[QUOTE="foofinator, post: 1003988, member: 15555"] So the yellow car had an engine fire trying to bring it back to Norman. I contained it ([B]ALWAYS CARRY A FIRE EXTINGUISHER.) [/B]and there was no damage save for the wiring that was the culprit. Shop is unsure as to what the cause was at the moment, suspecting a loose fuse holder or not thick enough gauge wire, or a clogged fuel filter! The silver car hit the dyno today. Got drivability for 93 octane for emergencies. They filled it up with E85 and hit the gas. At 3,000 RPM a hose on the coolant cross over shot off, apparently dousing everyone and everything with hot coolant. Showing up tomorrow to see what I can do about the problem. Thank god no one was hurt. I heard there was coolant all over the door as well, I just hope it also missed the grey seats. Headed to Dallas! My professor will have to chill out for a bit. Cars > title insurance law. :P [/QUOTE]
