Fire System Group Buy
 

OK, so NOPI is requiring these this season. The cheapest I found was $349 @ SafeRacer, but Firecharger www.firecharger.com has systems for $199. As always, they might give us a break if we have a big order. Would anyone be interested? It's a 5lb(2.3L) 2 nozzle system.

Nopi how fast would we have to go to need these 10's?

As if the pink car going sideways in his sig doesn't give it off....;)

this is an interesting system, i'd be amazed that one little CO2 bulb could do an effective job at suppressing a fire. any idea if this meets the standards for any sanctioning bodies, or what it does to the harnesses/aluminum/plastic it hits? one of the advantages of Halon and its clones is the lack of collateral damage.

This is the $349 one at SafeRacer. The C02 cartridge looks the same as the FireCharger one to me.

Here's an install article from Grassroots

I'd like one as well. Not required, but when it comes to safety equipment I usually try to aim higher than the requirement.

I am getting a fire system for the time attack car shortly as well.

however, I am getting Halon. The other stuff ruins anything it touches, and I don't want to have to rewire if some dummy accidentally sets off the system.

How many sources are there for Halon now?

None and it still costs a shit laod of money. Becouse they can't make it anymore damn CFC regs :vash: halon is some valitile shit guys, and if you put it in a street car you would be violating some major epa shit. I think you still need a license to even handle/install the shit.

I wonder how much my full halon bottle is worth (5 Lb), I still have a system that I have never used with a full bottle.

Thanks!

Well if R12 is any indication that shit sells for 50-60$ a lbs. You could probably find a firesafe company to buy it for sure.

Put me down as a maybe @ $172 and a definitely @ $140.

If I bite or not at $172 is dependent on how much other crap I have to unexpectedly spend money on around the time of sending money in for this.

I have a friend who may also want in on it @ $140 for his MR-2, I'll get back to you.

OK, more group buy info. I contacted FireCharger again, they are willing to do a buy on the 10lb (4.6L) 3 nozzle system as well


10-20 Units: $233

20-plus Units: $195

Same Shipping Price

also 2.3L system?

10lb (4.6L)

just looked it up... I'll probably stick with the smaller system for size reasons. I have no idea where I'll mount it since I use my trunk and my soft top. I might see if I can make it fit above the passenger's foot well somewhere.

I am in at 140

OK, another Fire Charger update. They will honor the group buy price for either system! 2 $140 or 3 nozzle $195, it doesn't matter! I have about 18 tentative people, and I'll post a list tonight. I plan on closing this group buy on Feb 15th.

Thanks!

Going to contact my friend and see if he wants in. I'll let you know tonight.

Mark Mlow down as a maybe. He's got some equipment he needs to sell before he makes the final decision. But he's very interested. If he's got the cash he'll buy in.

Arkmage, I need your email address and real name, and your buddy's too. You too loki047.

Thanks!

:inout:

There shouldn't be any sense they stopped producing new Fire suppression systems somewhere in the late 80's early 90's and started using FM-200 and other alternatives.

http://www.reliablefire.com/halon/halon.html

I know chlorine gas is corrosive, but unless I'm mistaken, CO2 is safe. If I'm wrong about that though, better not open any sodas or exhale in your car. :eek:

the job of the suppression system is to put the fire out, aka save you from injury or death. if there's a fire, who gives a rat's a about what happens to some plastic trim.

I'm guessing they are worried about accidental deploy but yeah i totally agree..

I’ve used FM-200 for about 5 systems they were all seal systems which requires much less per cubic feet (think Data Center application). I'm not certain how it works on something like an engine bay. It is non-toxic non-corrosive.

Buddy is out... his other deal fell through so he's going to be broke. PM'ing you my info.

I'm down for one for sure, just need to decide between 2 or 3 nozzle system.

Name and email address please.

Tenatively in for a 3-nozzle system. If I decide to commit I will PM name and email.

Thanks!
