Im glad this is not mine

 

ohhh ****, look they are just laughing about it.

 

That sucks!

 

that happened to me the other day...scared the **** out of me.

it turned out that the spring on my aftermarket AST cap was bad and it exploded.

 

That sucks, but if that guy can afford those wheels i bet he doesent care

 

What happened? Did the stock ast decided to blow off or did it overheat and the pressure blew off the radiator cap or...?

 

ha ha ha, they prolly have no clue

 

hehe, mine has looked like that way too many times. we need to invent a better way to cool the engine down

 

that happened to me at a track event, but nothing blew-up, I mistakenly filled the overflow when the car was cold (coolant contracted) and so when it heated up (expanded coolant) it had nowhere to go but out of the overflow valve..... left a pool just like the pic (although the pic seems like a blow-up of some kind)

i just went to evans coolant the system is no longer pressurized so nothing can 'blow-up' anymore...but i guess if somthing 'falls' apart (heheheh)

 

i have the pettit AST, you know how the cap on the AST has a spring...well my spring got weak and faild and all the coolant exploded out of the top of the AST.

 

Man, that happened to me last week when the stocker radiator failed. Luckily the car had just been idling so I turned off the car and nothing overheated. Now I have a PWR alluminium (sp) radiator. Major difference in cooling BTW. I can now lift the hood without the use of gloves.

 

that happened to me once... going home after uni... but it was all dried up from the sun...

i checked and i notice i toped to much on the the overflow tank... it scare the **** out of me!!! hahahah

 

one more thing... what the hell are they smilling about??? i hope it is not severe...

 

At least it wasn't your fault. I was doing a coolant flush and I forgot to reconnect the TB coolant hose when I started the engine. At least I was smart enough to realize what the peeing sound was.

Nice crab cooker ya have there

 

That's what I was thinking...

 

must be nice to have money one man's joke is another ones nightmare

 

Something like that happened to me on the drag strip. I threw the belt that runs the water pump and right by the end my temp gauge started rising so I got off the gas and started slowing down. It was too late though, next thing I knew coolant goes everywhere. Turns out my radiator cracked under the added pressure and it went EVERYWHERE. I got a new radiator and she runs fine. I had a coolant puddle or two, but it was just a loose hose on the new rad. I haven't seen a puddle since, or had to add coolant either.

 

haha they don't seem to mind what happened! AHHH love those RE rims!

 

more pics...

 

Lol, that happened to me too when I was filling my system with coolant. I had forgotten to put the TB coolant hose back on, and as I started the car, a while after the buzzer went off. I then remembered that I forgot to attach it. What a mess. After filling up a bit more, the problem was solved.

new engine flown in by Fedex from Japan

 

someone must have some money...

 

payed about 1800$ for a complete engine with a doubleplated clutch kit...! The freight was about the same price as the engine... not bad...
