A RX-7 idea worthy of james bond

Heres my idea to add a little bond style to my seven. I was AFTing my seven yesterday.
Wow, what a smokescreen. I was thinking it would be cool if you could have this smokescreen at the touch of a button.

What if you fill the Subzero start assist with ATF and then wire it to a switch in the car. A window washer tank would work too.

Hit the button and presto, huge james bond style smoke screen.

what do you think.

People did this for fun many moons ago. Don't feed it to the engine. Drill in a fitting just behind the last catalytic and put a line there to pump in atf. It still smokes like a forest fire. Have ***** Galore ride shotgun and help you out.

yeh that would work but you wouldn't get the cleaning action or the ability to unflood your engine at the touch of a button.

If you have that much of a flooding problem then you need to direct your mechanical energy elsewhere.

Besides, dumping tranny fluid in at the touch of a button doesn't help much, unless you also have a way of changing the spark plugs at the touch of a button.

edit: Forgot to debunk the "cleaning" idea... ATF won't do much unless you leave in in there for at least a day... preferably a week or more. Dumping it in there while the engine is running will do absolutely nothing, in fact it could make things worse.

wouldnt it also foul up the plugs just like it does when you let it sit? or would it not have enough time to do that either?

I remember Denny saying he filled his with MMO. Thin enough for the pump to handle, it smokes, wont foul the plugs too quickly either.

The smoke screen button is a bad *** idea. You could get in front of someone doing 50 in the left lane where the speed limit is 65, double clutch into 4th, hit the button and drop the hammer on they slow ***!

I used to be able to backfire on demand. That always eliminated tailgaters

I discovered a new way... shut the engine off while rolling. I did this in my friend's driveway, shut the engine off going about 10mph in 2nd gear and just rolled to a stop. 5 seconds after the car stopped, BIG BIG BIG backfire. Cooooooooool

yeah i found that out too, i cut the motor goin like 30 and coasted a block to my house so i could sneak in late. parked it, and boooooom, loud *** back fire, flames and all. luckily mom didnt wake up. pretty cool really. so now when i park at school or work and dont want people near me or just want to make a scene, i cut it off and coast to my spot like 15 feet from it. gun shot noise and 2 feet of flames out the back always scares em. doesnt do it when i let it cool down though. maybe if i got rid of the presilencers theyd shoot farther...
on a side note, anyone else like to kill the engine and coast when parking? always fun to me, just reminds me of my good old days when i didnt have a whopping 120hp and let gravity and momentum do the work

I think people call this techqinue "Key Banging" if I'm not mistaken.

arnt huge backfires hard on exhausts. Or can racing beat systems handle anything you can throw at them, I'v always thought that.

When I get my headers I am going to run a line for the ATF, this is going to be fun.

Lol, this is great. I'm going to use this back-firing while i park my car at work. Or, I can use it to disperse old people that tend to naturally, lean on my cars. Same thing with that atf thing, soooo funny. Mwuha ha ha ha.

It's cool until you hear a REALLY loud bang....and then notice a whole in the muffler.

Don't you have to turn the ignition back on before the engine stops turning to key bang?

About the smokescreen idea, there's a company, (cant remember who off hand), but they are making mini fog machines for mounting on cars and doing some neat effects.
