Not cool.

Esp if you use it parked up at shows n cruises to try n show off.

Id not have a problem with having one, rather flames than black unburnt fuel smoke, but id never mention i actually had it, you might be suprised how many cars have it and never mention it.

I reckon there cool if used in the right places by the right looking cars. i.e RS's on track or an RS being used hard. Not cool if they are being used on the spot to fry the grass

I've got one and I don't care what people say it's the mod that puts the silliest grin on my face. It's great when you have a twat on your bumper Wind it up and let off big flame and then fuck off up the road

Any way I have to pay through the nose for my fuel so I want to burn every last bit of it

I'd wire it up to the throttle so when you come off the gas it activates if armed. Cheap version of anti-lag.


I'd never tell a single soul I have it though

True but the same car with a sparkplug up the exhaust does it much more.

Its not big, its not clever, but it is amusing.

Sad on cars like Saxos and the like okay on Cossies though. The 15ft Butane powered ones are just silly in any case though.

All a bit of fun I `spose

flames look good imo, specially when following an s1 down a windy b road in the pitch black at stupid o clock in the morning and it lights up the trees and the road with flames everytime it goes round a corner!

I agree with Steve - they do look good when your caining it down a road, lift off and get flames out the back - far better than seeing a small black puff out the tailpipe - but if I had one, I wouldn't go around telling peeps "wow, check this out, I have a flamer kit!" in the same way I wouldn't go around promoting having a dumpvalve... And I would NEVER sit in a car park at a cruise revving the tits of the engine in the hope I can get it flame out! Mainly cos you'd never see me at a chav cruise anyway Show maybe, but I wouldn't do it there either.......
