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!
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

 

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... 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.

 

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.

 

 

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!
