So my car caught fire friday night....


Recommended Posts

Well cahnged my oil and put all my new radiator hoses on on Friday night.

Took it for a test drive and to get dinner..

Stop at the lights....

Big pile of smoke thinking fark blew a hose again...But no pop the bonnet to find flames...

Header heat wrap was on fire...Dont know if i split oil or somehting on it but it was defiantly on fire...

Brenton (forcefed) who was in front of me gave it a bit of a pat down while i run into new world to get a fire extingusher ( i had one but it wouldnt work DOH)...

I come back he had got it out and 10mins later the chaps come out with the extingushers...There building would of been toast if they had of taken that long and it was still on fire..

Luckily nothing major happened i cut lal the heat wrap off 2 be safe...

And no damage to wiring or nothing thankfully

Oh fail, lol. You figured out exactly why it caught fire yet?

probably got oil soaked in the headder wrap when changing the filter? mine did it when the headders melted a hole thru the damn filter...

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
