Quote from: Indian;779137While I agree with you that the content is funny Lacey, the OP doesn\'t know the true facts of his question.

It wouldn\'t surprise me that the OP thinks the whole fire thing was just rubbish, after reading all the jokes in this thread. What makes it worst is that some of the members in here that he is relying on for information are making jokes and didn\'t know any better themselves. Just my observation.

steady on mate, i think peeps (me included) are just making light of a potentially nasty situation to ensure we don\'t scare the OP witless. I was aware of the recall issues but seeing as I haven\'t heard of anyones\' on here (or FDUK for that matter) car spontaneously catching fire in the 5 years i\'ve been on the scene I didn\'t think it was too big a deal to get worked up about.

And anyway, if you think what cars are / how they are made - you could argue that ANY is a potential fireball waiting to happen.

Cue cars with home-wired electrical\'s, things not earthed properly, fat soundsystems not put in properly, magnesium wheels (seriously, who\'s bright idea was that? Everbodies done science enough to know that\'s just stupid)

Im going to be fitting a fire extinguisher system into my FC, really don\'t want anything failing and causing a fire with that amount of fuel system in the engine bay.

I\'ve never seen or heard of any UK or Jap FD catching fire in that way.

FIRE!!!

I have heard that heavy ported rotarys can backfire easy...

When my brothers FB was starting to lose apex seals, it shooted huge blue fire out of exhaust. After rebuild, just normal firebolts...
