That sucks man, sorry to hear, hope you figure out what happened.

 

its probly to much horsepower...

 

well I don't think someone would intentionally do something like this and fix it for free. I dunno about you but that would be retarded on the body shops part.

 

maybe alot of shop dust got into the engine bay thru the hood and got on fire after the engine got hot...ive seen bodyshop dust light **** up before

 

Do you have a IX turbo or FP Green? Only reason im asking is because they use a different outlet or "J" pipe.

If you use the evo 8 outlet pipe instead of the proper one there has been stories of it coming in contact with the starter and causing a fire.

 

maybe he's right about that!!! but still, thats f***** up . hope you'll figure it out what causes the fire!

 

Sorry to hear that. Hope you get it all figured out and smoked free.

 

maybe a 35r

 

+1

 

bingo

 

oops maybe i should have paid attention to the picture

 

Wow Dan glad it wasnt worse and everyone was ok. Sounds like you need a trip to Buck Head.....lol. Seriously Buck Head.

 

yes its a 35r.

 

Not sure if I missed it...But were there any chemical residues left from the body shop when it was idling?

I've seen engine compartments catch on fire on a few occasions, and most often it was chemical related such as a technician spraying brake cleaner onto a hot exhaust manifold. Even seen a car that nearly burned down from a leftover greasy rag near a manifold. -Gabe

 

Great point and theory
