Well, just goes to show that sometimes you get proven wrong. I have always thought (and posted) that you need to run without cats to blow flames.

Saturday night, Pluto (cym), UserID0 (ssm),three 2nd gens, and another FD were tearing up the highways in the dfw area. We had garlandrx7 in her mx-5 and my friend alan in my crx following us.

Steve and I were racing each other as usual, and at one point I revved 3rd gear to like 7000 rpms and held the car in gear for a few seconds as I negotiated a high speed sweeper. Next thing I know, the crx flies up to me and alan is waving his arms crazily. I change lanes to get next to him so I can hear what he's shouting: "Man, you're shooting ******* flames!"

Alan's freaking out because he assumed (like I had) that it was impossible for me to shoot flames.

At the Friday's where we stopped to eat, he told me that the flame was almost a foot long and was blue in color.

That made my damn weekend--I have a huge grin on my face right now

 

Fantastic! Always nice to learn something new.

 

someones cat isnt working anymore

 

oh yeah nice.......melting the paint on the guys hood behind you

 

Cool. I shot about 5 tonight when I was out driving. Usually it only happens when I wind out 3rd or 4th then back off.

 

Man, that CRX must be QUICK!

 

hahahahhaa

 

Well, at this point I had shifted into 5th and was prolly going about 80-85mph. That crx can boogie, though--b/c of the way 5th is geared, the lil Honda is in it's powerband from around 75mph up until 100 or so. At 80mph, it's revving at ~4k rpms.

Alan claims to have run even with a mid 80's z28 on a highway pull awhile back. The car does only weigh around 2200 pounds, so who knows...

 

Foot long blue flames? Sounds more like you were lighting your own farts.

 

I can always count on you for an intelligent comment

 

You kow it's just because I am envious; I only get the little pa-pa-pop on at high rpm on occasion.

 

i think i saw a baby flame too after that... it was sweeetness! and rich i can tell you value ur nuts you called it an mx5!!!

 

Why the "Miata" stigma?????

 

Still nothing compared to the dude in the FB with full exhaust.

 

Niceeeeeeeeeee!!!

Craziness....Its nutz what 368 rw can do to rotary powered monZter. hehe

 

yay rich, i was missing those flames like crazy. wish i could've seen it.

 

I'll take the cheap and dirty route to big flamage:

midpipe and Pettit ECU baby

 

The midpipe wasn't cheap for me after I blew five apex seals because of it...

And yes, my wastegate was ported
