My buddy saw a 914 red on fire along 605 freeway at the carpool lane.

I hope the owner is okay!

Couldn't resist that one. I truly hope it isn't one of us. I saw a red one in Temecula about 2 month's ago.

I hope that owner and the car are OK. Seriously. Every 914 should at least have a fire extinguisher on board. In my build we are adding a fire suppression system. Nothing fancy, maybe 3 heads in the engine bay. Hope it is never activated. But after going through all we all go through to build and enjoy these cars, we don't want to see one taken by fire.

Don't drive your 914 without one of any type...
Spend a little more and get a Haltron H3R type...2.5 lb one is about $130

That is a bit narrow minded, isn't it?

If he/she owns a 914, doesn't that make them "one of us" anyways?

I've been there with that fire thing, makes a huge mess and the firemen (at least with my car) carry large pry bars. They turned my hood into a taco a few years ago. I will have a few fire extinguishers when I get the new car running (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Recently ordered the 2.5 lb bottle from Amazon. $132., free shipping, no tax (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have all new R309 hoses and SS lines, but it never hurts to be prepared (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
