From how the story goes, the guy dragged his mate, pulled up at the next set of lights and it caught fire.

The owner was driving it.

It's been posted here before too.

I think I posted something along the lines of "Sucked in".

I wonder if the heat of the turbo after the drag along with some oil set the header wrap around the turbo on fire and or the silver heat resistant foil behind that... which then set everything else on fire.

For those of you who have never heard of Google. Here is the link and story from NAISOC....
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1137262
Nasif asked me to post this up for him as he doesn't have an account right now.

"All my HARD WORK, BLOOD, SWEAT, and TEARS into this project...now it all has came to an end. There's not much of an explanation for this, but I guess it all happens for a reason. I never expected this to happen. After I have gotten everything to run just perfect and look at its show standards, the only thing I truly love all goes into flames...suffering and literly balling and crying watching my pride and joy just burn. I tell myself "What did I do?" and "Why do I deserve this?" after over $80,000 of non stop investing it's all gone. I have no idea what caused this, but i do know that God didn't want me to own this car anymore. Everyone is probably going to ask me the same thing and say "Were u racing?" well yess and no... Me and Victor (Owner of JDMAutoHaus) were on our way to the shop following one another and he was in his Red NSX...we both decided to be jerks and race eachother and that was the last of it...As I came to a stop at the red light Victor says he witnissed something ignite in my engine bay and then BOOM! There she went...fire starting in my engine compartment, I had time to make it out before the rest of the car went to burn. All I can do is sit there and watch the car just burn away tearing and thinking in my head that I should burn dead with the car. It just makes the matter worse to just sit here and dwell on it and it was a big learning experience...Now it's time to move on to bigger and better things...For all the Subie owners out there...I'm sorry U have to see this, but now I am letting everyone see what they have been hearing...Farewell to my Golden Lady...*RIP* =( "
