I always kept a fire extinguisher in my Nova, necessity IMO

A lot of people keep them in the boot which seems pretty pointless

[Andy]

I am all for fire exes.Anyone with owt old should have one,as i said in me project thread,even if the car's totalled,save yaself!!

[mk1nova_rich]

Agree with Andy, even if its just to hold the fire back so you can get everyone out safely

[General Baxter]

fire rats ftw,

you all know what happened to me, t45's in my cav,

it back fired and ignited the fuel vapor in the carbs, that was a good day

[Mazz]

So any pics pre-fire then?

[Spudly]

Flamebeaters are a bit toytown due to their small size; you can get one for about £13 that's twice the capacity. It looks better proportioned too.

I've had under bonnet fires before due to brake / clutch fluid touching the exhaust, no matter how well you build something or maintain it believe me when I say anything can happen.

Agreed, which is why im going to order another one at least for the nova and one for the astra tomorrow at work. and i totally agree, it doesnt matter how much was spent on the build, be it time, preperation or money, anything can and quite often does happen, and as Andy said, even if the car is a total loss, it could come in handy to assist you to get yourself and your passengers out and keep them safe, you might even find youre pointing your fire extinguisher at people and not cars!

seems no one has pics then, was a long shot i guess

I'm pretty sure I've got some pics, I'll dig them out later tonight and upload them.

Ive got pics from "back in the day" but they'll be buried within my old pc somewhere

I remember the day that went up. Scary stuff even just seeing the pics, it melted a hole straight through the gearbox like it was made from plastic.

[Riggy]

I've got a load on my pc , even got some of it when it was still a 1.4

I'm in Crete till wed morning though so I'll upload them when I get back

You can get a good one for about £13 from the camping section of Halfrauds

Perfect place to put it too:-
