Ok guys... here it goes : ( not sure if everyone heard about my car yet so i'll make if official ) ...

On Sunday Night on my way back from the Mall, my car caught on fire and basically blew up.... I called 911 and watched my car burn down untill they put it out.

I loved and was obsessed with this car like a maniac.... I put all my money , time , and effort into it. I never drove it to work for the fear of it getting stolen and or dinged up. It was always garaged and washed weekly in and out.

<U>This is what it started with and how i ,99slammedcivic, ended. </U>

Bought the Car stock from Honda Cars of Mckinney in January 2002 w/ 50k on it..
May I remind you the car was automatic also ! ....

After the first 1-2 years of being a ricer on 18inch enkei rs6 wheels/loud annoying exhaust and a gay header/intake on my AUTOMATIC... i found the light on Honda-tech and this is when i started loving my car.

The First Transplant was the AUTO to MANUAL swap done by Teddy at Swap Shop. It was still a d series motor but now converted to 5spd... 2 weeks later, i found an LS motor/Tranny and thus made the transplant from D series to B series...

Then I Messed around w/ LS w/ GSR tranny shortly after and this lasted for exactly 11 months b/f i finally decided to go turbo ( i had 2 previous kits but never put them on ) and my buddy Brandon ( jdmh22hatch ) installed my kit and then Stoney at Velocity made my intercooler piping/exhaust and tunned my car.

Car ended up putting down 304whp/247 wtq on like 13.9 pounds or so... ( b16 tranny now and still stock 2000 Ls motor ) .....

AND NOW THE TRUTH... I WASNT RACING OR ANYTHING... JUST DRIVING AND MY CAR STARTED BOGGING AROUND 4k... so i thought i blew my motor... i pull up to the light to stop and my buddy is next to me in his car.... Next thing i know, i smell gas and tell him... he tells me i'm leaking and BOOOOMMM i wanna cry right now ... this sucks incredibly soooo much




To all those that i raced and found out this car was no joke, i had a lot of fun w/ you guys. My car wasn't the fastest by no means, but it sure did surprise people and a couple members on this board can vouch ....

Special Thanks to all my friends on honda-tech that helped me out with all my newbie questions and that sold/bought parts from me. I'm not sure what the next step will be, but I sure wish my car was still in my garage right now ... I"ll never forget this birthday present.. my bday is on the 19th of this month

 

i really hate to read this.
your car was done nicely, shame to see it end like that
sorry bud

 

DAMN!! I can't believe that happened. I am so sorry Hisham. That makes me so sad, after all the effort you have put in the car. And I didn't get a ride either. I hope you come back better than ever.

 

damn sorry to hear man, car was clean

any ideas on what caused the fire?

 

Its a loss to imports when you see a car go down that way. But we all know that Hisham will build a stronge and better car

 

another VSM EJ gone...*sniff**sniff*

i'm sorry to hear about your loss bro. I've always praised your car for being so clean and fast. my car always looked up to yours

 

****** sorry man, thank god your ok though....cars can be replaced, but you.yourself cannot....remember its just a material possesion....(granted it was a ****** sick car) but you can always build another....

 

aww man sorry to hear about this...your car was badass. thats damn scary, how did it happen

 

Any insurance compensation.
This really does suck man. I know its much harder when in real life when its your car.
But one thing. Get right back on that horse. Maybe try all motor this time, just for something new. or do whatever you want and better luck in the future.

 

damn that was one bad *** car Hisham had... sorry it had to end up like this...

 

OMFG. i wanted to see the car in person just ONCE!. its sad to see it go.

on a side note. have yo uever drove it anywhere else before? o mean you took it to a guy who knows his stuff...i dont know but i think foul play should be an optino.

sorry for the loss.

sorry to see that man. but build it up to be even better and stronger

 

damn dat really sucks

 

damn, at least ur okay... that's all that really matters

looks like a new project in the works...

 

Damn... this is one of the cars I had seen posted in the DFW threads quite a bit and it was one of my favorite due to the look of it. No diss to the car, but at least you'll be able to sell some of the items from the car, especially those wheels. I thought you got rid of them. At least you're alright. I mean, I'm not sure what sparked but it makes me feel like I need to be more cautious about that small gas drop I saw coming from my fuel rail. I mean it's right about the starter.

 

wow!

 

wow that sucks.. none the less. willing to part anything out? if so im interested in that steering wheel.. pm me if your selling..

once again sorry for the loss bro .. sheit was clean!!

 

damn man, sorry to see such a clean VSM go like that. you're ok and thats what counts. good luck on whatever u get next.

 

Man that gotta suck any luck on finding what the cause was?

 

hisham after i got off the phone with you,i thought back how far your car has come in the last year or so ,, its sucks that its gone now, but i know you will come back wiht somthing even better ,,

 

dude this totally blows!

 

OMG why hope things turn out for the best

 

sucks hard but just keep going and building another car

 

Sorry Hisham, but please update us whenever you find out the actual cause of the fuel leak and what initiated the fire. Good luck on the future ride if you decide to keep with it.


Khoi

 

is there any reason why this happend?
