You won't be saying that the day your drinks spontaneously burst into flames.

Good thinking OP. Would work great for track days. Or a cheater nitrous bottle.

Touge Factory · 10-02-2012, 04:49 PM

Wow that is awesome, I would have never expected to literally be a "Perfect fit". Good job!

Thanks,

lol...

i guess that thing will only work when the car is already on fire...

and the fire will cause that thing to Blow...which will put out the fire of the already blown car.

it's like putting a bomb right next to you.

Here's a couple more pics showing the plate with the bracket attached and showing the unit assembled.
Ignore the slots on the side of the bracket. This was scrap material I had laying around. In this case, it's part of a 3U panel blank for a computer rack.

I'd like to think the spot was designed for NOS.

RAWR BRZ · 10-04-2012, 02:51 AM

You know these things have a quickrelease clip, right? And that the brackets are made of high tensile but flexible metal?

.. also to the guy who says "it's like putting a bomb next to you", seriously, by the time this goes bang you're reeeeeally dead. Like very, very dead.

While any fire extinguisher is better than none.
I have some experience with car fires.

a 1KG fire extinguisher will be out of juice before you even get started.
get a 2KG with a nozzle as you will be able to poke the nozzle to where the fire is (you dont want to pop the hood to get at a fire as the hood will be too hot to touch and the latch too hot to operate, and it takes too long.

get one like this

and aim the nozzle up to the engine bay from underneath the car. much better plan. might save your motor.

FYI - Fire Extinguishers do not go bang and they don't blow up like a bomb. Every new extinguisher has a plastic release valve so in a fire the plastic release valve will melt and release the charge in a controlled manner.
