    Unfortunately I forgot I only had a zip-tie holding up my fuel lines and one of them caught fire on my way back from lunch today. Engine is toast (lol ), chassis is probably a total loss as well. Fire was coming in through the dash vents by the time a passer-by with a fire extinguisher stopped to help.



    Just my fucking luck, on to bigger and better things I guess. Liability only FTL.

    Now there is no need for all of that. Sure he did what most of us would call blaspheme and I know I personally did not care for the swap but c'mon man the man's car just became a Car'B'Q

    I'll be honest man I personally did not care for the swap, but it was unique. I am sure it has been done before and I am sure it has some benefits for this specific applications. Then again the Rotary has benefits over the Sr20. SO I guess what I am trying to say is that it sucks that it caught fire and I will be curious to see what you do next. Oh and give me you damn wheels.lol
