I spotted this recently.

Shows how stupid some people can be when they try to impress.

It was a nice FB while it lasted.

 

Older than _______.

Nice video though. You should see the full length (if that is the same one I am thinking of)

 

Just the short clip was enough to break my heart.
I don't have my FC anymore but I do still love the cars. I'm running a 05 Honda S2000 now.

 

that video is about 5 years old

 

very old video.. i dont get tho how the hood poped up? i know the engine blew but i didnt think it had that much force

 

The engine did not blow, the clutch /flywheel came apart... watch the full length version as the driver slipped the clutch on a couple occations probably with out even realizing it, this seriously overheating the unit until forces generated caused it to fail violently... he is fortunate to literally "walk" away considering the proximity of the bellhousing to pedals... not just the hood latch is taken out but watch the bottom of the front fender fly out from debris being thrown out...and there is a lot of metal between the clutch and that fender... think the maintenance manual tells you to look for cracks and discolored areas on the flywheel during clutch changes because they want to sell another flywheel?

 

if my memory is correct, that was a 20B FB that did a 3+ minute burn out....

 

damn man that sucks
