***FIRE EXINGUISHERS - PLZ READ***

Retail $99 EC discount minus =+

 

oh fock dat i am getting this one then, i like this over red and chrome. hoOk iT uP!

 

T-man, I'm still trying to figure out if you are serious. If so, do you have a smaller one? Actually, how tall is this one?

 

he is for real. i dont think this one is that big. i was gonna get this from him for the 355 before, and for some odd reason i thought it was $500, so i didnot pursue.

 

I carry marshmallows in my TR. That way, if it catches fire, I can have a snack!! Then I collect a big fat check from Progressive insurance!!

 

ill get whichever one the group is going to get. thonda's one is much less bling than that chrome one (dont want tooo bling)

 

Isn't Emil Pimping? Just specify her hair color

 

Not to throw water on your fire but my understanding is the ABC chemical extinguishers can damage any aluminum parts of the engine. Haltron (sp?) is the recommended gas. Found mine with Froogle. 2.5lbs Halatron $87. peeled off the "how to" sticker & stuck on a Ferrari shield on the red cylinder (chrome available too) and it sits behind the passenger seat until I can find someone to make me an aluminum "Charness Harness" for the 308.

 

No harm Tetsuo.... however it comes down to the contents for me. Your "dry-chem" Sparco is the same as the ones I saw in Walmart for less than $30. I dont doubt youre offering your best deal, but @ anything near $99, youre paying for the Sparco name and the pretty packaging. Bottom line, the dry chem stuff WILL **** up your car enough that you will wish it burnt to a crisp.

Exotic cars should roll Halotron - thats my conclusion. Do your own research. Absolutely no hard feeling if anyone decides to pass.

 

If it's true good info, i don't do this for a living and i don't make money off friends so keep the good info flowing

 

But I certainly do want to thank you for making your offer to fellow FChatters. Helping out each other is what it's about. Thanks.

 

Thanks for the link Bruce... their prices are a good example of what I found for quality cans:

Red 2.5 $134.95
Chrome 2.5 $166.95

So far it looks like I can secure these prices thru the company I contacted, if not tighten them up a little better:

Red 2.5 $79
Chrome 2.5 $105

He said no shipping charge too, but I think I implied shipping all to one location. I will clarify, but at most he said S/H is $5 bux.

 

I am game for two chrome 2.5 pounders. Looks like you are close to the critical mass. Please provide ordering instructions.

At the Bear Mountain run Mike355 showed me his very neat installation of his extinguisher in the front boot. He used existing screws used to hold the inside boot liner. This appproach should work in all F3xx's.

 

yeah whatever u need man let me know www.wheelfanatics.com

 

Halotron doesn't deplete the ozone as much as Halon - a good thing - but you need twice as much Halotron to achieve the same effectiveness as Halon. E.g. a 5B:C halon extinguisher contains 2.5lbs of halon while a 5B:C Halotron extinguisher contains 5lbs. Halon is offers better bang for the buck.

Good news - H3R is offering 10% off for the month of December. They have Amerex chrome models, and they also have reconditioned models for a big discount. Same warranty, but not brand new looking

fWerF... thats what being an EC playa is all about.

 

yo yo so we are back to greg's deal? put me a down for 1 red 2.5 zen!

 

Greg.
Im in for (1) 2.5lb. chrome extinguisher.
Thanks for your time and energy, put into another smart project.

 

Heres the running tally thus far (all 2.5lb size):

Woodear - 1 Red
Hubert - 1 Chrome
Noto - 2 Chrome
Sam G - 1 Red
Geoff - 1 Chrome
Jay - 1 Red
vinnycar - 2 Chrome
Monk - 1 Chrome
Greg - 1 Red

JC360 - ?
Rehan - ?

Still have plenty of time to jump onboard... let me know!

 

Regarding how these things mount... they come with a steel bracket that gets fastened down with screws. I have not seen the actual bracket, but I assume it wld fit behind/between your seats (as Clyde mentioned). Maybe Michael can share his idea as well.

However, for the meticulous people onboard like Rehan (and myself) I think it wld look totally trick to have a local upholstery shop make a fabric sleeve copying the design from the Stradale. Its just a thought... peep the pix:

 

FYI - for comparisons sake, I think the OE Stradale extinguisher is the 5lb size. At least the diameter of the 2.5lb cans wld be thinner, if not slightly shorter.

 

got to try and come up with a way via brackets to mounting under the passenger seat

 

Greg do you know dimensions of all th sizes so i can make sure it will fit in my car?
