Rx7 Catches Fire???

[Mikey22]

Is there any truth in this?

Well you\'ve heard the phrase "light it\'s ass on fire", Rex\'s do actually do that. See mine for example. And mines not even turbo\'d Melty goodness!!

My old S14 used to catch fire regularly too - having removed the DV and having a 3" straight through exhaust pipe HYOOGE flames.
 
Remember this bmw driver cut me up one night, waited until there was dual carriageway and overtook him slowly, goes back to single, slowed to 30mph where he couldnt overtake when he was as close as he was going to get I floored it :burnout and watching him cack himself he did an emergency stop in the road :3gears-rh

I guess it depends if you douse it in petrol and throw a lit match at it?

:spank

It is true I\'m afraid.  We\'re all dead.  I died twice actually.  True story.

"True story" quote from Barney Stinsen? :rollin

Seriously, the ones that i heard that have caught on fire were due to the fuel lines not being tighten up enough / break / possible oil leak from turbo oil feed.
But these can be same for any car...

[Lil-Steve]

I\'ve heard of at least 4 race cars catching fire, there\'s a FamSpeed FD on one of the HotVersion DVD\'s that I\'ve got that cooks off after showing 2 tunded R35 who\'s boss on Fuji speedway. Fastest lap by about .5 seconds IIRC.
 
Then on the cool down lap it does excatly the opposite.:flamed

[trotter]

something like this you mean Lacey...

[Bobbit]

Mine catches fire all the time, luckly enough this happens to push the rotor around and makes the car move. HTH!
