how do you get one i have seen turbo petes mini with one and i was just wondering will it work on non turbo engines also how can you change the colour of them like in fast and furious

[mike.]

lol Theres been loads of topics about this. Have a quick search.

[Globule]

Turbo pete (hope you dont mind me saying this ) has a sparking kit thing, its basically a spark plug in the exhaust that ignites the unburnt fuel when you change gear/come off accelerator (i think), its a relatively universal kit i think, if you search ebay theres normally some on there! They are illegal to use on public roads as well (it's kind of obvious but you know, 'some' people use them on the road )

As for colour changing, im not sure, could stick some chemicals in your exhaust and see what pretty colours they burn may melt/burn your mini though

lol , bbq ahoy , lol

I have one but not fitted yet coems with a little button you rev your car up and press it and its supposed to do 1 - 5 foot flames i got mine from here

[insamoufonyx]

basicly, its a universal kit that will fit any car, althou not recomended if you have a CAT, the more rich the car runs the better it will flame, it jsut comprises of a spark plug, ht lead, coil, flasher relay and wiring.

as for changing the colour, im pretty sure its different gasses are used to make different colours

lol good idea well i will buy purchasing a kit at the mini show today i bought clear rear lenses air filter need another thou cause of twin carb opening rear windows and chrome door escutchons also i have got blue silicone hoses to fit to both radiator pipes so another thing to add to my list wont hurt will it lol will update when i get it

when i come off the loud pedal after nitrous i have flames that batman would be proud of. Thats because of all the unburnt fuel left lurking. looks cool but really is a pain in the ****. I have injected propane into an exhaust before which makes huge flames but this is not recommended... gas connections should only be made by a corgi registered installer.

Since you are still not 17, i urge you to save your money for driving lessons and not spend it on pointless tat.

how can you change the colour of them like in fast and furious

Have a motion picture special effects department handy at all times, and don't try to do it while driving because all the gas pipes coming out of the car will stop you moving very far, unless they're really long pipes.

IT'S A MOVIE.

Yep i have got a spark plug in my exhaust and a flamer kit.

As said above they are illegal to use on the road.

As for changing the colour of the flame, the only thing you can do is make a tailpipe out of copper (which is illegal) this will give you a greenish colour flame...

Here's a little vid of mine in action...

[Ethel]

did you cut out that bit of bumper or did it just melt?

[998dave]

Doesn't table salt burn with a different colour, trying to remember from school, something burns green anyway. think it's Sulphur, so you could inject sulphur into the tail pipe, but I don't advise any of this.
