NICE, I have been told that i shoot 1 foot flames I want to see them though!

Nice pic. Those flames look even cooler when you are chasing Damian. I wish I had my camera running when I was chasing you through the Slalom!

Dang that was a fun run. I can't wait to do it again. I'm trying to get that track for an evening track day or two this month.

Holly Shit .... :eek:

Nice ! :D

Same here, eagerly awaiting my Gt35/40's :D To go and pounce on some V8 A$$

I have a midpipe muffler, on my "uhm" race car... :D and sometimes when it's just warmend up and I step on it and then need to let off and downshift due to traffic, I get this pretty loud pop, like I ran over a soda can... I can't see the flame, but I did get a couple of reactions, where people either slow down, one guy almost ran into the median :D
Just wondering how loud, and what it sounds like when you backfire...

damian 06-03-04 12:12 PM

my backfires are not that loud, just a medium pop or a few pops, they are lower sounding than you would think ..but the flame is huge...

Montego 06-03-04 12:30 PM

I also have MP.
Once in a while when I'm at WOT and I shift from 2nd to third I get this "POP" that is loud as hell. The first time it it happened it scared the shit out of me because I thought somebody shot a gun off LOL. I wasn't expecting it since all I did was change a blow off valve (my old one was leaking) and I was just testing the boost.

Damian - I remember seeing a nice flame in one of your last video's. Believe you were being chased by the red Mustang?

Always enjoy your track video's.... keep them coming

Is that actually healthy considering the gas tank would be just above??? I always wonder about that..

damian 06-03-04 01:44 PM

naw its fine, the flame is pretty far from the tank and is not constant, its only there for a millisecond, just a 'flash' on shifting and decel.

Rhode_Dog 06-03-04 04:56 PM

i bet that could solve any tail gaiting problem on the highway :)

damian 06-03-04 05:09 PM

hahah exactly

I agree, that unless you have a leak in the tank it should not play a roll, but to dismiss it like it's just for a fraction of a sec. is like saying spark plugs can't ignite gas since they fire for just a fraction of a second... :D

S'mores anyone?

not what i ment...and the 2 conditions (flame out of exhaust vs spark in combustion chamber) are not comparable

dood, flames out of exhaust been happenin on these cars fro longer than we know, how many rear ends you herd catching fire or exploding,...come on guys ;)

jrave 06-17-04 01:40 PM

good thing i checked the forums, thought maybe my car was fucked up for shooting flames....damn i hate being a newbie...

areXseven 06-17-04 02:01 PM

Sorry,...double post.

I'd be more concerned about flames escaping through a hair-line crack or hole (exhaust leak) in the exhaust pipeline, than any flames shooting out and away from the rear of the vehicle!!
