enough pics? goddamn. that sucks though.

 

tell him i'll buy his wheels for $30 each


so uhm WTF HAPPENED? besides the fire

 

Your old sig was much better Zalec

 

WOW.... That fire wanted to eat that car BAAADDDDDDD!!!!!!!

Any idea what happend? Blown motor then blew the NOS or fuel tank somehow?

Right to the ground........OW....

 

On a side note, I love my nitrous

 

that guy probably bought that nitrous kit off ebay.

 

It was a nitrous related accident. It was running 10's and 11's at the Evo vs. WRX showdown this past Friday. Poor guy.

No.

 

bye bye car

 

Wow. That really sucks. At least the guy managed to get out of the car without any injuries.

 

Holy Sh*t... hes lucky to be alive... Sucks about the car though

 

Crazy

Cool pics:twitch:

 

Insane.

 

Whats with all these nitrous accidents latley. I feel sory for the guy. Alot of money im sure gone up in flames.

 

It's good 2 see the guy walking away, but when ya turn around and see a 10-11 sec car up in flames it's a sad story.

 

at least his girlfriend has some kind of potential that i can tell from the rear shot.

 

that is crazy

 

That'll happen.

 

NOS !!!!

"As two douche bags runaway with an eruption of green flames behind"

 

How would nitrous be involved (I'm curious)?

I'll take a stab at it though

Intake backfire, blows intake apart, hot fuel mixed with super oxygenated air ignites under hood, car consumed in flames, nitrous tank in the back adds more oxygen to the fire? Just a guess.

The reason I ask is because nitrous is not flammable by itself right. So how do we come to the conclusion that it was nitrous related. It could have just been a fuel leak right.

edit: In fact looking at the pics, I see fuel or oil on the ground leading up to where the car is. That's certainly not nitrous on the ground.

exactly, nitrous is not flammable in anyway. all it does is cool the air entering the engine and "super fuel" the combustion process with a bombardment of oxygen. im not really sure of the process, but somehow NO2 enters the engine, the O2 seperates from the N, and gives a large supply of pure oxygen. either way, NO2 isnt flammable, must have been the fuel tank.

and maybe if that asshats pants werent sagging down to his knees god wouldnt have blown up his car.

Nitrous is an oxidation agent, so true it will not combust on its own. But when you stop messing around with some 25hp Zex dry shot, and into larger shots its almost always a wet kit, so your spraying fuel into the intake manifold (which really wasn't meant to flow fuel). Big nitrous jet = big fuel jet = subpar atomization in the intake, throw in a backfire and boom!

The car was allegedly running in the tens, so baggy pants or not, I don't think the fella's an asshat.

exactly. and while it does it beautifully inside the combustion chamber you don't want that stuff anywhere near an open flame on the outside of the engine. whatever fire or explosion you would normally have is just mulitplied many times over.

 

I must have heard from a hundred people last weekend at the Alum Creek meet that his nitrous tank leaked and blew up :ugh: Once again NITROUS IS NOT EXPLOSIVE. My guess is the ussual, tried to spray to early and had a nitrous backfire igniting gas in the intake and blowing it apart causeing the fuel line to brake loose spraying fuel on the engine. Sucks to see this happen, cause it adds to giving Nitrous a bad name.

 

This one truly does say it all.......
