Re: Whats gonna happen?
The owner was a really cool guy. I met up with him in Florida for a few nights and he was a really nice guy. He was a certified honda tech and now he is with toyota as a service manager. He was in just as much of a panic as i was when i told him about it. Were hoping to hear something from insurance today about whats gonna happen so i'm getting really anxious.

Re: Whats gonna happen?
Whats up guys. So i've always had a dream of owning a turbod s2000, and last week I thought it was about to come true. I sold my CBR600rr and my lsvtec del sol, and I found a beautiful s2000 turbo in West Palm Beach. So I flew down there last Tuesday to check it out. It was a 2000 silver 50,000 miles on the car 6,000 on the sleeved and ported motor and put down 501whp at 15psi. To say the least it was bad ass!
So I bought the car on Friday and started driving it back to va. I was just going to drive in 6 hr increments and stop in between because i was with my girlfriend too and she wanted to have a chill drive. So we get 5 hrs into the trip and the most unexpected/worst situation happened to us. All of my gauges read fine so I thought everything was fine. All of a sudden a fireball kicked out of the vents cut on the hood! So i pulled the car over as fast as possible and got the hell out and as far away as i could, because at this time there was a constant flame shooting out of my hood. The fire department said that the fuse box melted causing the fire.
Do you guys think insurance is going to try dick me or will they settle fairly?
my mind wont settle with the thought that i might of just lost 13 grand, has anyone had any experience with insurance and car fires?

[/IMG]if they cover it, youre gonna be out 3grand..i think that year s2k is only worth 10.. if the claim came thru me, i would deny it. im sure the fuse box had something to do with the turbo. so you would be shit of luck, then again imma dick head in the claims world

I'm not trying to be a dick but I would go after the guy that you bought the car from, if the insurance will cover the full value of the car.

Re: Whats gonna happen?
You may not cover the value of the mods in the event of a theft (assuming they're not endorsed on the policy), but that has no bearing on whether or not you'd cover the car.
Plus, in the state of Virginia you have to pay out for mods even when not endorsed on the policy. I can go into more depth but don't feel like typing it out.

You'd have no grounds to deny it... whether or not the turbo caugt fire of the mods caused the fire is irrelevant.
