my buddy did that in his malibu, and it blew the starter to bits, the guy who told him to do it told him to start the car again, (hes a bit slow) poor guy just wanted to make his car backfire and ended up losing 130$$ for a new starter,

my 7 does some huge backfires aswell, as long as its hot enough, i get some good double looks, mikuni carbs pushin way to much gas

Do you guys just have stock exhausts? I bought a 79 RX-7 and I take delivery on Tuesday, and the minute I get it running I'm gonna pull out behind our shop and try a few of these tricks. Will it be better once I get my complete Racing Beat exhaust setup?

I can shoot flames, little ones, when I tack it out in neutral. It's great
