I'm looking for a small fire extinguisher for mount behind the front seats on the cross bar support. Remember seeing one a while back in a pic someone posted up but cant find it now..

I saw it when it was posted a while back. I think valpozguy had a previous experience with some fire.

well the brackets are $4, and the extinguisher is around $40, go to the nearest store with fishing supplies it's just a boat extinguisher.

Maybe I should hang some fishing lures up as well.

You should get an AFFF fire system with nozzles in the passenger compartment and the engine bay, e.g. E.S.S. 2.3 Liter AFFF SFI Fire System - SafeRacer . Way easier to grab a pull-cable on the dash if the car's on fire than try to wrestle with a manual extinguisher mounted behind you. If it's still a street car, running the lines unobtrusively (hide them behind the plastics?) is a little challenging, but it would be way worth it if you ever did have an engine fire.

Yeah just remember not to breathe in the halon or you will die, every street car should have one.

Edit: Wait cosmo you should get one.

AFFF systems aren't Halon. It's a foam with a powder in it, designed for putting out fuel fires. I'd much rather be covered in foam than stuck in a burning car.

I'm not kidding they are boat extinguishers, fire departments regulate cylinder size and type so if you get one that is refillable they are all the EXACT same thing. or you can get a fancy one this is from livorsi marine

or one of these but they are bitch to work with gloves on

COSMO · 05-30-2014, 03:22 PM

That's actually pretty nice. Need to measure the diameter of the cross bar..

jwick · 05-30-2014, 04:33 PM

For the IS I bought one from safedrives.com but it appears the one I bought is not currently available

COSMO · 05-30-2014, 04:49 PM

How is the car coming along jwick??

jwick · 05-30-2014, 04:53 PM

If you are referring to the G

Currently in pieces again chasing a damn oil leak. Really hate AN swivel fittings.

Other than the oil leak its great. Runs good, makes a ton of power and sounds good. Got Mr. Gales pillar install last weekend. Waiting on my upgraded exhaust since my stillen turned out to be a bottleneck.

If you are referring to the Lexus, haven't touch it since last year. G took over priority. Maybe it'll be on the track for 2015
