The fire risk is POTENTIAL, I've never seen or heard of one actually catching fire...

I had a Phoenix where the heat from the silencer had charred all the way through, so that all that was left was a patch of fibres of bare chopped strand mat, but it still didn't catch fire.

Fire-retardant polyester resin basically just isn't very flammable!

Great thread and some bonny machines too!

300ftlb in a Sylva hahaha thats AWESOME..And mad at the same time.

Actually it was a Fury, driven by JP, full chat from the Lincolnshire wolds down to Manby aĺl those years ago that got me hooked!

I know that road to manby, it's a joy. Sweeping fast bends with good viz and no cameras. I've enjoyed it many times, once in a caterham 7 that I'm sure was very similar to a fury.
