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).

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
