Will make a grown man cry..fire

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/w...ion_164337.htm

Don't ever wanna experience a nitrous backfire like this.... Can't stand there and watch my car go up in flames like that


The only rotary i ever saw go up in flames was about 4years ago at Atco when Dee's FD (still black) went up in smoke on the deep end.... I watch from the stands as the thick black smoke and flames was pouring out, but thank god both the car & driver was ok..

You think that's bad! lol. Here's a before pic of my FD when it ran 11.1's with stock twin back in 1999-2000 around there....It's the same one I have now, I ended up rebuilding it since I did not have full coverage insurance.

Oh man that really sucks! Well you have done an awesome job at putting the car back together. I would have never known that that was the same car in a million years. But wouldn't it have been alot cheaper to just buy a rolling shell than to completely rebuild your toast of a car?

My friend had a car that was hit hard but no title, so the only option was to move everything over. At the time just bought a house and had first kid so spending anything over 3-4K was out of the question. A $100 sand blaster from sears worked wonders.

When you tamper with safety devices these are the results.

Supposedly he did. After it blew the first safety valve he replaced it with another and that one blew again. Then he got the bright idea to use two at the same time. Well the results speak for itself.
They found a speaker grill lodge in the ceiling in the bedroom above the garage.
