Go to a library, if nothing else, and take some RCA cables with you. Anyone with a good video capture card can help you turn tape into an mpeg. I'd love to see it.

flames are cool. i can almost shoot them at will in mine or my wifes car. my wifes is cool cause when i hit 5grand in 3rd and let off, it keeps a pretty steady torch down til 3 grand. and then you floor it again and a nice biggy comes out.

That's how I shoot flames except I do in a parkinglot in nutraul. I could shoot some big ones I had a crowd of like 10 people watching my fireworks show, just becareful if you collect to much gas fumes in your muffler it might explode. Oh P.S. it works really good to get people off your *** at stop lights and on the freeway, just make sure it is not a cop first.

Yeah never race a car that comes on a trailer, never race a car with no headlights and never race a car that shoots flames. Right now no flames come out of my car becuase of the ported intake and rejetted carb but I will be shooting hellaflames in a week or two after I get high flow fuel pump and a rising rate fuel pressure rugulater.

Yeah about no headlights. I took my car to the muffler shop yesterday for some work, and one of the guys there had a car in a cover, but you could still see slicks for rear tires. We started talking and he told me he was racing next week, uncovers the car, an old, blue RX-3. I notice the two right headlights are missing which made the car look kinda bad, but didn't say anything. Anyways, we continued chatting and then I take another look at his empty right headlights space and the penny drops. "Is that your cold air intake?". He says yeah, the turbo is right there, and you can see the I/C there. So I start realizing this car is deceiving by its looks and ask how much hp is it putting to the wheels. He says 900 hp! don't know if true or not, but inside that engine bay was a 13BT. He told me it was an 8 seconds car. Didn't look anything like that from the outside!

thats a pretty awesome story.

want your 12A FB to shoot flames? it's easy.

Rev to 7k, hold at WOT and kill the ignition, after about 3/4 of a second turn the ignition back on.. BIGASS flame.
Adjust the throttle position to adjust the amount of fire, it's different with every car.

No the engine will still be spinning so it will restart it self when you put the key in the on position.

play the vid on your comp, hit the print scrn button on the keyboard at the selected moment, open your paint shop/photo program and hit paste. That's all I have to do on mine.

yea shooting flames is awesme lol. I do it all day, really easy. It's better when your in 2nd at night trying to race a crx from the get go and theres just a good 3 ft blue flame coming from your exhaust. Also on the intersate in th just let of and flames pop out. I did it once with a cop behind not knowing he was back there. WOoo boy did he suddenly floor it up on me. Didn't pull me over, but he did pull the Focus over next to me. THought that was hilarious. I run no muffler right due to me blowing it in half. So shooting flames is kinda scarey right now. Lets just say the exhaust outlet is about a foot underneath the carfrom the back of the bumper.
