Exclamation Fire Extingusher Mount locations?

I'm thinking of putting one near the passenger cargo net area...but my passengers alreayd have a hard time getting into the S2k....so not sure. Putting one in the trunk isnt accesible and quick enough. I've seen one person put it in front of the windvisor? Anyone have a pic of where they mpounted it? there have been threads on this but not many pictures.

Sure you can let your car burn, but how about all the valuable paperwork and documents you have in your s2k, having somethign to help temporarily could give ya extra time.

Thanks!

You do realise we drive Japanese cars, not British cars, right? Have you had problems with cars burning in the past? I can't see why you even need a fire extinguisher, but why not just buy a small bottle and mount it in front of the passenger seat behind the crossmember that sticks up?

And for the record, I don't keep any valuable documents in my car.

If you're THAT worried about catching your car on fire, quit smoking while driving drunk, or move to Seattle.

How many times have you seen cars pulled ot the side of the road overheating espcially if your modded alot + lots of wiring to different mods etc.

FYI: I belive there are some european models whic have to be sold with them.

If someone has pictures? thanks

I have never seen a S catch on fire.


Even if your S overheats I hope to god you don't spray a fire extinguisher on it

I don't think I would want my passenger ramming their head into in conjunction with the airbag.
