I also got a Supercheapauto fire extinguisher but after some reading and founding out how unreliable they are, i went back to return it and going to buy a BFI Extinguisher.

Cheers Ray!

How much was the BFI one?

I just got a cheap one coz I'll need one for DECA. It is usually $30 but on special for $20 lol.

doodz, put your cheap one in the bin, or give it to your mum to put in the kitchen. what you want is the BFI 1kg extinguisher. It costs $50-$60 and by far out performs any of the cheap ones. Plus I would venture a guess that the $20 you bought has a plastic bracket? If so it is unnaceptable for any CAMS event that requires an extinguisher. Also, you will find most likely it cannot be recharged.

orly?

Yea like that RX7 at EC on that track day.. oh man FIREE!! 2secs later zoom it's all on fire!

hmmmmz Maybe I can return it to supercheap.. hmmmz... or maybe just try it out LOL $20 for thrills :)

Where can you get this BFI one? And which one? Their site has heaps of different ones! :(

BFI Dry Chemical Powder (ABE) Extinguishers

Fireman Dry Chemical Powder (ABE) Extinguishers

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Extinguishers

Air Water, Air Foam & Wet Chemical Extinguishers

Burnstop Multi-Purpose Extinguishers

Mobile Fire Extinguishers

Mr Fireman Home Protection Package

Marine Fire Extinguishers

Beer Baron: Do you know anyone that has used the CHUBB Fire Extinguishers? they sell them at REPCO for around $30 i think.

Otherwise: i wouldn't mind being in a group buy for BFI fire extinguishers 1kg i've seen them for around $45-$55 delivered off the net.

Brendan if your car is on fire from the rear end(boot area) how do you think you will access the fire extinguisher? Most of the hardcore guys are mounting them under the driver/passenger seat so pretty much under your legs you have to be able to reach it from the drivers side( cams requirement i thinks)

well for cams events it must be able to be reached by the driver WITH seatbelt or harness on. so either under drivers seat, or passenger seat, or somewhere around the centre console is pretty much the only place.

I haven't used the chubb ones but they have a pretty good rep.

the BFI ones are good. I've used them and I've used some other lame-o ones (can't remember brand) and they were rubbish.

doodz, the one you want is BFI Dry Chemical Powder (ABE) Extinguishers.

This is it: http://www.firstaidsales.com.au/component/...emart/Itemid,1/

compare it's rating to the one you have. the BFI 1kg one is 1A,20B:E and again you must have an all metal bracket (the BFI one comes with it).

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
