Well at least it's confirmed it's FI oriented.
Consider it a case of taking one for the team.

Its not FI related at all. It's running the flex fuel kit. It could have happened N/A. Others running this fuel kit found leaks as well. There is a thread about it.

Guess I made a good decision running stock while others tested the power mods first.

2014 corvette is looking better and better

FRyeS · 08-11-2013, 01:47 PM

Should have gone with the ricer fire extinguisher mod

I guess you can say it's murdered out now.

if the owner takes off all the mods and puts the stock parts back on, it's all gonna be taken care of by the warranty, right?

Definitely. They'll never notice the missing front end! How will they be able to prove it was caused by aftermarket parts if there are no parts remaining? This is genius! No proof, no problem!

Yeah! Plus, you can always say you told them about the noisy fuel pump before!

Yeah, and jail sounds like a good option too...

Hardrock4445 · 08-11-2013, 03:58 PM

Yeah, cuz they won't notice the brand new parts put back on a toasted engine.... "Oh look everything is fucked except theses few parts, they made it through the fire and look brand new"

I would be willing to bet that the average insurance adjuster and/or dealer tech wouldn't be able identify any modifications even if they were left in place after an engine fire (insert random Subaru fire damaged boxer engine burnt to a crisp) ...

...there's nothing left
