Talking I have fire!

Thought I would share...

I was pulled over yesterday because my car was "on fire" and that I needed to get it fixed. I told the officer: "wow, yeah my check engine light has been on and idk what could cause that so I am taking it into the shop friday." lol. No ticket or anything, he just wanted to let me know something was wrong with my car.

Up until today, I had never seen my car pop flames, (because no one else drives my car) so I decided to have my friend tape it. I promise it does not sound this raspy in person. The video has horrible sound quality because it was shot from my phone.

It pretty much is... I have no money for mods after gas and insurance.

Pretty much all I have is Racing Beat Header, TurboXS exhaust with race pipe, and AEM cold air intake.

making minimum wage doesn't help a bit. I have a Cobb AP and a handful of gauges so it looks like nitrous is next on the list

that's what happens when you combine my Dyno Events + Mazdamaniac's tuning + MM running the dyno + Flashwing's beast of a car.

epic.


sorry for the thread hijack, just had to share that video.
It was either that one or the one of me roasting marshmallows at a dyno event courtesy of a Boost'd 8's flame throwing exhaust.

I love that clip, Jedi.

I have to question the story of being pulled over for the flames... I can't imagine you get flames during reasonably casual driving. Did you get pulled over for more than just flames? lol

There is a nice, 9 mile squiggly road that I was driving down and its 55mph with suggested 20mph turns, etc. But there is a stop sign at the bottom and I redlined first and shifted to second and let off the gas when I reached 55 and pop, lights, license and registration.
