Kids, don't try mods at home if you don't really know what you're doing.
And, it looks like he didn't.

BTW, when an engine compartment is ON FIRE, don't sit on top of the engine videotaping it with the hood open. IDIOT! Close the hood to cut down on air flow and get a fire extinguisher ASAP! Those geniuses let the fire progress into the cabin.

Oh boy.

i had a daytona turbo Z and watched it burn for 5 mins before grabbing a hose and calling the fire dept.

Was the fire in the engine bay? And, if so, did you open the hood so that you could get in there for a tight shot with your video camera? :wink:

yeah closing the hood would have been a good idea... the matting on the hood is made so that if a fire were to happen, the mattin falls and blankets the fire. gotta love german engineering:thumbsup:

edit - the fire was cause by the big turbo kit he had in the car. if im not mistaken. i think it caught the sound deadening on fire with its heat
