CRX Tragedy This sucks!!

This car belongs to a friend of mine, It was Saturday night and he parked inside his garage and a couple hours later he called to tell me his garage burnt down with his car in it. Car is completely destroyed, melted everything, from the wheels to most of the engine, except the block. This really sucks and reminds you to keep an eye on old electrical work. Just thought i'd share this with everyone since it is amazing to me.

Hope he had good insurance.

he only had liability but he said home owners insurance will cover it but only for the price of the car itself, not any of the mods that were done.

I would puke if that was my car. I would be sick for 7 days and 7 nights. Oh wait when they totalled my car I did puke and was sick for 7 days and 7 nights. Then on the 8th day I bought another civic. HEHE

omg that is awful. what exactly happened? Just shitty electrical wiring in the garage?

We dont exactly know yet but that may be what happened. It was an old garage but it could have also been vandalism. Detectives are doing an investigation on what happened. When I find out what happened ill let ya know.

Damn, what did he have in it, did he do the work his self, cause that would kill me to put my time into something like that and then its gone just like that.

Man that blows. Strip it to the frame and do a ground up build

not worth it, he can get another car for like 200 and do a swap easily

the body got crushed from a beam in the garage plus im sure the fire weakend the whole chassis of the car, not worth it, there is nothing left. He replaced the tranny with an si tranny, stage 2 act clutch and fidanza 7lb flywheel. Heres a pic of the car about 4 months ago.http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/3/web/759000-759999/759736_47_full.jpg

Damn that sucks. Time to start again...

How can he get another for that price? I can't dind a wrecked one with a blown motor here for that price. Cheapest one I have seen was $3k

With the amount of lies 5gcivic has been telling on this board, I doubt very much if the pic in his message belongs to a friend of his.... Then again, he might start deleteing threads again to prevent being caught...

i find it odd the cars red... but in the burnt pic its yellow.... that doesnt make sence

if a beam crushed a car... it wouldnt crush just portions... notice it looks like the fronts crushed and the back but the middle by the top of the rear windows fine? u would think that would be crushed too

toss up more pics tho if infact this actually happened

yea i agree, plus you see the rims? i don't believe that a fire would melt a rim completly, cause if you look at picture, the rear wheel is burnt to pieces. maybe on a steelie it would work.

ill give the beam part to him, while i have not a doubt in my mind the car isnt his, or anybody he knows (btw 5g if you dont know the person, better hope they never find you, it is illegal to post someones picture without theire concent)but a beam or a couple of beams or atleast somethign heavy did fall on that car, but it has stock rims on it, if the rims did melt, which with the temperature of fires, and aluminum rims, is possible, it wouldnt melt down to a small round disk, it would melt to the ground in a flat blob, also car looks like it could have been in tear down for a swap or build up, the rear end plastic and windows woud have made a huge fucken mess, because glass wouldnt boil off to nothing, and its convenient that there is no sign of glass in the reare, both side windows and mirror

i say as punishment for being a lieing dipshit :banhim: :banhim: :banhim: and not just the name the ip from creating a new account if possible

If you didnt know, there is this little thing called rust! And with no protection on a bare metal surface rust develops very quickly. And about dmbriskets reply about the pools of metal and glass not being anywhere on the ground, as I said in my first post of this thread the car was in the garage. They pulled the car out to start clean up.

Rust isn't yellow... Secondly you're credibility here is shot.... Between Saying that your truck had 300k on the 2.8 when it died a few days ago when you had just posted that truck saying it had a 350 and you try to show a dyno sheet, and then on the car domain site you link to your names don't even match, and then on the web site it said it had a rebuild at 64k, then you tried to delete the thread in which you claimed the truck had a 350 w/ a posted dyno sheet in order to cover your tracks.... Your credibility is exactly 0....

:loser:

exactly, rust isnt yellow... if ur serious about this, post more pics... untill then i call BS on this

Check this thread he started and got caught out in another lie... (which also links to the lie which he tried to delete but wasn't successful)

Funnily enough, a fire would not completely remove the paint, especially not to the extent that you see on that vehicle, assuming the 'yellow' is rust.

That said, I've never seen yellow rust on steel, orange and red yes, but not yellow.

the yellow is fospherus (most likely) it would be from the dirt, some clay, even brass can cause a faspherus build up, its not rust, its not even a product of oxidization (5g i know its a big word, but in short oxidization is what happens when things get besides your story are "rusty") and about cleanup, if you dont have pictures of the car INSIDE, then i know it is bs, not one person i know moves and cleans up before they take the ins. pix, dont try pullen that yellow rust shit again, im going to be a metelergist (god i dont even know if thats right spelling) i will make lots and lots of money to tell the company i work for the defect in their inguts, and not a chance steel caused a yellow buildup!

i wonder if he'll ever post again

haha ..what a dork. Why lie about something like that (?) I still feel bad for seeing a crx in that condition though :(

I am guessing 5gcivic is deleting all his posts for a reason.
I don't like liars and I dislike people who try to cover up their lies even more.
