Did you have a stereo setup in the trunk? If you did...was it fused properly at the battery?

It really sucks to see such a sweet car ruined. I hope your insurance takes care of you with all of the aftermarket stuff on it.

I guess this could be considered a wake up call for some of the other users on this site that a $10 fuse holder and a $1 fuse 12" from the battery is worth it. I know a lot of people don't fuse properly.

I updated my cardomain site with the only picture of my once Turbo RSX.

If it's not too much to ask for, can you please vote for my car. I would like to bring it up to the first page for RSX on cardomain.


It will be missed
