Moral of the story kids, don't stance your car or you will end up like this guy:

[BRealistic]

How does the fire have anything to do with stance?

Your thread title is more flame worthy than stance.

....

And you would think an emergency vehicle orange car would have a fire extinguisher.

FDs do not suffer fools gladly (be it foolish driver, or foolish mechanic).

No RX-7 owner ever leaves home without a few gallons of coolant.

[Iroczgirl]

It'll buff out.

[delrio]

At least that hood got ruined

[Air and water do mix]

OK, now that the hideous hood is ruined, remove the rest of the body kit, paint it, cut out the wiring in the engine bay, pull the engine and drop in an LS + wiring harness and call it a day.

The Wankel has more soul.

looks like those bottles of coolant must have had alcohol or gasoline in it

i think it was intentional to claim insurance reimbursement
probally dissatisfied with engine perfomance, color, or cost of payments

Bottles of coolant is clue.



Car was running hot and driver thought that meant the coolant was low.



But those Wankel-knowledgeable know that the Wankel has a water coolant system and an oil coolant system.



If the oil cooling system had a leak, it could put hot oil on hot exhaust or hot turbo parts, which could ignite the oil.

While I know you know this, the wankel is burned up along with it's harness, is more expensive, has less power and far less of an aftermarket to mod with.

LS + RX7 = fun! Also, since this car was so ugly and modified before the fire it's a perfect place to start.

[bringtheshred]

Hawt.

[dcmix5]

That looks like things went horribly right.

[jettagli1991]

Rusty hoods are so yesterday. Now melted hoods with fire damage, that's a whole new trend. At least he got some quality photos of his hot car.

RX7s look cool and all but...

[HideYoKids]

LOLOLOLOL

that means one less RX7 that I have to work on. /. Mazda tech.

[leaftye]

Makes me happy and sad at the same time.

jinkies!

Poor FD I actually like the look of that car. Then again I am biased and think the FD rx7 is one of the most beautiful sports cars ever designed.

I would love to own a FD, but would not really care for the rotary.

[SoLo2pointO]

BURN IT WITH FI... wait...

While I really like the RX7 and think it's a handsome car, I can't say that it's that close to the top of the list. That one is hideous, but that's no fault of Mazda.

Well, I did mention the LS swap...

Why would you not want to rev to 12k???
you can compete with crotch rockets on the noise to speed ratio
Seriously though, I love the rotary engines

[cryption]

Minus the hood I rather liked the car

[bpodlesnik]

Aren't you supposed to keep the hood closed in the case of a engine bay fire? I feel like I've read that somewhere.

With giant holes in a slice of fiberglass would it really have made much of a difference, though?

After seeing your cars I hope you never work on anyones cars again.

He just wanted it to match the rear bumper.

True. Guess I didn't really think about that.
