Designing and Installing a Fire Suppression System: K24 CR-X Gets Some Protection
By Aaron Gaghagen and Brian Gillespie

Car fires happen. We have all seen the viral videos of cars going up in flames. A lot of the time it’s somebody’s project car or race car burning on the side of the road. Pushing the performance of a car can be hard on the components. These components can fail, possibly leading to fire. Many people choose to use small fire extinguishers mounted in the driver area. While they are effective, they do have their limitations. They cannot hit more than one area at a time and they require the driver or safety crew to operate them. These limitations are too much for our friend Vic and his K24 swapped AF CR-X.

Vic chose a complete fire suppression system from Lifeline. It uses a liquid clean agent extinguishant that will put out the fire, but not leave residue that could ruin surviving electrical components and interior pieces. We show how to design and install the system.
