Carl 3 Report post Posted September 8, 2004 Hey guys, I have organised a deal for extinguishers from a business in Palmy. They supply fire extinguishers for your car to suit motorsport specification size/weight and with the dual metal brakets required for motorsport. The benefits of having a f/x in the car are: Extinguish nasty fires Insurance discount (some companies offer 5%) Smashing windows if you or someone else is trapped Makes the car look tits They're offering a deal for BS and BMWCC people whereby you can get a 1.1kg f/x with the metal twin bracket necessary for Intermarque for $49. That's a similar price to ones from supercheap I believe except supercheap quality may be dubious and these extinguishers are certified. The extinguishers are refillable and Firewise do certified fills and pressure testing. The extinguishers can mount sideways and fit perfectly under the stock seats. I have one in mine and the seat can freely slide over the top of it yet I can easily access it. Flash them the BMWCC card of just say Carl told you about it. Firewise 153 walkers road (out near rongotea road, home business) (06) 3540715 firewise@xtra.co.nz This outfit has a contract for Manfeild auto course so they're the real deal.

Carl 3 Report post Posted September 10, 2004 The price is $49 for 1kg f/ex with the twin metal brakets. This is the size that you MUST have to enter the motorsport Intermarque sprints and it has the twin metal brakets which you must ALSO have to enter motorsport. Fits so snuggly under the seats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petone 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2004 How big do they have to be for racing, eg intermarque? I may already have one but i'm not sure if its big enough. If it is too small i'll get one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Napier_E36 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 I want one too - it'l just be a while before I have my car ready to do it! I am pretty sure that you only need a 1kg one for using your car on the track - thats all you need to compete in the drifting (D1NZ)... Its all you need to get onto manfield now - oh and cotton overalls and a helmet and a membership with a NZ car club (BMWCC is fine) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Napier_E36 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2004 r they refillable? im sure they would be - most are. If not, its cheap enough to buy a new one ($50 is a cheap insurance when it comes to a car burning - they burn bloody fast!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmwsparkle 3 Report post Posted October 8, 2004 just go out and see them matt, they are at 153 walkers road, out near rongotea road, they are always there as the business runs from their home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 34 Report post Posted October 13, 2004 Don't forget to tell your insurance company - mine gives a 5% discount if I have a fire extinguisher installed. Also, I am in the process of negotiating with a workmate in the local fire brigade. he reckons he can get me one at the fire brigade price of about $20 odd. I will find out the details and let you know if they can supply to bimmersport aswell for those of us further north. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
