scutch0 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 yeah, thats just simple back firing... most just go bang... it must be overfueling by loads and have a really hot exhaust to make it spit flames, or hes got a popper in the exhaust or the ignition is retarded loads!Rich.

BlackTarw Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 wid? ah "with"...I think I understand what you've written I think flames out your exhaust is usually a result of very high lift cams (or anti-lag on a turbo) my old mini used to do it when lifting off quickly at high revs, looked cool, sounded better popping and farting on the over-run. I'm guessing that there's a lot of unburnt fuel which ignites in the hot exhaust manifold. Not sure if you'd want to replicate it on a modern starlet though as it'd probably fry your cat...you could get yourself a flamer kit, but those look crap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

klyfax Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I have a mate that have a mini racer, and it makes flames between shifts. Look nice, sounds nice... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shaun Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 dont do it on the starlet with turn on and off the ignition as the cam belt might snap and you will fuck your ecu up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

klyfax Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Full speed on a carb. Active chocker (if its have one) Turn off igition, wait until its down on 1k rpms then turn igition on. A good trick to scary olds ladys!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
