Damn dude... that sucks! You still have that website I gave you in a pm right? You could probably replace everything w/ a minimal amount of money.

i have no clue, i have to get the car towed somewhere (off of university property) so i can check stuff out and see what is salvagable. the entire front of the car is pretty much demolished, the entire rear is pretty much perfect...
i have 700 bucks to my name... that wont get me much of an rx7

BlackRx7

damn why didn't you call 911? **** that woulda been the first thing I woulda done.....

i'm gonna post some pictures of my car tomorrow. i think you'll be surprised how FUCKED the front of my car is, and how untouched the rest of the car is. the firepeople took a pick axe to the hood and quarter panels cause the front of the car was engulfed and they couldnt open it, so they ripped it up with an axe. wow my life sucks.

right when we saw all the fire under the car we called 911 and said, "MY FC IS ON FIRE, 3RD LEVEL OF THE PARKING STRUCTURE, WESTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY"

BlackRx7

****, is the frame bent? well atleasr you don't have to wrry about the 3800 rpm hesitation@!, so what lead up to the fire? just started your car or what, how did you know it was on fire?

dr0x

Bastards... Well, you could probably fix more than half of it for 700 bucks. That place I gave you has new wiring harnesses for 300ish, fenders+bumper you can get for 150, new hood for probably 100, and silicon vac line for another 60. But then there is probably more than that to fix.

we were driving across campus and i smelled burning plastic and said oh **** then turned around and went back to park. i turned the car off and we saw white smoke coming out of my hood scoop so i thought i just blew a radiator hose or something. then i popped the hood and saw fire so i let the hood down and looked underneath the car and said 'oh ****' again.

should of left the hood open...sucks to hear man

BlackRx7

damn, I had similair problem on my 89 GTU, turns out it was the thermosdate housing, plastic piece of ****, and the coolent I was using was actually flamable and I saw flames on my exhaust maini!!!!! threw so water on it at the gas station and a pack of ice........

Felix Wankel

Actually he did the right thing by closing it back. There is a lot more oxygen to feed the fire with the hood up.

mazdamanda

Sorry to hear that If you need some parts I might be able to sell you some cheap as my friend just parted out one of his cars.

dr0x

Yes but now the cars body is hacked up Proping it open like 1cm wouldve been ideal. But oh well.

sucks man, my car caught fire also a few weeks ago, managed to blow it out though cause we caugt it early( the hood was up and we were jumpin the car, so a friend was watching) All I could see from in the car was him jumpin around yelling and pointing, so I leapt out, ran to the front of the car, started screaming "get the fire extinguisher, someone get some water or something!" then I had a stroke of genius and tried blowing it out. between the three of us that were there we managed to blow the thing out before it damaged anything important!

Damn, that sucks. My FD just caught on fire. Mine kinda went like this...
I was out driving around with my friends. It was really snowy out. My friend was behind me in his truck. I saw some smoke comming out of my exhaust. It was thick and white, looked more like steam. My first thought was that I sucked some snow up into my intake. I pulled over to see what was wrong. My friend stuck his head out the window of his truck and before I said anything he screamed, "Something's on fire under your hood!!!!" I was like, "Oh ****!" I popped the hood, jumped out and we started throwing snow at my turbos (thats what was on fire). I got it out after like 10 mins. It didn't spread because of all the snow we threw down in there. I guess my turbos fell apart and spewed oil everywhere. Its back in the shop. I got 2 fire extinguishers for Christmas, lol. I've owned the car for a year and 3 months and have only had it on the road for 5 months... hmm. I'm not having good luck. BTW, does anyone want to donate a mazdaspeed spoiler to me? haha
