Buy a fire extinguisher!

For a mere $50-60 it's cheap insurance! Dont let this happen to you...





















This happend about 2km from my Dads place... Really sh!tty, the guy only bought the car 2 weeks prior.

Check your fuel lines ffs!

 

That effing sucks

 

WHY !!! WHY DID THE VEISIDE STYLE REAR WING SURVIVE !!!! [TIS]

On a more serious note, what size should you get, those ones about the size of 2 coke cans (i think about 1kg) always make me think I would only get half the fire out.

Do you think 4.5Kg is too big (480mm x 145mm), I guess the question is where do you mount it, I know paint it blue and mount it NOS style in the rear hatch.

Heartbreaking.

I have a fire extinguisher behind the passenger seat.

Also, CHECK YOUR FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, Imagine if it didn't work when you needed it to.

Poor poor zed.

 

It really depends on how soon you get onto if it goes up. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind days before this happend just one wiff under the hood and you would've be able to smell fuel strong as fuk for it to go up like this.

Supercheap has the medium sized ones. A good spot would be in the foot well on the passenger side up under near the glove box, so it's easy to reach. Otherwise in the back hatch area or like GarlicSteaks behind the seat, just so long as you can reach it if you need to.

And just an FYI make sure your insurance coverage includes fire damage.

 

Man this.... is preventative maintenance. I've told a few people about changing old fuel lines and clamps ect but no one listens.

 

We have one in both of ours... :zlove:
That is sooo sad to see, was it a member?

 

I don't mind this mounting position.

 

dibs on 2k spec tails

 

Not that I am aware of... I dont know the owner personally either, but from what I have been told it was a very recent purchase.

 

I've also got a small medical kit in the car aswell, you never know what you might run into .

 

I keep everything in my Zed lol... Extinguisher, med kit, paracetamol, socket wrench kit, assortment of tools, pocket knife, emergency glowstick, lighter, corkscrew, tissue box, and even a netbook.

I'm all prepared, bring it on!

 

Second in line if anti falls through. They look like the very rare "smoked" 2k lenses.

 

A 20 year old sports car doesn't need a fire extinguisher, it needs maintenance. Or at least stop when you smell fuel and have a look see.

 

Or both like me. One fire was enough.

 

Man he should have driven faster to put out the fire!

 

no seriously! if those tails are genuine and undamaged, I actually do want to buy them!

 

Thats just horrible.... lol.

MoulaZX

 

In all seriousness I think they are 2k conversions... I don't see any pinstripes and they appear to have non-chromed housings

 

I thought as much
