Wow. Good thing you had fire extinguisher in the car. Would of been very bad if you ended up having to wait for help to come... You know not a bad idea to have a small fire extinguisher in the trunk.

Good thing you're safe.
I saw this happen once and it was an awful sight. I was driving on 405N and there was a huge traffic jam when there shouldn't have been one. When I finally got to where I could see traffic start to flow, I saw why there was a jam in the first place. A black Evo 8 was on the side of the highway with burn marks all over the front part of the car. There was a fire truck that put out the fire but I didn't see the owner of the car. I just hope they made it out ok.

That sucks man. At least its not common practice, like in the world of VWs. I would read about GTis catching on fire at least once a week.
Good luck with Mitsu on this one.

When will you guys get it? Just because you have mods doesnt mean you have NO warranty on anything for your car. They just have to be able to prove in court that the part/s you have had caused the failed part/s. If there is no evidence and or proof then they have no case. They will be forced to fix the vehicle. None of his parts would or could have caused a fire... Unless he had modified or altered any wiring.
