Jesus Christ, that was funny. Chipped dipschit diesel owner gets his EGTs so high that it ignites, doing donuts on ice. I can't stop laughing. His insurance company is going to tell him to pound sand and btw, you're canceled.

Is it the lack of forward movement which I'm guessing lowers airflow that causes exhaust temps to get too high? I know very little about diesel.

That sucker caught fire rather quickly. What else could cause that?

That was funny.

Do you think he broke an oil line to the turbo or did he just melt it all down?

Thats different, normally near Langley when there is a burning car there is a body left in it, or was used in a recent shooting. Hopefully our provincial auto insurance won't give him a dime.

Amateur. He should have installed side radiators in the back for proper cooling during doughnuts .

Yep, hilarious. I had to send it to a few buddies.

And as stated, I'm sure the donuts followed by the fire got her panties sufficiently wet...






...because she peed them laughing at him so hard.

So that was it then, a lack of air flow. Amazing how quickly that temperature rose.

It doesn't actually make sense that he could load it up enough to get temps that high on ice...must have been some really horrible aftermarket tune. I'm guessing that the unburned fuel in the exhaust/turbo needed for the black smoke somehow ignited but it could have been an oil line leaking or ruptured...also possibly a fuel line...who knows?

All I know is that it was funny. Really funny.
