Sub'd. What the hell is going on here?

If there is a safety recall, everyone on here needs to know about it!

Saw @tayob had their car burst into flames on this thread as well...

1st was a fuel issue. 2nd was a fuel issue. Both happened AFTER fuel system work was done. Official information, make sure the person playing with your fuel system knows what they are doing.

From what Tayob posted in the other thread, if they replaced the short block without replacing the one time use high pressure fuel lines, that could very well be the culprit.

What about the thread on here about the guy who wants to reduce weight so he REMOVED ALL OF THE DI FUEL LINE PROTECTIVE COVERS?!?

Yeah GREAT IDEA! so that when you have a minor accident, you have 500PSI fuel spraying everywhere!!

"Blaze of Glory" by Bon Jovi comes to mind.

exactly...all im saying, I doubt this would happen to a car that hasn't had SOMETHING done to the fuel system. if that is indeed true, theres no reason for "official" information.

My car was stock only wheels n drop n sound n it picked up a bearing knock at 27000km that's why the bottom end was replaced

tayob · 06-12-2014, 07:42 PM

I am still waiting for them to say what they going to do about it
