This guy has come to the site to "defend" himself several times.. He screwed up the installation by installing the switch for the heater wrong. he installed it to where when you flipped the switch, the heater stayed on, even when he turned the car off. thus, he turns the heater on, gets home, doesn't turn it off.. leaves.. few hours later, BOOM. no Max, no garage.

Most NOS people who've visited the page don't understand why the heater was on in the first place.

People who've asked him for clarifications got flames back from him instead of any kind of intellectual response.

That incident happen back in 97/98. It was a NX(Nitrous Express)kit. Same setup I have, just like Matt said, he left the bottle warmer on, but the other thing is that even though he messed up by leaving the switch on, the bottle has a blow-off valve that releases after 1700psi. It takes 3000psi to cause that bottle to explode. He had a legit case againt NX because of the failure of the blow-down valve.

What I dont understand is that why he wanted to have a seperate switch to keep the bottle warmer on after the motor is off? This makes no sense.
