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

I hope the owner is okay!

Is it a member here?

There was a red one at Pomona yesterday...

Did you happen to notice if if had pretty bumpers or a primo dash?

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.

A sure reminder that all 914s NEED TO HAVE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON BOARD AT ALL TIMES…..!!!!

Did you stop to get the VIN for the DB?

My friend is the one who saw the car and it is on freeway and at the car pool lane. He said there was a police at the time he passed the car but no fire truck yet.

If you haven't changed your fuel lines you could be next.

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.

That is only going to help if you get to the Fire Early!

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's the one I have in my car! Buy the 2.5lbs model!!!!

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

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

And I'm water cooled. Can't be too careful!

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

Those dry chemical ones are NASTY!!!!!! Almost would rather let it burn. Highly corrosive stuff--and MESSY.

Not always.

Recently ordered the 2.5 lb bottle from Amazon. $132., free shipping, no tax

I have all new R309 hoses and SS lines, but it never hurts to be prepared
