Hi guys,

I posted this a while ago and it was deleted for some reason before I ever got a reply. I really could use some help!

Some of the clubs that I do driving schools with (like the Porsche Club of America) require a 2.5 lbs fire extinguisher to be mounted metal-to-metal within reach of the driver. I really don't want to drill holes into my floorpan or tranny tunnel.

Does anyone make an underseat mount for the Evo? These are popular with the Porsche and M3 crowd since they're technically metal-to-metal. It's basically just a bracket that attaches to the seat mounts on the floor and holds a slim extinguisher just below the seat-bottom.

Any leads?

Maybe you can get Brey-Krause to build one for the Evo?

 

I e-mailed Brey-Krause about this and they said they didn't have anything yet, but they might put a kit together if there's enough interest. So far it looks like there isn't

i need one too..
whenever we have drags here they require us to have an extinguisher on-board.

 

Considering how many people track/drag their Evos and how much aftermarket support there is for this car, I'm surprised something like this isn't available yet. Last time I posted this question I got flamed by all these ******* who told me to mount the extinguisher under my neon kit or whatever I guess there are fewer track junkies around here than I thought.

 

u need a mounted fire extinguisher for AutoX too. Im definetly interested in if one will come out for the evo.

 

I would also be up for this.

 

i mount mine under my brake pedal in all seriousness the tracks around here (road courses) that I know of don't require it. Are you sure porsche club requires one? I have a friend who runs with them often and he doesn't have one... I hope its not required, then its just more money to be spent evo+track= wallet

 

we have the ****tiest laws in my country...
everyone breaks the speed limit daily and gets away with it.
but suprising for off road racing...they insist that you have an extinguisher as well as a helmet.it's a must!

 

It's not the track that requires them. Most tracks only mandate a helmet. It's up to the individual club hosting the event to decide what safety equipment they require. For example, some clubs mandate that no convertibles are allowed without roll cages. Others allow stock Boxters to run.

As for the PCA, there's no general rule. Maybe your friend's chapter doesn't require one. The PCA chapters around here (Rennsport and NER) both require 2.5 lbs extinguishers mounted metal-to-metal within reach of the driver.
