This got discussed a while back on the frs/BRZ enthusiast Facebook group. If i remember right, 400+ whp on cheap slippery tires hit some water on the freeway then hit a barrier on one side of the freeway, and bounced back to the other and back again to hit the first side. I don't recall what he said he was doing when he hit the water.
Moral of the story, Upgrade brakes and tires when you upgrade the power. |

Wow. Not sure I've ever seen one so far gone.
I'd also like to know more about what happened. |

He crashed and flammable stuff leaked on hot stuff, pretty simple.

It was just a picture of an FI twin that had caught fire. I wanted to see if anybody knew more about it, and we settled that the fire was caused by a collision. No need to keep the thread open if a mechanical failure wasn't the root cause of the fire.

It was nothing that could help anyone in the future. If it were something that could help someone in the future I would've left it, but it wasn't, and I'm sure the owner of the car would rather there not be a thread about it. Would YOU want a thread full of pictures of your wrecked, burnt, forced induction twin for everybody to talk about? If the fire was caused by a mechanical failure, I'd have left everything posted - but it wasn't.
