ok, thats quite enough talk about cars on fire...........I hope I don't have to tell you how my 2004 Mustang was totaled.......

perhaps this picture could explain it better....

DAMN! How did that happen?

well apparently gas+heat=fire who woulda known?? LOL

Long story short, I had suspected that I blew a piston ring (i was running about 11 psi) so I was doing a compression test. Forgot to disconnect the fuel pump while doing the compression test. Fuel rails lifted up and sprayed a fine mist of fuel all over the hot motor....flames in no time. The rest is history. At least my insurance company was very kind to me, which is how I ended up with my current ride.

Wow that sucks. What blower did you have on that one. Looks like vortech or paxton?

It was a Vortech V2-SQ. She put down 363 hp to the wheels, at 7,000 feet of altitude

Wow sucks that she caught fire....but Im glad you got your ride you have today!!

I cant currently see the pics so I'll take a look when I get home

Its pretty bad Jerbear.

Worse than paul without makeup????

no it's not that bad

I really dig that hood and I think that mod alone really sets off the car. I bet you get challenged at every light. I have the Eleanor kit and I have every red neck with pickup and dual exhaust challenging me. I have my son in the back seat and there next to me staging. lol

Can you post a pic of those guages and the A pillar? I have to pick some gauges out before Monday and I havent seen very many options. Who makes them and what gauges did you decide on. Thanks

Wow Matt! That sucks. Lucky nobody was hurt. Looks like it turned out good though!

Kevin! Where were you Saturday?

Thanks! I actually don't get challenged at red lights, cuz I live in Enid, and, well, the street racing scene hasn't quite kicked in here, lol.

You know, this is suprising, but looking through the thousands of pictures I have of my car, I don't have a picture that shows my full gauge pod, lol. I'm shocked. All three are autometer cobalts. Bottom one is a wideband A/F, middle one is a vac/boost, and the top one is an accelorometer (sp?) measures Gforces, 1/4 mile time, 0-60, etc etc its kinda fun to play with.

Sorry for being a no-show on Saturday. I curb checked my Mustang and spent the weekend at Hibton Tire plus in Del City. I clipped a curb and popped the front tire and damaged the back tire to the point I couldnt really trust it. I bent both American Racing rogue wheels and of course they were different sizes and one was on the West coast and the other was on the East coast. I sat in the garage trying to determine if I could salvage anything so I popped off the AR center caps and brought them hope. I am willing to sell both center caps for $1300.00.

Benji called me and he had to cancel the gear install and attend a funeral on Saturday so it was a total loss all around. I should have just on here and posted that I couldnt make it but I was in shock.

LOL!

Sucks man... I hate spending money just to get something back to the way it was. Very understandable though.

Thank you! Thats a helluva Roush you've got there yourself! What does that thing run?

Hey Chris. You've been quite lately! I have your sweatshirt!

We are working OT again and been busy with family things. Not sure when I can get the sweatshirt. I think the Toy drive may be my first chance but we'll see.

I could run it out to you on Sat before the drags.

WOW I just saw the Fire pics!!! Holy hell Matt! Thank God you alright!

Matt your car is definitely a one of a kind...looks great! Those gauges looks pretty sweet too!

CHRIS!!!! Great to hear from you again...its been a little while. Hope to see you soon.....and if you need me too Ill drive your car around so she gets the carbon cleaned out.

I heard of Latino Heat (me) but that's a shame and very sad to see that car go up in flames like that. i would have cried. I know i cried when in blew the engine on my 91 coupe.

i like the autometer nexus series, but damn they are pricey. for the ones you would need you're looking at over a grand just for gauges. the reason i like them is because they will change color along with the "mycolor" dash option if your car came with it. i ordered mine with it so i'm still debating the gauges. http://www.autometer.com/demos/nexus/
