  • RIP(Stealth)*-My black 3rd gen is gone :'(

    well guys shes gone, my baby burnt to the ground on august 25th at 3:04am thanks to my boondock town firedepartment lazy arses to come out of bed and save her. they didtn come for a good 45 minutes and i couldnt do much with just buckets of water. i have finally manned up to announce it to my drifting brethren on drifting.com. RIP STEALTH

    August 25th-8:04pm
    i was on my way home from virginia(went to kdr out thier) because i got some new toys for my rotary. anyways on my way home i decided to finally hit up pa. ive heard marvelous thinks from tony angelo about the mts in pa and some of the spots around thier. so i decided to finally check it out myself. i was driving around pa for a good 4-5hrs hitting up some curves and writing down directions etc etc and decided to head home (had school the next day)

    August 26th 12:04am
    finally got home and saw that my drive way had been finally repaved so i had to park on the grass. i am always hesitant to park on the grass due to a past experiences and horror stories from friends about how rotaries can ignited dead grass and just my luck the only place for me to park on the yard seemed to be a nice patch of alive grass but i came to find out i was very very wrong. i left the car running so that she could cool down and planned on comming back out in a few mins, but thanks to my sister and her boy friends shenanigans i had to get in a fight with him. spent about an hour pounding on this poor kid, wasnt treatin her right, and ran to the kitchen to get a sandwhich and turn of my baby. i go out my front door and see smoke billowing form the back of the house. is the fire place on ? noo its not oh sh!t thats my car. runn around to the back of the house and as i suspected my car my baby my girlfriend of 3 years was sitting thier burning. kdr didnt do a very good job of setting up ny new engine cooling system and put an inadequate fmic and a stock radiator back onto the car which i found out later. i run insid call 911 to get a fire truck back her so maybe i can salvage her you know, but of course everyones sleeping, and im getting the run around untill i eventually get someone. i had to wait a whole 2 hours because thier was another house on fire and one of the trucks in my boondock town had engine problems.


    August 26th 2:50 am
    by the time the fire was finally put out, about half the backyard and my car fell victim to this blaze. the car had no salvageable parts and now a black fd with about 20,000 in aftermarket parts is sitting in a junkyard in morris county.

    August 26th 10:11am
    called insurance and landscapers(parents are making me pay for the damages) plus kdr (damn you kdr damn you) and find out how much i am going to be able to recieve and how much the new landscaping is gonna cost. to make a long story short i will only come away wiht a profit of about $9500 since the new trees and grass and crap is goign to be so expensive

    anyways i just wanted to bring to your attention the downfall of my fd and what happened. i feel upset when i think about my crispy fd, but i have hope that my new project this winter (onevia or s14) will be suffice enough to help me forget my toasty buddy. i plan on setting the ground work and building up the car into a 400hp+ daily driven drift able beast and i am going to need even more help from all you tech guys at drifting.com

    anyways this is wayne signing out. hopefully all you guys can attend the wake. the junk yard gave me about 3/4s of the car as a token i guess. it is a shame what has happened to her.

    peace and afro grease
    la resistance lives onnn

                    Its not so bad that it actually burned, but that you actually had to sit there for 2 hours and watch it burn. Im sorry, really sorry, but dont you think you should've never parked on the grass. Well i hope your S project goes nicely!

                      First, the FMIC. You mentioned the FMIC was inadequate. How do you know that it was inadequate?

                      Second, the stock radiator. Every single FD owner that I know, knows not to use the stock radiator and to go w/ a quality aftermarket radiator. You mentioned that you had a stock radiator put back on the car...was stock radiator installed w/o your consent/knowledge?

                      Lastly, you said you had a new cooling system installed. What exactly was installed and who recommended the setup?

                      You seem to be pinning the blame on KDR quite a bit. I'm trying not to be biased at all....but some times, people make mistakes and will blame others (like shops) w/o blaming themselves.

                      If you can shed some light on these questions,...that may help w/ essentially "my judgement" of who may be to blame.

                      Sorry to hear about the fire.

                        Yup I fear the fire too. I remember at one of the Drift Sessions my plug wires caught on fire on the pass side. I was yelling "Fire Fire" at the guy and he thought I was joking. Then he saw the fire and got the extinguisher and put it out for me. I really thankfull that guy helped me out or else I might have had to witness the same horrifying event that you've experienced. I'm really sorry that happened to you man. First thing I did after my incident was go buy a set of Fire Extinguishers from checkers for $21. Now I always keep one in the car.
