yea it has taken me over 11 months to fix this car... ( i got it in july,2009) then to finnally have it runnin and then on fire.... it sucks....
well at least i can say i drove a Porsche 944...!!idk if i should start over or part it out....  krystar- this happend in IL, in Buffalo Grove. a friend said it would be on the new or online not sure ill see if i can find the link and it would have a video of it burnin up. KevsPorsche944- oh i was in rage!!! 1st cause of the fire and second cause the fire ppl wouldnt hurry up to turn it off!!! i have a video of it happing they took there sweet ass time....  and im crying in the inside right now and when it was happenin...But idk how to post video on this forum if that possible? i would like to know so i can show you guys. I wasnt driving the car it was my twin brother i was behind him as you can see form the 1st pic, i was behind and my friend was on ther right side of the 944(burned now). yea well im wondering if any one has some extra part i can have or buy for a cheap price?? from the look of it i would need a brake master cylinder, afm, the air flow meter boot., fuel lines underneath, wiring for the dme, coolan tank, radiator fans(one), and alternator belt. hopefully that all... and i think the cable for the cluch since its stuck all the way down... |

this part made me laugh a little.
"The car was NOT being serviced at Quality Car." What type of insurance did you get on the car?

Was the car actually running when the fire started, or did it cut out from fuel starvation and then subsequently light up? Depending on whether the ignition was cut or not, the fuel pump may have literally been feeding the fire... what a nightmare!
