I don't think you meet him . He did have the Red but not when you were here must have been another one . Also on all the Evo X's the battery comes in the trunk from the dealership and the car had no additional wiring from anything after market like a system Ect .

^Evo X batteries are stock in the trunk. Sorry for your loss, and glad that you're okay! Hmmm... you might be the first victim of an actual fire starting from this issue:
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...t-burning.html


Coles notes: some say it's a battery "tube" that gets heated up by the exhaust. Burning has happened to both dual and single out exhausts, but its a known fact that single runs hotter and might have a slighty higher probability of starting a fire. To date, they're all just theories and an official cause has yet to be found~ Were you running a single?

Was thinking the same thing.

Why can't you say what started it? Don't know or insurance telling you not to?

Good thing there wasn't a kid in the back seat.

Was reading that topic and it looks in the same area in which it happened to him also .

This also happened a couple hours ago and have not seen the car since it happened to take a closer look .

How the fuc# am i suppose to know stock they come in the trunk. News to me!! then again i dont have evo X nor are they even common where im at. Just a rare car around here. the only time i got to ride in one was when i was there and battery was of no concern then. Are you sure i did not meet him. Pabo or something like that. A white evo X showed up he had just put i think a exedy twin in his car because he let the guy with the silver evo X drive it to see what it felt like

silver evo X

This same night right here. The white evo is in the background somewhere but hey its antonio
