CAR-B-Q

http://www.roadrunnersauto.com/rick/...focusroast.WMV

This was fue to a massive NITROUS backfire. Apparently he was running 150 shot, and his solonoid got stuck on the "on" posisition. Mix N20 with gasoline and/or oil and..well there you go.

BTW, this has nothing to do with the car and everythig to do with its dumbass owner and/or Nitrous installer.

I just thought his video deserved to be shown in a thread not populated with retards and their comments.

besides the look, i dont see anything wrong with the focus that is worse than the 7thgencivic. Why don't you quit jumping on the bandwagon and come up with your own opinions
