I don't know about this......sounds like a bad tune that went wrong. This is not the first one I heard that the car caught on fire.

^^I think Vinny has been on the same tune for quite some time now.

Racersky

So wait he's running aem fic right? There's a guy i think he's from NY who was running aem fic with the dezod kit and had the same affect doesn't look so good for aem in my perspective now.

i doubt its the engine management that caused it, bad tune could blow a motor but i dont think it would cause fire unless he got a boom while driving hard.. He mentioned he just wired his slim fans 3 hrs before it happened..

That suck man.

Im curious how you wired your slim fans, you mentioned it was few hours before the fire. Did put a fuse on it or you wired it with the factory wires directly? is this an add on fan to your stock or full replacements?

I planning to add a fan on mine and I wanna make sure its safe lol

My fan is wired into my ignition. So, when I turn the key the fan comes on and stays on.

i prolly will do a switch on mine so i can turn it off when i dont need it.. its gonna be add on fans so I dont want all 4 fans running most of the time

wow..that's really sad

Just one 12inch fan here.

GReddy_tC

I replacced the two factory one with one 12" slim fan. I used the factory wires.

But, good news. I've decided to get another tC. I want to get a Super White, Indigo Blue Pearl or a Black tC.. Im leaning towards the IBP.. Looking to get one for around 14,000 with less than 50,000 miles. Also, I would like a 05-06 so I can do the E-Manage Ultimate raise rev limit n remove speed limiter.. Probably rev to 6,800

It's Indigo Ink Pearl, not IBP, and it was only offered as an 05. I have one.

GReddy_tC

Ok.. lol I knew tht looked weird. But, yea hopefully I can find a IIP if not ill go with white. Best colors to me..

<3 IIP and SW. IIP is def the best blue for the tC, blends nicely with carbon fiber, but SW is still my number one choice.

^agreed.. but i like the darkness of Nautical Blue.. its so darkkkk blue i love it.

GReddy_tC

I need to see a good picture of both in the light. because now that I think of it maybe the Nautical Blue is the one I like.. Are those to Colors pretty similar..?
