my yellow 03 evo caught on fire this morning. i won't discuss details until the ins co decides if they are going to cover it. i will try to get pics of the aftermath b4 it gets towed.

 

Sorry to hear that. Hope it wasn't arson.

 

holy crap man im sorry to hear that. i would die if that ever happened to me. let us know what happened and what insurance plans to do. i dont know if i can stand to see a burnt up evo but curiosity killed the cat so post some pics. sorry.

 

atleast it wasn't the 05.....

 

damn, that really sucks.. are the mods destroyed?

 

hmm... won't discuss... i'm guessing it was mod related!

let the theories begin!

oh, and that sucks man. sucks bigtime. hopefully they'll cover it, cuz if they don't... DAMN.

 

i'll shed a bucket of tears for you.

 

most everything plastic is melted including 1/2 the battery, top of radiator, filter, fuse box, wiper nozzle, vacuum hoses, filter suction pipe. bov may be damaged, wiring to fuel injectors melted, spark plug cover gone, hood partially destroyed (may be salvagable).

i will say this, those Perrin silicon hoses held up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i had 2 foot high flames coming out the hood vent & the hoses never went!!! there isn't even coolant leaking. i highly recommend silicon hoses on ALL cars. they have a breakdown temp of about 338F.

 

upper i/c pipe damage also. car has to be towed so i will run home after work, grab the digicam & get the pics in about 2 hours.

 

is not mod related & was not arson.

 

hints please,i doubt it could be anything mod related-cuz your mods aint that crazy,come on man hints atleast

 

the hint is rain protection...

 

well at least you have an 05 you can still drive

 

in wana c some pics

Sorry to hear what happened...glad to see nobody got hurt. Hope your insurance covers the damage!

So the hint is "rain protection", well that isn't an easy one...Hmmm...did you put rainX or something of that nature on and it somehow caused a fire in your engine bay? (it doesn't make sense to me either)

FOR GOD SAKES! Spread the word before this happens to someone else!
