I've seen quite a few Imprezas that have gone up in flames after rattling a big end out then chucking a conrod out the top of the block - The resulting (big) oil leak makes contact with the turbo, and the rest is history. 
Gotta feel for this guy though - His car looked sweet.

The older AFFF are much better than the foam ones but I think they are banned now - Had 2 in my rally car, one plumbed and one hand held.

You want something like this:
Lifeline Fire Extinguisher 1 Litre Hand Held 201-100-001
AFFF ones are very good.

Budgie not sure if this is of any intrest but the new legislation states that the size for a fire extinguisher in a car or van must be a min of 1kg and must have a guage on it, If that is the case then they cost around £50.00 give or take but on ebay there are some cracking deals on other extinguishers, this info is probably of no intrest but l thought you should all know.

slowboy racing have done me a very good deal on the build, the engine is being built future proof as I have intentions of bolting on a MD555 or MD321S in the near future once I have a suitable transmission and fuelling, the aim of the project is to build a car that can get in to the 10s on the drag strip as well be as be a comfortable daily driver
