Default Flames!!!

I recently got a flamer kit fitted to my s2 rst (not that it needed one really) but I thought i would look smart, it chucking out flames at light etc.
Anyway I was just wondering if anybody new the best way to get flames out, the only way I can really do it is to be driving along the road in any gear, floor it to bring on some hard boost then lay of the accelerator gently then back hard on the boost. it does make for some amazing flames but if anyones got any better idea's then Im all ears. (so to speak)

Cheers

u can rev to 4k rpm say 3 blaps then one big blap to 6k rpm and what the flames pop out.
if u hit the limter u can have a bang which producess a long flam

ps not reccomended all the time

Best I have found is 50mph in 3rd, well boost upto 50, or 55, let of the accelerator and gently push it back down again really slightly (not enough to make the car speed off) and it will produce some monsters!

Again, all depends on the setup/boost/what mods etc as to what flames are produced I think. Some cars flame better than others.

U need a spark plug, a HT lead, you need a switch, wire, also the main bit is the ignition module thing which controls the sparker to come on and off with the switch, also you gotta drill thru ut tailpipe and either screw or weld the plug into place. I got mine fitted properly by SCC performance (www.sccperformance.co.uk) But you may find you can do it yourself if you get all the right bits and good with a welder.

You want proper flames, mines half way there when the exhaust and turbo are redders with a good thrashing

Its the thing that sends a signal to the coil making the spark, you can pick them up off e bay, mine was about £35.
