Fire re-tar-did spacers
I say thank those phelonic spacers.
THINK ABOUT IT
They decreased the intake temps/engine temp/which decreased the engine bay temp therefore saving the passenger compartment
Whos wit me on this one?.........Lol.
Glad you were fully insured.Now get the 7th gen

The main problem... If the line let go it will not simply drip or dump on the manifold... It will spray in a mist, all over it.
Anyone can tell you that a flamable liquid in a mist can ignite far easier than if it was just dumped on the manifold. Normally it would smoke because as it drips, it is just smothering itself.

**** man, sorry for your loss....but atleast you're ok.
By the way, for those who are wondering what he'll get next, he stated it on the first page of this thread.....4 cyl Camry, as a daily driver.
Why, you ask?
Because he has a honda cbr600rr and according to him, everything else feels slow.
Hope this helps!

Whoa that is indeed scary!! Glad you were out of the car when that happened and I agree. Once you get a bike everything else is slow no matter how modded it is, a bike will usually beat it. Not always, as I've seen...but usually!
Hope you can recoupe your losses and get something really nice!

to the people sayin "Thank god the gas tank didnt blow" dont worry, gas tank explosions are movie magic, in real life, the gas tank will never explode, they are fitted with safety valves which melt once it reaches a certain temperature. So the only thing you'll have is a huge fireball, but nothing that will blow the **** up in your face. This is what allows the firefighters to make aggressive attacks on car fires, knowing there won't be debri and shockwave flying towards us.

The UIM spacer did not survive the fire, but the LIM spacers did. The the fuel hose actually burned up and released the residual fuel from the fuel line. So gas was definitely a part of this fire.
