So, after being sold a car with a blown engine, and 2 years of rebuilding an amazing 2.4, with all of the upgrades, ideas and tips from this amazing group and help from the best aircooled Porsche techs in the business, this happened today.

Very sorry for your loss, hate to see another one gone. Glad you’re ok, that’s what really matters.
Here's my fire solution(s). I have a BlazeCut system installed under the lid. I do not use a rain tray since I NEVER drive in the wet. I painted the BlazeCut tube black so that it does not show through the engine cover. If you’re not familiar with BlazeCut’s effectiveness, go to their website and watch the video of the burning VW bus engine test.. And just in case I have a cabin fire, I have a Kidde extinguisher inside my custom built center console box..... |

Very sad to see and as many have said ... this concern does lurk in the back of my head. Painting the Blaze Cut black really does hide it ... Do you think that would alter the performance of the unit at all? |
