Those chrome bumper heatsheilds??

bit or

Thing is since I changed me engine my car has started poping out some rather nice flames from the exhaust (without a flamer kit) and in a little over 2 weeks my bumper is burnt

Taken the paint off and melted part of it

Should I buy one or are there any other alternatives apart from set the fire brigade on speed dial

will only burn if it has contact, but it shouldnt do should it, but carbon gives off deadly fumes, so after a big ragging, dont bend down and go " woa look at my heat shield, its burnt to fuck! ( and sniff it ) " LOL





but as for chrome

its not the setup thats doing it mate, i think theres too much fuel in the map maybe

speak to stu for advice but we deffo had to stick the fog lights on to follow you

the top end im sure is spot on but theres alot of fuel lowdown , thats a good thing as theres no det gionna be in the engine,

get the MOT station to check the co at idle and then at 3k , engine not moving and then ask stu

oh it might be due to the cams not being properly dialed in as that should allow more air and so more fuel in the map as hes added more fuel for BD10's aint he

pm him or call him and see what he says, i might be wrong as im not techy but ya deffo got fuel comming out the rear
