The oil feed for the turbo blew apart. This spilled oil on the exhaust manifold. And the result is a dsm moment. Radiator is toast and probably a lot of the wiring harness, well see today when i get around to tearing it apart. I had time to snap the pic because i didnt have a fire extinguisher and i took everything out i could, the most helpless feeling ever just watching your car burn.

Sorry to hear! Looks like it wasn't horrible though.

Here's some light reading when you get a minute (including a clean mounting solution towards the bottom).

DAMN!!! Sorry man, it's shit like this that scares the crap out of me, I would never want that to happen to my car or anyones car for that matter. How did the oil feed line rip apart?

 

[kraig milton]

Wow! I thought I was having a bad day. Really truly Sorry that happened to you. car is super nice!

 

[GSXSixteenG]

Wow, that sucks. I feel bad for ya. I guess everyone needs to carry a fire extinguisher now.

 

[Kyle_T]

Ive always though about putting a fire extinguisher in my car, because I couldnt imagine just standing there watching it burn helplessly.

Hopefully not to much is damaged and you get 'er back running soon.

 

[black_eclipse96]

Weren't you trying to sell that one?????
helplessness is the worst felling ever

 

[Thomas91169]

dang that sucks!

id bust out the marshmallows and graham crackers if mine caught fire.

 

[9!'clipseDOHC]

That really sucks man. Hopefully everyone reading this thread learns something. DSM's seem to be catching fire rather frequently, unfortunately I've seen several threads just like this over the past few months. Having a fire extinguisher in your car isn't ricey, it's cheap insurance and can save your car. You don't want to end up like this:

Damn man, that's a shame. Both of those pics just sent shivers up my spine, I hope the damage to your DSM isn't bad and you can get it back on the road soon.

 

[WolfsFang]

i would taken all of my clothes off to put down that fire.

 

[highlandgst]

I'm sorry bro hope it all works out . I had a extinquisher in my car for awhile it was mounted to the A pillar for looks ... I got tired of it and put it in the back seat one day ...my friend slid the seat all the way back and pop sprayed everywhere.

I posted this on one of the many other fire extinguisher threads but this is how I mounted mine. It is in the trunk but I can flip the rear seat down and access it from the driver's seat.

Glad you're ok.
