Default Electrical Fire :-( Car Totaled

Hello everyone,

Yesterday my car caught on fire on the passanger side of the engine the police said it was not arson because all the doors were locked and all window were up. This was my first SC and I loved my car guess i need to start looking for another!! lol....it has the 2jz that is still in tact so will be looking to part out the car....oh and the interior has NO water damage thank god!!

If anyone knows what could have caused this please let me know your thoughts and i will have up pictures of the engine tonight after i get up the hood....

RIP to my car!!!!

that was some fire man, lets see pics of the engine bay, there is no way the engine or anything on the engine is salvagable.

they didnt need to spray in the inside of the car because they got there in time i guess they busted the windows for ****s and giggles(to get the smoke out from what they told me)....and im hoping the engine is still salvageable...HOPING!! lol

Actually breaking the windows, if the doors are locked, are standard procedure during a car fire.

There is really no way your engine is going to be salvageable man. Sorry about your loss.
