On October 27th last year, my poor sunbird bit the dust once and for all. after all the abuse i've put it through at the track, broken parts, shelled out engines, fire finally took it. the whole car didn;t go up, just the engine bay, but the car is a total loss.
basically, I went home for lunch, and about 20 min after I got home I went out to find smoke billowing from under the hood. Grabbed the extinguisher from inside and dumpped it into the front and back of the hood and the wheel wells. probably saved the rest of the car from going up, and also saved the rims. fire dept showed up just after i emptied the extinguisher and finished it.
most likely electrical. there's no real way to know what exactly happened, just that DS rear area of the bay got it the worst, so i'm guessing it started there.
here's pics:

the leftovers are up for sale here and on a couple other sites. feel free to puruse those ads, i'd like the engine to go to a good and useful home, as it's ok, just needs a donor V6 car and some new gaskets.
