    How are we going to aFord to fix that?

  2. Random @sshole says:

    gibba gab…

  3. Well, that car certainly went out with a bang.

  5. Sergio says:

    I saw a video of an old RX-7 that did a burnout for 3 minutes until the engine popped. Depending on how long this Civic was going for determines whether it was a fail or a win!

    I guess this wasn’t one of those reeeeaaaaallllyyyy ghetto civic owners with the tiny fire extinguisher strapped to the A-piller

    Woohoo, Jam!

      Woop woop! :D

  7. chez says:

    So wait, they call it a burnout but don’t expect to be on fire?

  8. yay says:

    yay 8th (not as good as first though)

  9. tru3n0 says:

    What’s the cool thing about a burnout? wanna see smoke; buy a smoke maching. Wanna see fire; Buy a lighter. wanna hear loud sound; listen music. wanna be tough; learn somthing, instead of making a burnout…

    I think FAIL

    • Rofls says:

      You really don’t understand the community of bas-asses driving cars.
      Its fun to make burnouts, its awesome to hear a 4-cylinder engine revving to maximum, its cool to see smoke from the tires.

      Its pretty much a fail cause SOMEONE didn’t bring a fire extinguisher (of what i can see).

      • Dzov says:

        Burnouts are fun… well until you have to replace your $100+ tires.

        • tahrey says:

          If you’re doing it properly you use scrap types, like the barely legal ones I had put on my old banger for a couple of pounds per corner (just for the fitting, the rubber itself was free) by a mom & pop garage when I had to junk my last car. No point in letting them crush it with £300′s worth of Goodrichs still in situ.

          Plus it’d take forever to get through brand-new tyres unless you managed to burnout so hard it stripped the tread all in one go.

      • Mikeado says:

        Fire extinguisher? Pfft, these guys just poor beer on it.

      • Phoenix says:

        “Bad asses” and “4-cylinders” don’t go together. You’re half a block short of a real engine. Muscle cars are for men. Civics are for little boys who can’t run with the big dogs.

  10. MarlinMr says:

    Wasn’t this on MythBusters, and they said it could not happen??!?

    • abba says:

      yeah, totally.. maybe in this vid the engine actually caught on fire???

      • jc says:

        It seems that the engine blew up and gushed oil or gas on the hot tires.

        • scraverX says:

          More likely it gushed oil or gas onto the hot exhaust.

          • (required) says:

            The way the fire spread on the ground is definitely a sign of a major fuel leak. That’s gasoline (or whatever they were running for fuel… probably not methanol— didn’t sound like a methanol engine and methanol burns clear anyway)….

            • tahrey says:

              Ricers wouldn’t even know what methanol IS…

              Probably bounced it off the limiter one too many times, or overheated it… blew the headgasket, or the turbo (if it’s got one), oil and unburnt fuel everywhere, falling on the 1000+ celcius catalyser…

              That or it just somehow ruptured the fuel line or popped its connection to the injector rail (or the single injector… wouldn’t put it past those guys turning up to one of these with an SPi … hell, I’d do it with an SPi 1-litre and pramtyres just for a laugh… might have to wet the ground slightly to help it spin up, though). I’ve seen a couple of old GM-line cars do that just in normal use, so it’s perfectly possible that something of a similar age would do so when being hammered.

              Kinda paranoid now because my own car sometimes gets driven this close to the limit when I’m in a hurry to get somewhere… at least all the fire will be *behind* it (like some kind of james bond weapon) if it cooks off whilst approaching the sound barrier or accelerating to it, and all the fluid will have finished draining by the time it rolls to a stop.

    • Échec says:

      I thought of that too…
      And if i remember well, on Mythbuster, even with fuel on the tires it would not catch on fire…

      (But in Mythbuster, the car was rear-propeled, and the engine didn’t kind of backfired like that)

  11. ryoga81 says:

    It’s a Honda, so it failed before he even got out of bed.

  12. ZombieHDDescription - wearing a slightly soiled, blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a skull that is smashed and split wide open, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

    So we have this crowd gathered together to watch a blue Honda Civic hatchback tied to an immovable object, a very large concrete block. There is one vacuum chamber we’ll just call Vic inside the car, which is right hand drive (steering wheel on the wrong side of the car:)). Vic is standing on the gas pedal and running through the gears. Because the car is tied up, it’s not going anywhere and instead is just spinning its front tires madly. As is expected, this produces a lot of smoke, which obscures the car and everything near it. After a while, fire erupts around the front wheels (funny, I thought Mythbusters busted this myth). The car suddenly becomes silent and the crowd makes the usual noises heard when they see something burst into flames – ooh, aah. Black smoke from the fire mixes with all the white tire smoke and soon Vic high-tails it out of the car, running for third.

    “Shouldn’t fire safety be a top priority at this event?” The art of trolling ad goes pew pew at us and Kurgan (with Jam’s avatar;)) powers with “Better to burn out than fade away”. The bike dude crashes into an overpass he didn’t see through all the phallic-shaped smoke, but is revived with a bolt of lightning to proclaim DOT ORG!

    • tahrey says:

      okey doke ….

      the wheel’s probably on the right, or should that be “correct”, side for the area though – looks like urban britain, maybe australia. and by the sound of the engine (only gently bumping off the limiter, but still revving to it) and it’s likely power output, I doubt he got above 2nd gear.

      just FYI

  13. Malicite says:

    Stupid stupid stupid…

  14. d says:

    But isn’t this exactly what they intended to do???

  15. peter says:

    well…it is supposed to be a BURNout… :X

    The Smell of Good Rice made by a Ricer.

  17. Bunk says:

    http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/db/transportation/spin-car-tire-burst-flames.html

    Mythbusters state that an ordinary tire will shred itself long before reaching a temperature high enough to combust. I think the key word there is ordinary. I assume some kind of racing tire would be used at an event like this.

    • de Bunk says:

      This is only when the tires are not acted upon by an outside force. In this case, it seems as though the engine either blew the piston or cracked the cylinders, which in turn would dump an accelerant (gasoline) under the car. Enough Heat + Accelerant = BURNout haha.

      *followed by everyone chanting: “We dont need no water let the mother f’r burn, burn mother f’r burn”*

      • jeff says:

        Some of the smoke does not look right for tire smoke. The very first bits of smoke look like smoke from his clutch. Also, when the big tire smoke cloud is billowing around the car, you can still see the clutch smoke coming up through the cracks in the hood (again, this smoke doesn’t look like tire smoke…). So, if this car has three pedals (likely), he screwed up when he dumped the clutch, and it didn’t fully engage the flywheel, so the flywheel slipped against the clutch plate during the burnout. That creates a lot of heat right between the engine and the transmission, and both are already running at high speed generating a lot of their own heat, something is going to go pop. And then something along the lines of burning gasoline, engine oil or transmission fluid drops on the ground and that’s where the fire comes from.

        The tires themselves didn’t catch. The moron doesn’t know how to dump his clutch.

        • ZombieApocalypse - wearing a slightly soiled, blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a skull that is smashed and split wide open, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

          Wow, way to make it sound like you know what you’re talking about. Question, if he fried his clutch as you so claim, why are the front tires spinning so fast?

          It’s all tire smoke, at least until the engine lets go.

          As for Bunk’s claim, it’s … well, bunk. No one in this situation would mount expensive racing tires just to melt them down like this. Not on an old Civic tied to a concrete block – I mean nothing about this entire scene screams “I can afford racing tires” to me, let alone “I think I’ll destroy a set of racing tires just for fun”.

          • Ms B ♥ says:

            It went more like this:

            “Here, hold mah beer!”

          • de Bunk says:

            so you agree with me then..?

            especially about the chant, correct?

          • tahrey says:

            And probably “let’s destroy an old Civic that’s been stolen and/or going to be scrapped anyway, on the edge of this still-being constructed housing estate”. Otherwise known as “a good evening out” in Essex. The clutch may already have been fried, but the FIRST lot of smoke was definitely coming from spinning wheels. It’s not that difficult to break traction with even a low powered FWD car (I’m talking 50hp or less here) if you just lock on the handbrake, max the revs and then sidestep the clutch. If the car’s actually tied to something solid, it’s probably even easier. When you see the videos of someone burning their clutch instead of the tyres, it’s usually a high powered RWD instead.

            The second lot I suspect was probably the coolant starting to leak and flash-boil (along with the oil) from a blown head gasket or cracked cylinder head, after the engine chronically overheated. Sitting still and running continually at max rpm will do that.

      • Beatus Mongous says:

        Looks to me like the tires are still intact, and that it was in fact the engine or transmission that blew and spilled oil and gas all over.

  18. rapljwop says:

    Lesson to be learned – don’t let chavs buy cars

  19. fluffy says:

    Do you suppose he survived?

  20. Fabienne says:

    What happened to my Honda?

  21. Beatus Mongous says:

    If you have to tie your car to something in order to get it to do a burnout…

  22. aaxc says:

    This is actually a WIN since that’s how an extreme burnout looks like!

  23. PhiphyL says:

    If I’m not mistaked, this is part of a longer video clip. I don’t know why this was cropped. The funny bit is that people then try to put out with beer, which is the only liquid they have…

    • ZombieApocalypse - wearing a slightly soiled, blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a skull that is smashed and split wide open, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

      Not sure what’s funny about that. I had a diesel powered car many moons ago that caught on fire and we put it out with a 12 pack of beer (while drinking the other 12 pack, of course). It works and amazingly so did the car afterward.

      • tahrey says:

        what the hell happened to set it alight, given that diesel is damn near impossible to burn without being pressurised (or at least wicked) first?

      • tahrey says:

        what the hell happened to set it alight, given that diesel is damn near impossible to burn without being pressurised (or at least wicked) first?

        also, putting out an oil/petroleum fire with a mixture of water and ethanol = really? are you sure?
        (or was it a wiring fault, or someone dropping a cigarette on the upholstery, etc?)

    • Jeff says:

      Here’s the longer clip:

  24. ShadowTheSniperZombie C.C.C./Head of the Janitors' Union/Co-owner of ZombieTrollNetwork/makes rare sightings like bigfoot/owner of the zombie crock named fluffy says:

    He wheelie has to pay attention to fire safety 3rd.

  25. Evil says:

    How is this a fail? Epic win!!!

  26. AJ says:

    Yum, I love fried rice!

  27. Bort says:

    What a retard, honestly some people aren’t worthy of life.

  28. Limrasson says:

    That’s more likely a burnout win.
    The car burned out.

  29. You don't want to know says:

    LOL, Ricer fail. Well I guess all ricers are fails. Good thing it was burnt.

  30. brian says:

    Warning: white trash burns easily

  31. PorygonFanboy says:

    Three reasons why this is stupid:

    1. There is no purpose to a burnout other than wrecking cars.
    2. It pollutes the air with massive amounts of smoke and wastes fossil fuels.
    3. That guy could have gotten killed.

    • Mikeado says:

      1. Burnouts are a demonstration of power and a method of showing off.

      2. Well, I guess it does waste fuel. But the smoke looks awesome.

      3. Like hell he could’ve. The worst he could’ve suffered was a burnt leg. It couldn’t have shot off like a burnout-ing bike does either, because to get the front tyres to spin on an FWD you need to put the handbrake on to lick the rear axle in place.

      Yes, burnouts are daft. But that’s why they’re cool. Monster trucks are twice as pointless, yet twice as awesome. Sometimes it just works like that.

      • Mikeado says:

        Also – sorry for the double-post – the only reason it ended up mildly on fire was because he was doing it for ages – note the fade in the middle as the vid maker skipped out a big bit.

  32. Vogel says:

    Ew!

    Frontwheel drive.

  33. Mikeado says:

    VTEC just kicked in yo!!

    At least – actually I should say Unfortunately – he used some old wheels rather than the cheap chromes on the rear axle.

  34. Dirt Racer says:

    “Duuuude, your mom is gonna be so pissed when we get home!” ROFL!

  35. Cyro says:

    This is definitely a fail. Any one notice the chain holding that car in place? Look behind it. A real car does not need a chain to hold it in place.

  36. Mike says:

    How is this fail? It did, in fact, BURN OUT.

  37. Mel Champagne says:

    HAHA sa vient d’icite!! XD ta jusse a les ecoutez parler pi tu lsais tout d’suite ke c’est des Québecois!! XD tro fail mais vrm dommage pour le gars :S mais : FIERE D’ÊTRE QUÉBECOIS! —-> PROUD TO BE QUÉBECKER!*

    • Échec says:

      +1

      C’est pas ché nous, mais dans mon village en abitibi on fait ce genre de truc.
      En fait on prend un vieux criss de char, on le met sur le neutre pi on met une brique sur le gaz. Après on prend des pools sur combien de minute il va prendre pour exploser. Pi après ya des courses d’accélération, mais dans 2 pieds de bouette, les char avance prsque pas, mais ca garocche a 50 pieds din air

    • TheOneWhoStoleYourChick says:

      YAY Chu pas le seul a avoir remarqué! =D

  38. Need4Speed1010 says:

    I mean, that was pretty expected. If he would’ve kept on going, the smoke would’ve turned into a cloud and it would start raining on his pimpin’ minivan

  39. pieman says:

    they tried to reach 88 mph with the handbrake on

  40. Jimmy says:

    Asti que ca prend du monde innocent pour faire ce genre niaiserie. apres ca vous vous penser bon?

  41. Cannibal says:

    This is a perfect win. It’s called a burnout, it burned out. WIN.

  42. Matt says:

    Stupid ricers

  43. Mark M. says:

    VTEC just kicked in, yo.

  44. patton303 says:

    Why worry? Mexican kids are well versed in fire safety and prevention.

  45. Mart says:

    I think the guy’s saying “Tassez-vous!”, French for move aside.

  46. Orochi says:

    Civics are like the Car by excellence for Ricers. Most of the time, it’s a chav, civic thug etc that I see driving an old Civic. That I don’t get. What happen to Nissan or Toyota? I guess the older Civics Pony Power is just enough for the Money.

  47. n00b12 says:

    huh…and the mythbusters couldn’t even light a tire on fire by doing that…

  48. Lotus says:

    this is quite sad actually. moron messin up that car like that. usually that is why people get their drivers licenses at the dmv and not out of the cracker jack box… hondas are cars, cars are expensive.. treat them with some respect..

  49. first says:

    FIRST!!

  50. Lupus says:

    Didn’t the mythbusters prove that the friction caused by the tires was canceled out by the wind the moving tire made and that that would be impossible? And that the rubber shavings would only ignite after they started smoldering for a bit?

  51. Muh! says:

    BurnWIN

  52. Ari Gold says:

    this is a burn win!

  53. mark says:

    HA HA HA hope it burned up.

  54. Kenan says:

    VTEC just kicked in yo!

  55. pete says:

    what a rice burner

  56. sciencequeen says:

    Yeah you better get the hell out lol

  57. Mashleey says:

    The polar bears can thank that guy when their homes melt away D:

  58. Crashguard303 says:

    Why fail?
    This is a real burn-out :)

  59. WatchinYaD0D says:

    That’s an EPIC WIN.. so much burn out that the rubber lit on fire.. Stupid Failblog retards.. again no idea what’s going on…

  60. Hondaforgirls says:

    From new tires to 3/4 worn in 20 seconds. 8 cylinders. A cam, crank pistons etc. Those 400 hp burnouts can spin the rim inside the tire. 600hp plus and you better stop the burnout in 10 seconds or less. Honda burnouts seem pointless. I suspect a fuel line failed, after delivering fuel at 6000 rpm for almost half a minute. And sprayed down the exhaust and rubber pile.

  61. SalPotra says:

    too bad he wasn’t driving in the crowd

  62. John says:

    i say after the fire starts release the chain and floor it! epic flaming car go!
