Hello Paddock readers,
I'm getting ready to order a fire system for our car and I thought this might be a good time to see if there are any opinions on which system to go with. I think that I've decided to go with the newer AFFF style system and the only real stipulation is that it be 2.25 liters in capacity or above. FourBlades has an OMP system for his IMSA car. I think it's this one : https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productde....asp?RecID=5624 There is also this style, recommended by Chumpcar: http://www.vro.com/ess-23l-afff-fire-supre...stem-p-362.html And finally, the SPA 4 liter system which also seems to be a bit cheaper than the others: https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productse...sp?Product=2426 Any major difference between these? Is the mechanical actuator or the electrical solenoid more preferred? |

Just bought a SPA 4L FIA-rated system. It is *purty*. I'll post pics of the system and the install when I get it in the car... hopefully soon.

The standard brackets that came with mine were attached via a weak plastic base and I heard tales of bottles flying loose. I had the mount redone. |
