nevins Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Quick question, a mates evo 6 has been burnt out and it was a time attack car. Is it ok to re use the roll cage and would the rear diff and transfer box be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Can't see the roll cage being ok bud, heat and steel is never a good combo. The steel, depending on the temperature, could be a lot harder and more brittle. Not good for impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 thats scrap then, main thing that burnt on the car was the tyres and engine bay, as the car was stripped out. Also had a empty tank as it had bee drained. So no big explosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyh_15 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 depends how hot the fire got really will depend on what sort of molecular damage it would have done and what the cage is made out of!would not know about the rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 The cage is fia approved, cds steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Any chance you got any shots of the car on fire\after fire? Normally you have photographers at the Time Attack Races. Though I would echo Scott & Bradleyh's comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 It was in the workshop some little shits set fire to the shop with it in by the time the fire brigade put it out the car was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyh_15 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 cage is probably shot then mate! little bastards! but unfortunately as a fire fighter I go to a lot of incidents like this and it annoys the hell out of me that they can just destroy other peoples property/livelihood without giving it a second thought!
