When dealing with flamable fluids in your car, don't cut corners.

Always, and I mean ALWAYS keep an extinguisher with you. They're ~$10-15 bucks and it could save your car, or your life.

You were lucky, count your blessings.

Oh yeah, you gotz to be a stuuuuupid mother fucker to use rubber hose to feed a turbo.

I think the stock fuel lines would have likely burned and probebly destroyed everything. Luckly i have SS Braided lines that looked to be unharmed.
I and a lot of the people i hang out with used to think it was rice to have a fire extinguisher in the car, pretty much every one of my friends went out and bought one the day after this happened.

yeah i was pretty stupid, it wasnt mainly because i used a rubber hose to to the oil feed line, but more-so that i didnt yank hard on the line to make sure it was secure.

I was going to have my girl friend get in a bikini and pose in front of the car and put the same "This is why im hot" caption, but shes a little shy.
