looking at element style fire extinguisher.
can't get element brand in aus, but can get similar or identical product called FIRE STRYKER. (can't ship element to aus from usual usa suspects - dangerous chemical etc under aviation laws). you guys have any views. think they have been floating around in USA longer than down here where the product has been around maybe for only the last year or so. any good? i'm thinking, despite the cost, having two of these might just be a very effective way to deal with engine bay outbursts. (crossing myself, hail holy mother, touching wood, etc). + looks like they will fit in the door bin without fuss of mounting the extinguisher. |

We recently started carrying the Element because I see a huge benefit for track day people, but also for owners of older cars that could easily have a small issue and don't want to carry around big bulky fire extinguishers.
On the track, I've seen way too many grass fires started when hot oil or brakes come in contact with dry grass. Whether you have a full race car with a full fire suppression system, or just a trackday car...grass fires can burn up your car very quickly...sadly I've seen it happen. I always used to run a full fire suppression AND a small fire bottle in Papa Smurf. Element is a great substitute for the fire bottle. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions on them. https://naroescapemotorsports.com/product/e...0-extinguisher/ |
