If I remember correctly, there was a thread on here where a forum member blew his SC motor and mentioned something about "over-reving", after sending his ECU data to another member on the boards that person was able to find out when that "over-reving" took place. Maybe it didn't say the exact date but it could have been the milage.
Anyway what I'm trying to say is, if you are 100% positive you never did a burn out then I'm pretty sure you can ask for a print out from your dealer to show when the redlining occurred. If it happened before you owned the car I think that could help you.
Also I just can't see how you could redline in the rain at 20km/h without doing something silly, maybe drifting? Donuts? Power sliding? Or just flooring it first gear with TC off? Maybe I'm retarded and not fully understanding what you were trying to say but I just can't see how you would redline at that speed with out breaking traction, especially in the rain.
Hopefully someone who is more knowledgeable ont his stuff can chime in.
