Another 240 dead burnt down
So i reflect on my loses today. Last night about 11:30 pm i was on a unfimilar road and came up on a corner at about 100 mph, as i turned i cut a tire causeing me to slam a guardrail. I pull over to asses the damage saw it was pretty bad but i thougth i would drive it home and get out of the place where i wrecked. I got back into my car and it burst into flames my cell phone was left in my car so I had to wait 5 mins before some one drove by. Lucky they were from out of the state so the cops and fire department took 30 mins to get there. My car burnt to a crisp there is absoulty nothing left except the rear wheels and the diff maybe. I will post pictures later today as i goto the towing yard to go look at it. R.I.P to another S13

sorry to sound like an *** but i mean come on dude....coming up on a corner on a road you don't know going 100mph thats just pure stupidity. your lucky the only thing that happened was your car burning down and not you with it. you put yourself as well as others into danger when doing that kind of crap. i hope you learned a very hard lesson from this and when you build your next car i pray you will be a little wiser than you were with this one. goodluck

a buddy of mine has an SR powered 240, and one night, one of his power steering lines ruptured and started spraying oil all over his hot manifold, and sure enough it ignited. Luckily he had a small fire extinguisher, that BARELY put it out. I'd carry a full size on in my car.

thats weird cause powersteering fluid isnt flammable lol it will burn on a manifold like oil would but it wont catch fire. tell your friend to be careful cause he may have another problem
