thats what happens when you overfill with v-tec, thats why they brought out v-tec gauges so you know how much you have to stop this from happening.

Yer common problem, the vtec solenoid stays closed and the engine cannot handle vtec at idle (Too much power) so it spontaneously ignites.

What a poorly written article lol:

A Kew man suspects electrical problems in his brand new car caused it to burst into flames and badly damage his home.

'Simon' bought a 2005 Honda Odyssey and less than three years later, it caught fire.

I hate Hondas...all shitboxes when it comes to performance...maybe except for the NSX-R.

Point taken - but it's not actually stock as a intended from the factory is it...the engine isn't stock either.

With the funds, you can make any car fast...
