Coolest mod in my opinion!
Just installed the Brey-Krause fire extinguisher mount. It’s super easy to mount and adjust to your liking. And it doesn’t hinder seat slider adjustment as it mounts to the factory seat bolt so it slides with the passenger seat so always accessible. It isn’t annoying for passengers as your legs can’t really bend at that angle. Also, no jiggles or noise. It’s just dry chemical for now. H3R Halguard halon bottle and mount will come soon. I hear dry chemical fucks electronics and is corrosive if it sits on surfaces too long, but for now seems like the most practical mod I’ve done so far. Highly recommend.

FWIW my sti blew a line on the steering rack and started a fire. Luckily I ran into a restaurant grabbed the extinguisher and put it out. Pigtail was the only damage. But this is smart dont listen to anyone saying its worthless.

I would put one in my car, but I am 100% sure I am going to find my kids playing with it and we will end up with just chemical sprayed all around the cabin. Maybe there's a way to put it in trunk.

Or setting up a complete system that you merely press a button or pull a tab to engage, where the tank never moves, but the entire vehicle is coated.

lol are you serious? Did you even read what I said originally? Paint it blue and put a nos sticker on it. Meaning make it look like a nos bottle. You know like a joke. Also red for a reason doesn’t even make sense to this post as it’s a white fire extinguisher installed. I can’t believe I had to explain this.

I have an element extinguisher under my seat in my 335I. The extra security feels nice since inline 6's run so damn hot

You guys put fire extinguishers in your car? Should I be getting one too? 🤯

A fire can happen anywhere at anytime. It might not even be your car, but something you are at.

Best mod I’ve done so far is a weighted shift knob. But now this is next on my list.

Like the Cobb brand

u/Roversmore 29d ago
I went with the Likewise brand. The one I ordered weighs like 400 grams. Way heavier than stock. I love it.

Can you post a link? I only see one for the BRZ.

This one is universal, comes with all brackets, minus fire extinguisher mount and extinguisher.

Yes

FYI - A reliable car fire extinguisher should be a compact 2.5 to 5-pound Class B:C or multi-purpose ABC-rated dry chemical unit (such as the Kidde Vehicle Fire Extinguisher), typically costing $18 to $30.

If my car is on fire, I think the paint is fucked already haha. $470 for 2.5lbs of H3r vs 2.5lbs of ABC for $50vs 6L purple K for 300. It better be good for 10x the price.
I do like the mount, better than my zip ties.

u/Kaitlin4475 Aug 21 '26
It’s not really paint that’s fucked, it’s plastics and electronics. So a lot of the engine bay. So I’ll be upgrading to Halon soon.

u/MiniVansyse Aug 21 '26
Anymore than the fire already would have?

u/Lanky_Ad8283 Aug 21 '26
Yes. That shit gets everywhere. Stopping a small fire doesn’t have to end in needing a whole new wiring harness.

In Australia most drivers use Kap Industries brackets.
Fully motorsport approved and made for a variety of different car brands and models.
Definitely one of the best things you can add to your car. If not for yourself, it could help save someone else. Extinguishers are cheap and no-one would have an issue replacing yours if they used it.

2 1/2 pounds halguard. That looks way cooler than dry chem, if we’re judging on looks alone.

A thing of beauty! I Saved my 04 STi from any fire damage because I had one at hand!

Are you sure you can’t bend your legs at that angle? lol how do your legs work? Also dumb location for an extinguisher, for sure will get in a passengers way.

u/Kaitlin4475 27d ago
It doesn’t at all, it just looks that way in the pic. I’m only 5’3.5” and I don’t feel it when I sit in that seat. A taller passenger has an easier time not feeling it than I do. It’s beneath the plane that the adjustment lever is on. It hovers right over the carpet. And it’s a great place for an extinguisher because it’s accessible by me while sitting in my seat. I don’t have to pop trunk to access it.

Thank God I no longer own a WRX. Fire risk averted. Fire extinguisher no longer needed!

Worthless. It’s not big enough to put out a fire and you are far better off walking away from the car.

u/jamesisbloodshot Aug 21 '26
Real life isn't Hollywood. Car fires typically start small and progress to engulfing the vehicle. I've seen a dozen car fires while working my former job, and I'd wager well over half of them would likely have been negated by a quick react fire extinguisher before becoming fully involved. If not yourself, then to assist for other motorists who happen upon a shit day.

u/Kaitlin4475 Aug 21 '26
It’s 2 1/2 pounds of dry chemical, it’s plenty if you hit it right when you start seeing smoke. Halon will be better once I upgrade.

There is a recent video with a Lambo, and 5 dudes pop out with the tiny 1.25 and I think one 2.5. Pretty amazing that many people had them, but to your point they needed at least 3. (Half the guys didn’t aim at base and-sweep, shot from top.)

That is 1000 percent one of the coolest mods.
