Infini IV fans... check out what I just got

As many Infini IV fans may or may not already know, the Infini IV comes with a flare under the dash on the passengers side.

So see what just showed up in my Mailbox today:



Genuine JDM Mazda Road flare, in protective holder case w/ FC mounting clip.

Yo,


Like FC's need any MORE flammable things on them!!

When your engine catches on fire I don't think you'll need a flare!!

Singapore.

I can email him and see if he can track me down a couple more if you want one. It cost me $20 USD with shipping.

Hey, I keep a Halon extingisher in all my cars.

Bought half a dozen back when they were legal.

I just have a handheld one I got back in the day. It bounces from Scirocco to RX-7.

It was expensive, but zero cleanup like ABC!

Yo,


Cheers, I've had it for probably...good Lawd...like 5-6 years? It's a:

General Model GH-2 1/2 J Halon 1211 Extinguisher

15lbs jobber. Looking at it after 6 years...arrow is pointing right in the middle of the green. I had an extinguisher guy weigh it awhile back and he said it was perfect.

No worries! What's cool about Halon is you can fire it though your front radiator opening without popping the hood and it'll snuff the fire using it's magical Halon powers.

Those flares are very common in Japan. If you come to NZ and visit a vehicle importer he'll probably be able to give you boxes of them. They're illegal to carry in a car over here so any that are still in the car are removed before sale.

My '84 Cosmo still had the little factory bracket to hold one.

LOL this is awesome.. Mazda had some strange options...

You know what really sucks.. from what I have been reading there is no replacement for halon avalible yet and nothing in the near future looks promising.. so the price is INSANE now.. The article I read said airplanes are mandated that they must carry halon only so the airlines buy up all that **** and drive the price straight up!

For emergency use, to warn other drivers if you were stranded in a dangerous position.

These were offered by just about all Japanese manufacturers.
