hi folks,dont really post up much on here but thought this may be of interest.
was driving up to crail today(1/4 mile)when i had a loud bang from the engine bay and lots of white smoke which led to this












took about 40 mins in total to burn out but seemed like a lifetime watching it happen

 

Thats a sorry sight.

 

'kin hell!
Thats not good! Id be gutted if that were mine, looked a minter too, feel sorry for you buddy

 

f'n hell, sorry to see that!! I think that would bring me to tears if I had to stand there and watch that happen.

 

Damn did your RA have many modifications?

Tony

 

very sorry to see that mate

 

It must have been an epic malfunction somewhere to cause that?

sorry sight

 

Gutted for you

 

feel sorry for ya. any ideas wat went wrong?

 

about 500 of them

as said on the other site gutted for you dude

 

mate im so sorry for you... absolutely fu**** gutted..

 

oh my god thats awful! sorry to see this, it did certainly look mint beforehand

 

view my scooby tony,it was running circa 500bhp
and never missed a beat until today

 

Oh my god...

I'm sure I saw your car the last time I was at Crail. Looked fantastic.

Not good.

 

****e, Truely gutted for you

 

cheers guys,car was imported last year as grade 4.5 and even today still had only 17k miles on the clock

 

Jeez

I'm sure you've overcome more soul destroying things in your life than this though. Just keep the chin up, get the insurance sorted and then go from there.

Good luck.

 

That is just wrong !

Sorry for your loss.

dunx

P.S. I carry an extinguisher, too late to help you.

 

was too far gone mate even when i got out the car

 

sorry for you
you must be sick as a dog

im looking for a fire kit for mine tommorow now
and mine is not as good as yours its just a classic track car and i no how id feel

 

this has actually got me thinking is it worth while fitting a fixed firefighting system in the car

 

SHIT!!!! Totally gutted for you fella!

 

any ideas wat happened then fuel filter burst???

 

every little helps dunk but the fire crew today said that unless its a very minor fire you no chance with a small extinguisher

 

sad view.. sorry for u mate..

any idea who the scoob in front was??

 

no idea mate the fire was so severe when i got out the car that i couldn't even lift the bonnet.others that were there reckon that it was oil from the block that had ignited.couldn't believe how quick it went

 

the scoob in front was greig,not sure what he posts under on here

 

flames seem to be coming from turbo side in first pic ,injector leaking/rocker cover leaking oil/turbo oil return maybe???

gutted for you looked mint least you got out car can be replaced

 

Gutted for ya mate

 

thats s**t mate i'm sorry looked sweet as well
