe 10 at the most. Enought to completly melt the A/C fan and melt the fan blades off of the other radiator fan. (metal one)
I would have whipped it out but at first we thought it was a gas fire being that there were drops of fire going onto the ground.
One of my friends wanted to yell out "NAWSSSS!!!!"

He should have, and then the F&F saga would have been complete, spilner.

Jesus Tom, I commend you for manning up to your screw up but Jesus!?!?

Glad you and your buddy didn't get hurt.


This reminds me of the LSE dyno day from a year or so ago where the guy with the red 1g pulls up hops out of his car and says "Hi, my car is on fire" we laughed and then realized he was serious. Similar sort of issue, leaking oil feed line.

Fucking yahoo's with shooting oil at hot exhaust manifolds...

Sorry to see your car caught fire Tom, hopefully most of it is okay.

Someone should make a sweet owned pic of that 3rd one you posted, it would be tradition with the random pics of the old schoolers doing dumb stuff/bad situations.

You'll look back on this and laugh later, glad you are fine.

A simple caption of "This is why I'm hot" would do wonders for that pic.

Haha, and what a way that was, for brownman to introduce himself to the locals!!

Dude, that sucks. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.
