So tonight i was leaving a friends house to a party, when my car desides to have a gas leak and blow up..... I was driving to a party, when i noticed the rpm's wouldn't go higher and i was pushing the gass pedel to the floor, so i down-shifted to get the rpm's to shoot back up and when i did nothing happened so i pulled over. When i did so i turned the flashers on and when i did the car busrt into flames on the passenger's side of the car my best friend Rachelle was in the car and she was soo shocked that I had to basically get her out of the car about 5 seconds; soon after we got out the car, it burst into flames like a burnt piece of steak.....the fire department said it was a gass leak..



here are some pics....

More pics coming soon

holey sh!t!~! I hope no one was hurt?

WTF! WOW! OMG!@#*&#$(# Thats SO UNREAL, is that possible, thats crazy, im glad to hear everybodys alive, that seriously needs to go under investigation. Wow... im am... sppeechless, thats so crazy, omg i can't stop looking at those pictures, is that even real? omg omg omg, crazy...

WTF?! Ditto on the hope everyone is OK.
Stock or modded? Just wondering if something that was done might have caused it - to save others the same fate.
Damn that is terrible looking.

glad no one was hurt... first story of this, seems to be an isolated situation. i'm guessing the 8 was modded. glad though everyone was okae.

WT..? i thought it was another shoot flame thread.. glad you're ok..

Whoa! I opened this thread thinking I would see a fancy flame paint job. Glad to hear that you both got out in time. That is not a good way to die.

i opened this thread thought it was flame coming out of exhaust ....


DAMN...if it is stock...mazda is going to be paying some BIG $$ to you....

Holy crow! I hope you're both ok! WOW!

You said "the headers burnt off". Are you reffering to a mod?

Wow

Arson is a good way to cast off a supposed lemon. Of course maybe one of your rotors cracked again.

WOW. good thing you guys got out in time.. that's scary.

yah fire deparment said it was a fuel leak... i remeber getting out of the car and there is a 20 ft line going back of fire... like in back to the feauture...

and yes we got out ok... but if we were there another 5 secs... we'd be toast.

Wow, I am speechless. Glad you're ok!

Damn.

I cleaned the images up a bit so we could see more detail. I'm suprised the windshild did not break out.

Not quite the first. Remember arosenkrans a few months back? Hers spontaneously combusted while parked. I believe they traced it to a fuel leak in the engine compartment.

Ken

Coils are burnt!

Based on all the work you said your 8 had http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=112852
there is a good chance someone made a mistake on the third engine you had put in.

Holy crap

OMG ! I'm so sorry :(

o yes i agree with the mistake... and here are some better pics...

holy shit!!

Still under warrenty? Glad to hear you're okay. Sorry you have to experience this.

-Cody

yes the engine they just put in is still under warrenty

Not quite the first. Remember arosenkrans a few months back? Hers spontaneously combusted while parked. I believe they traced it to a fuel leak in the engine compartment.

I wonder if it was from an injector leak. I had one on my car. I kept telling the Mazda service people that whenever I was stopped at a light I could smell fuel. Once you got going it would disappear. They looked it over and ran some tests. They didn't believe me until I managed to get the service advisor to ride with me. He was then convinced. The took it back into the shop and after about 1/2 they found one of my injectors was leaking.

:SHOCKED: :crying: Glad you're okay, like some of the other guys I thought you had some fancy flame job, Flame derby, or fire coming out your exhaust, not your engine :SHOCKED: . Maybe we outta start carrying mini fire extinguishers in our cars. Holy crap, still in shock.. :SHOCKED:

uhh... i don't think a fire extinguisher would have put out the fire....lol

Just saw this on Houston-Imports. Glad to see you're alright.


As if the RX-8 didn't get "flamed" enough on that forum already...

A rotary is like an islamic extremist - chances are it'll end up blowing up in the end.

holy crap man, glad your alright, holy crap, thats lemon to the max, shit dude, mazda will be paying you some shitload of money ftw, but still, serious, has this been going on for a while? any precursors?

My next mods will be a flame-suit and fire extinguisher.

My next mods will be a flame-suit and fire extinguisher.
To go along with our quart of oil and coolant! But seriously.

-Cody

problems with the car have been happening ever since the middle of 05. the Joe meyers dealership knows my entire family by first name basis... it blows and its rediculous

with all this talk about a fuel leak, I've noticed that under WOT, I can smell fuel from inside the car. This started since my 30k service about 1 month ago. I wasn't too concerned but now after this, i might have to take it in!

uhh... after this.. how about everybody take you car in and check for a fuel leak... i don't think anyone here especially those with fully modded cars would want to watch there car just go up in flames.... i know i dind't...

Damn, that sucks bro.. Hopefully you and your friend are okay. Same thing happened to a lady friend of mine, had a gas leak on her PT Cruiser. It also burst into flames, right as she pulled up in her driveway at home.

man, I should go check out my car, maybe the smell of fuel in when I start up my engine isn't just random afterall @.@

Sorry that happened to your car and glad you're okay.

Thank god you're ok... this is quite an experience...

WTF! This is crazy! I'm glad to hear you 2 made it out alive!

This is insane... i was expecting some fat exhaust and a youtube link to go with...
I'm so sorry about your car... and so glad you guys got out in time.. :angel:

so, parting anything out?



whats left of it atleast...

I think the only things left are rear bumber?

Not a good job.

Let the insurance investigators look it over and maybe they can find out what caused the major fuel leak. Only thing I can see that would cause that much fuel is a hole in the tank or the main fuel line came off. I would think it is related to the fuel line myself. This would explain your lose of power all of a sudden. No fuel. Well fuel was still pumping that was the cause of the fire gettting so big so fast.
Anyway just my view on the incident. Glad no one was hurt. It could have been a lot worse.
Again Glad you and your friend are alright.

man, sue mazda, if its their fault, they should pay the price

so, parting anything out?



whats left of it atleast...
vultures. a moment to mourn at least?

glad to see you guys got out safely.

yah the bumper and the trunk... from jsut looking at it, but i'll be parting the Borla Exhaust if its not damaged. and maybe the tein springs if anything there will be 2 of the teins... thats all i know as of now, i will know more by tomarrow.

O and 2 ADR 18's with tires...

must........resist...........urge........to....... ...ask.........for.......exhaust.......ARG!!!

as soon as i found out what is salvageable i'll let yall know cuz as of right now... everything is either burnt or water logged.

How old are you?

20

Thank God U all got out of the vehicle, I believe this is an isolated incident for the 8. Still makes we want to visit the dealership!

Damn, I too thought it would be a flaming exhaust, not the frickin car! :SHOCKED:
Glad you got out in time and all is okay. I always carry a fire exstinguisher and have for years. It obviously wouldn't have saved the car, but it could've helped if one of you two had been on fire. Jeez, that sucks! So, if you just had an engine put in, is it safe to assume you hadn't modded that one yet? Also, it seems if you did just have it replaced, they may have screwed up the install.

omg....glad to hear that you guys are ok!

hell i am glad too.. yah i never desicded to modd the engine cuz of the fact that the engins is an officaly P.O.S. so i just waited.. good thing i did the worst is i jsut baught a mazda speed kit for it too the day before.

your fender vents are hot!!

fuel injector leak.. # 2.

sorry. i hope you get a new car from mazda.. keep us posted on how this plays out..


beers :beer:

Damn i can really use the black plastic piece under the back bumper.the right muffler one and the middle one.

There should be a signed report as to the cause from the fire department. You can use that to go to mazda about a fuel leak. You may want a lawyer too, but if the car was still under warranty and yo didn't have any mods to the engine and the fire department ruled it as a fuel leak then I would say Mazda should replace it.

Holy crap! Glad you guys are both okay- keep us updated on the cause!

holy crap, I'm glad your ok. Makes me think even NA we should have a fire extinguisher just in case.

glad you guys made it out on time... forget about the car dude

Glad everyone got out safely. Keep us updated.

I am going to see what I can do about parts for you voltures(sp) out there... :spank: Like i said before the only things salvage able are probably 2 rims and 2 tires, the borla exhaust, and the system, i went and looked at the car today and the tein springs have melted into a pile of metal along with everything else in the front of the car basically everything from the back doors to the trunk is fine.. O and for the exhaust i don't know about it because i don't know how far the flames went under the car and since its a full catback system and all 4 doors are burnt and toasted....O another thing i say the mirrors burnt off.. ..but i will see what I can do... but i don't think im going to get another mazda....from the looks of it I am goin to have a car imported over here from japan. either nissan or toyota.. but i'll let yall know whats going on..

don't let this one lemon of a car ruin you on the 8 experience. from your posts i can understand your frustration but you had to have bought it for a reason in the first place.

CRAZY - glad to hear you made it out alive.

-hS

O yes don't get me wrong the Car has got to be one of the sexiest looking pieces of metal i have ever seen lol... you don't even need to jack off... lol but the thing that blows my mind is how Mazda can say they "re-designed the rotary" and it be a p.o.s. if i ever did get another mazda i would prefer a 7.

hell i am glad too.. yah i never desicded to modd the engine cuz of the fact that the engins is an officaly P.O.S. so i just waited.. good thing i did the worst is i jsut baught a mazda speed kit for it too the day before.
Wow, I hope you just make a lot of typos...
Pretty convenient for you that the car is totaled considering all of the problems you have been having.


Glad everyone got out alright.

You should probably look at other cars, perhaps a Honda/Acura.

:shocking: :shocking:

o ok so yah the exhaust rims and springs are shot.. the only thing i saved was the rims... and somehow flames got into the ignistion and burnt the key and melted platic to it... i had to rip the key out of the ignition...

^ aww, sorry to hear that man, well, if you really want a safe car next time, I really recommend toyota, and I'm not kidding, they are really safe, but they kinda suck, but hey! get a prius, its total opposite of the rx-8 and will give you a different experience!

no. I WILL not drive that... lol

you can let your half-blind step-cousin whose 15 year old drive it, and it'll still be safe!!!

what more can you ask?

the next best thing is an rx-8 ofcourse :)

Brutal pics glad to hear both of ou made it out safe.

whoa, that's pretty crazy.

no more 8's for me i think ima go with an Evo 8 if i can afford it

no more 8's for me i think ima go with an Evo 8 if i can afford it


Just waited it out and get the Project X. why go 8 when you can go X for about the same price?

no more 8's for me i think ima go with an Evo 8 if i can afford it
Can't blame ya after that experience

but why not an evo IX or MR

... true true.. i am actually going to the dealership in a minute to see what the priceses would be for an evo 8, 9 and MR

ok well i would like to thank everyone for caring, and i will know how much money i will be recieving from this fiasco and i will keep yall informed. thanks everyone

ok well i would like to thank everyone for caring, and i will know how much money i will be recieving from this fiasco and i will keep yall informed. thanks everyone

We would be curious about how they make it right with you!

Peace

Wow .. that is insane! At first I thought your thread would be about flames from your exhaust or somehow a poke at how poorly the Calgary Flames did. Glad you are ok.

That's scares me I have right now an issue with the smell of gaz I started a thread about that. :Eyecrazy:

well if your smelling gass... and my car blew up cuz of a gass leak.. you prolly have gass leaking somewere so i think u should get that checked out.

I smell gas too, but after the engine warms, the smell is gone, and nothing funky has happened yet

i wouldn't risk it...

Which dealership have you been using?

you asked me this already... Joey Myers Mazda... Off 290 and Senate Ave.

Mazda Owes you big time! Thats Messed up!!! What year was that RX-8? I think its time to contact a Lawyer or see what they are offering a New RX-8 and Professional negligence and punitive damages $$$.

Damn thats messed up how did you get home? Keep all your reciepts. Kinda remind you of the Yugo and Pinto fire trouble. Except that I've never heard pf this happening before with RX-8s.

You mean Joe Myers Mazda owes him big time....
MazdaNAO had nothing to do with a tech not attaching a fuel line back up correctly (assuming that is really the cause of the fire)

I have no worries, I'm on empty :FIREdevil

lol thats what you think

You mean Joe Myers Mazda owes him big time....

Yes, but MNAO is the parent organization so they have ultimate responsibility to see that this is taken care of.

a tech not attaching a fuel line back up correctly (assuming that is really the cause of the fire)

wow, i'd smell as serious lawsuit there...

wow.....nice to hear your safe....wow, somehow im not surprised to see it happen to an rx...lol oh well I just hope it doesnt happen to me...real happy to hear everyone made it out alright

I think this curse of the silvers is really getting out of hand. Glad to hear u are all okay.

Yes, but MNAO is the parent organization so they have ultimate responsibility to see that this is taken care of.
Well he has made no effort to contact/complain to MNAO because they have no record of his problems and the local reps have no heard anything about it. Sounds like he is just working it out with Joe Myers

I guess if it doesn't work out with JM, then MNAO is going to have to deal with the mess.

we have not conataced anyone yet becuase our insurance company is still trying to figure out the actual cause. the only thing we did was call Jm and let them know what happened and that they will be hearing from us.

I was at JM today getting new Tail lights (condensation).
While I was waiting & watching them install the lights, I overheard a group of Employees talking about this.

They were talking about who worked on the 2 or so engines that were put in. That's kinda wiered to overhear a conversation today at the service department and then find out on the forum, somthing as bad as what transpired here.

This whole topic really scares me.
My Rx8, does the same thing all the time that urs did before it blew up.
When i start to go up and hill i hear a horrible noise, and loose all power, and just like u said when i downshift and try to get some, it doesnt have any to give.
I think I should be worried???? anymore things that it was doing prior to this?? i have taken mine to Mazda several times and they never seem to find anything wrong with it, because it never does it when i get it over to them.. haha...

hmm sounds like sombody's sweat'n....

The kid in Chicago who wrecked into a pole had the car catch fire and burn him and his passenger to death. If you smell gas, then the car is LEAKING FUEL. Period. Do not accept it back from a dealership until there is NO FUEL SMELL coming from the car. Make them find it. At the very least, fuel is an unburned hydrocarbon, hence it's an emissions problem, and covered until 70,000 miles here in the US.

F.Y.I. i got 17 thousand from the insurance for my car.... : (

i hope to god that your ins comp is going after the dealer.

beers :beer:

How much do you still owe on your car? It is a lot more than $17k?

One of those reasons it's smart to get gap coverage....

Sorry dude. If you can sell any parts I need a bumper. I'd come pick it up.

car is already payed off...gap coverage???

no sorry the only thing salvageable was the system in the trunk everything else= destroyed. : (

car is already payed off...gap coverage???

no sorry the only thing salvageable was the system in the trunk everything else= destroyed. : (

Didn't know the car was already paid off. Smart move by you.

Some people decide to finance a car and don't get gap coverage, meaning they have to pay the difference between the amount insurance will pay and the amount they owe.

oo ok i get it now

well our insurance company gave is jsut under 18 thousand and thats including the parts i lost in the fire... : ( well i'll keep yall informed on the the rest.

How much did you owe on the car? The car cost when you bought it?

payed 23 i think for it and its payed off

well just to let yall know i will be leaving the Mazda community... I will be joining the Subaru's now... : )

Before you go, would you mind cutting the exhaust tips off your 8 and mailing them to me? That would be swell. I'll give you $50.

Hasta.

Sorry, thought you could use a little levity. Just glad you're OK. Cars are just stuff at the end of the day. Stuff doesn't matter. Stuff is fun. Stuff can make us happy, but stuff doesn't matter.

Stew

well our insurance company gave is jsut under 18 thousand and thats including the parts i lost in the fire... : ( well i'll keep yall informed on the the rest.

And therein lies the reason I don't spend dollar 1 on mods ...

Youngen.... Including the fire and all what was your MPG? ;)

Oh and since you basically saved Rachelle's life, in my culture you basically own and have rights to her body. She should provide all the physical gratification you desire...

$17,000 and a personal concubine? Hey that's not bad!

what's the dealer's word? they should give you a new car!!

we ended up taking a $15,000 check from insurance and i got a 2004 RSX type S dumped it on Tein HA's, 17 5zigen FNo1rc's wrapped in sumituma (sp) tires, type r fogs, type r lipkit, type r wing, type r shift boot, mugen shift knob.= with more to come. we took the check and left it at that.

damn man, I'm sorry for your loss

wow, thats tough man. just glad your alright!

on your last page you said a check for 17K. why 15K now? (if you don't mind me asking?)

yeah... why?

vultures. a moment to mourn at least?

glad to see you guys got out safely.

Yes, I agree. At least a moment of silence for the lost 8.

Sorry about your the fire. Glad no one was hurt.

Whoa, that's massive! So what's happening with it?

Whoa, that's massive! So what's happening with it?

whats massive??

sorry for the confusion i was told wrong by my father.

any pics of what you bought after all this?

oh...man...im sorry to hear that!
glad you're ok!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/youngen/SSPX0233.jpg

sorry for the shitty pic....this is without the lipkit. i don't have a camera it broke.....when i get a new pic i'll post it

btw, youngen, howd u go from an rx8.........to an rsx? why didn't the insurance give you a new rx8? that is what they should have done

i didn't want an 8 that car gave me soo much trouble... it was in the shop litterally almost every month for somthing. im glad its gone. the only mazda i will ever own is be 95 rx7 (not anytime soon lol not enough cash for one)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/youngen/SSPX0233.jpg

prick.

That wing is a little big for my personal tastes, but its your car, not mine.

sorry to hear about your car.

Enjoy the RSX-S, it's a fun car to drive. It looks great as well, especially with a few mods. I seriously considered purchasing one a few years ago and went on many test drives.

A shopping cart handle. How appropriate.


:rollingla :rollingla :rollingla :rollingla :rollingla :rollingla :rollingla

Crazy stuff.

Seems like you went the conservative way on this. Should have pushed for more out of Mazda and yer dealer. Why did you let your insurance take over all of it? Push for new 8 and sell it. :/

its too bad you let the one odd ball rx8 (only 2 reported cases of this?) discolor your image of rx8s.

i've never had a problem with mine and i drive it like i stole it.

prick.

He does have a point tho

in person its not that big. n with the type r lip kit everything is in propotion... lemme get the pics take with it... i loved the 8 when i had it and it wasn't in the shop.. like i said before i will get another mazda but it will be a 7 this time.

Man did you use Royal purple?

They towed it the wrong way.................... now your tranny is toast too!!!!!

Man did you use Royal purple?



LAWLZ!!!! lol hell no i didn't

And this is why you DON'T put your extra oil under the hood. See what happens?

I'm completely kidding. Glad everyone is ok.

^ tell that to renesis SE3P, he keeps extra oil in his hood, I have no comment

wow... now for the first time I feel lucky that my car is bone stock...

wow... now for the first time I feel lucky that my car is bone stock... glad you and your friend are OK.

if it was mods that caused the fire, we would have alot more toasty 8's

glad u got a new car! the rsx certainly seems like it would be a fun car to drive. post up some pics of it with the new lip on it..id like to see it

Get yourself a lawyer and buy out Mazda.

WTF

dude wtf are you doing?!?!? :Eyecrazy:

SUE MAZDA'S JAPANESE ASS!

you only got 15k out of this whole fiasco??!? ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU ALMOST DIED SON!
not to mention your little friend too..

if i was you i'd press charges and sue...charge them with every conceivable charge you can find in the book, and GET AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU CAN!!!!

jesus christ...are you stupid or what?!?!?!
i don't think you realize that you can get so much bank from this scenario...you don't have to settle for a RSX which is a car that looks like it was designed after a burger king toy model.

jesus christ wow...people can be dumb....:icon_no2: :icon_no2: :icon_no2:

That shit is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Wow, car-b-que of the highest order. Glad you're OK and glad you have insurance.

To the tool that said "wow, Mazda is going to owe you a lot of money" ... umm no, that's what insurance is for.

OMG! man thats just wrong! Good thing you guys are ok. I think I'm going to Auto Zone to get a fire extinguisher to keep in the trunk.

The curse of the silver strikes!

lol another thread resurrection... but yeah, that is scary...

WTF

dude wtf are you doing?!?!? :Eyecrazy:

Ah yes, the new American dream.

well if my car got wtf-pwned to the degree where it BLOWS UP :Eyecrazy: , theres no way in hell that i'd be settling for a replacement car that isnt even worth as much as the 8 (an RSX....ROFL!!!!!) and theres no way in hell that i'd be fine with no reimbursements :icon_no2:...

i'd take it far beyond just sueing the dealership, id go for the mazda corporation. this whole situation is crazy, if your life was in danger and you had a near death experience, i'd EXPECT to get the kind of money from this lawsuit to EASILY afford a brand new Z06. :anger:

Ah yes, the new American dream.

you arent american without a few pending lawsuits and extreme levels of debt.... duhhhh :uhh:

how can i sue mazda if the insurace can't find out what caused it??? nobody can... its burn to a crisp basically the entire engine melted togeather.... if i could sue i would and since i was living with my parents and they paid the insurace my dad is to laid back to deal with all that shit... he's retired i could care less if i got money from them, more important things in life than money. and plus the RSX i have now, will be completely done by mid next year or end of nxt year. i will be able to run 12's in the quarter...
