Holy shit! Fire must not have lasted long?

**CornFed2.4** · 06-08-2013

Maybe 30-40 seconds. Felt like forever it only melted a few wire looms and heat shrunk a few wires I forgot to

.

All in all though I didn't have to do anything underthe hood besides swap rails to get it to start. So that's good.

The neutral safety switch also but that wasn't much more than a bolt tightening.

Me: Where's your fire extinguisher?!
Nick: Push the car away from the house!

I'm glad there was no damage. What caused the fire? It's cool you got it started.

**CornFed2.4** · 06-08-2013

The fuel rail was leaking so I took the feed off the rail and wanted to point it up so nothing leaked out. Went to put the line in the hole where the wires go through for the wipers and boom instant flames.

Had to of been caused by static is my only guess.

Lol nice, can only laugh since its seems like no damage was done. Glad to hear its running.

DSMINMN · 06-08-2013

That's really gay that happened. But at least it didn't hurt anything. Glad to hear it started! That picture is awesome too!

**CornFed2.4** · 06-08-2013

I wish we would of got a pic of the flames. But at the time all we could do was put it out. Tom wanted to but didn't wanna be "that" guy if I burned to the ground.

Yeah all I can do is laugh now

So after my mishap I finally got it sorted. Got the 20 minutes of run time under my belt and now gotta get my idle sorted, put the setting in link for SD and start putting some miles on this thing.

Only vid of it running super bad exhaust leak.

Man I need to cover that fp

bigboostingst · 06-14-2013

Sounds mean! Good work man.

**CornFed2.4** · 06-15-2013

So I buttoned up hopefully all my exhaust leaks (o2 to downpipe) and got my waste gate installed. It was almost 3 am when I finished. Countless wobbly harmonic balancer installs later I hopefully have one that's good. Again can't check cause of the time.

Gonna put the north and south crossmember in, hook up the trans cooler and front bumper/plates on and try and go somewhere tomorrow.

This is just a reference for Nick.

**goodhart** · 06-15-2013

Bring it up to Isanti for some break in miles for shits. We're moving so I have cold beer waiting at the new place

**CornFed2.4** · 06-15-2013

Thanks Tom and Carl again.

Mike I might go that way depending on if I have to to to elk river for some more tuning help.

Ill text ya if I head that way though.

Rain needs to let up to I not have my al seasons mounted yet so ill be driving around on DR's which isn't optimal. Lol

blackawdtsi · 06-22-2013

carltalon · 06-22-2013

Nice. Are you guys out tuning?

**CornFed2.4** · 06-22-2013

We just got it dialed in now for getting the 1K put on.

Tons of thanks go to Tom for getting it where it's at and drivability is pretty good right now.

turbotalon1g · 06-22-2013

open loop ftw!

hows that trans fill tube? lol

Good luck I'll be out detailing the car tomorrow, if you want a destination stop on by.
