Ok while back on a side street of broadway i noticed a this eclipse burned with an insurance claim tag on the remains of the windshield. Now i see it at m&m u-pull-it. Just wondering if its anyone on here, if they are ok and what happened. Possible pics of what it used to look like? May be a soft subject, but im just curious.

It was Rubicant’s old car. Get some pics!! I want to see it!

As to what happened, it burned!!

But seriously from what I’ve heard, 1800\*+ EGT’s and 30 lbs of boost on a stock bottom end = KABOOM!

RX3 was apparently riding shotty when it happened. Everyone made it out ok.

A domestic performance shop owner was tuning and was not familiar with this kind of build, or anything like it. Forced induction high revving 4 cylinders are a little bit different than old v8’s in a sense. Same principles apply but in the end he was not familiar with this kind of setup and the rest is charred history.

in 4 pics, but seriously it was stripped of the remains. Even the rear coilovers. Im very tempted to go and get the rear end to convert mine to gsx… 🙂

EDIT: After reviewing m&m pricing it would cost me $150 just for tranny and transfer case. It didnt say anything about rear end prob individual prices
