Very Confused Evo Caught On Fire!
Hope you find out what the cause was.
Theres no way! Evo's will always own STI's
Heres some more close up pics hopefully this helps.
If you look at the first pic, since those wires were so close to the exhaust manifold, I believe thats what may have cause the fire. But I'm not sure. I just want some other peoples thoughts on what they think.

Check the wiring on all of the aftermarket parts. It looks like you have an MW spark box. Check that. It's a great product but could have been installed wrong. Any factory fault would be fuse protected so this is likely to be something else.
I find it highly unlikely looking at these pictures that the source of the fire was caused by the electrical system. Note that none of the visible wires have burned through their insulation. Secondly if if it was a short the wire would have cooked evenly across the entire section melting off the insulator and started smoking badly then catch fire.
This fire looks to be fueled by something like an oil line maybe hooked to the turbo? Just a guess at this point would have been nice to see the car in person after the initial aftermath.

Well the car was about to get washed, my guess is that they had it outside idling and was grabbing some car wash supplies from inside and when they came outside they saw fire so they put it out immediately.
Yea I mean its good that nobody is hurt, its good that the car is not completely destroyed, I know this sucks. But does anybody else have any ideas as to how this may have happened!?!?!
