Re: fire suppression ?

If it's user rechargeable, then it cannot be Lemons legal.

From the rules, it must be a

...SFI-or FIA-certified onboard fire suppression system

and in order to be SFI or FIA certified, systems have to be recharged only by certified facilities or the manufacturer.

There are two guaranteed good units for $50 more on the Lemons store.

Re: fire suppression ?

I don't have issue with the price really , just wanted avoid the wait time and the potential for missing a race because we don't get it in time or being forced to buy one OTC to make the race deadline then having the ordered unit show up after .  thanx for the info gents

Re: fire suppression ?

I think with the driver gear, all the orders through the Lemons site are passed directly to pyrotect. The fire suppression stuff may be the same (or maybe not, i don't work at HQ). But you could give the company a call and check on lead times for the Lemons kit. Would save you the stress of not knowing when it would actually get to you.

Re: fire suppression ?

With the SPA stuff it goes through a third part race shop.  Mine ordered in February to almost exactly a month to get here.
