so...uhm...out of curiosity...how much did you save using those tsx injectors instead of buying one that will fit your engine in the first place?

$349.00 from zpi?

i hate to nag, but that is the price you pay when you cheap out and don't do things right the first time. you sacrificed your xa to save a few bucks. and if this had happened at a worse time, and you or someone else could have been seriously hurt.

 

...cool, wasnt trying to throw you under the bus, just curious mostly due to your honda backgorund. figured maybe you knew something we didnt.

 

Sorry to see another flamer.
Let us hope they do cover it and not give you a problem about the mods you had done to it. they could claim it was really your fault in putting in the "wrong' parts.( I do investigations into this type of thing so I know I would look at it closer with non-OEM parts installed)

best of luck to you.

 

Is it me or does the pic look like its been photoshoped

 

i def. agree....but i cant see someone making something up like that.

 

its not photoshoped. fire is damn near impossible to photoshop.

my guess is a fuel injector came lose and gasoline doesnt play nice with hot things. good luck with the insurance ppl

 

Sorry to see your xA go down like that.

My xA burned to the ground a couple of months ago, so I know how you feel. I had a lot of mods, too.

I have pics, but I haven't posted anything about it, yet. I'm working on the new xA now.

You'd better hurry if you want a new xA, there aren't many left on the dealers' lots.

Run injectors that are made for the car.

 

^why would he do that?? i mean if he did then we wouldnt have great photos liek this one

 

well @ least your ok!!

 

if at least one person has learned this lesson, it was all worth it!

 

ALWAYS HAVE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN THE CAR!

-Pete

 

that too!

 

iv learned it sucks to be me lol jk

 

welcome to the club, brother! i hope my turbo dreams don't end like this.

 

This creeps me out. My car had the fuel line come loose at the firewall about 2 weeks ago. It dumped fuel all over the exhaust headers.... I am damn lucky, I hope your insurance company comes through.

 

UPDATE:

i never did come back and tell you guys the cause of the fire.

it wasnt the injectors.

but it was my fault, i didnt run an EGT sensor into the manifold and it was leaking exhaust right onto the factory fuel line. melted it, backfire, and poof!

i forgot about the EGT bung on the mani. thats where i faulted.. oh well, i ended up having GAP coverage and they took care of the 3000 that i owed on the rest of the car.

 

oh wow, i was wondering why this thread rose from the dead. wow, that sucks. so what have you been doing since this happened?

 

damn dude that sucks

 

I was also wondering why the thread got bumped... glad you figured it out. What are you driving now?
