This car is NOT a Ferrari... (FR-S/BRZ burning up on side of road) - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I just recently crashed (not race induced), it's a shitty situation. He just wanted to have fun in his FT86 and shit just happens... Thankfully mine is just cosmetic (frame, suspension, engine bay remain undamaged). Though sadly this is a risk taken when testing out a new product. My accident put life into perspective for me so I'm not too mad about it. Everyday is a great day above ground.

What can you do, some people on the interwebs don't understand humor.

Wait wait wait.

What the fuck? You guys don't understand that once you do any sort of modification, there might be consequences?

I feel as if i have walked into a room full of babies and i must teach them all how to poop in a toilet.

My god...

That's the 290hp BRZ with vortech supercharger and Visconti flex fuel kit. John was driving it at the time. There is no evidence to suggest the fire was because of the FF kit. John said it was due to mechanical pump failure.

HOWEVER I can safely say the Visconti FF kit definitely has several issues - both safety and $$$ wise. See links below:

Burning car is no joke and it pisses me off that John/Rich can brush off everyone's concerns so easily while bleeding us bit by bit. If you're looking for a FF kit (or even tuning), look elsewhere.

These comments are really making me laugh.

Feel bad for the driver though.

Yeah that what happens when you let amateurs touch a beautiful car.

It's exactly what I expected him to say. I can speculate but facts are what mattters. Like the fact that Visconti likes to bleed his FF guinea pigs while selling more of the kits and laffing all the way to the bank.
