i never implied you specifically were old. all i was sayingis i am young and i like having fun. and if i was 40ish i wouldnt. my parents and most are prime examples. they could do things when they were young that are frowned upon now by them because they are older.

i never once said you were old!! and who said you drive like a ****??? and what has a flamer kit got to do with driving like a ****.

i have stated that its personal preference

Some people even regard imprezas as being chav mobiles straight from the factory nowadays due to the image we now carry, enjoy the read

modifying is a great hobby but I agree flamer kits are not natural and shoot excessive flames which in my opinion look fake and most people are not impressed with them but hey it's only my thoughts spend the money else where and you will enjoy it more

so reving the car around 5k is going to put a piuston through the air.

oh and im not saying that they are indestructable but do you have any idea how strong a skyline engine is. and bouncing it at 5k aint going to hurt it

It sounded more than 5K.
No real idea how strong the engine is, but I bet its not doing it any good.
How often does that happen - revving it to see it farting out the back?
I'll take a wild guess at pretty much every day and at at least once.

Flamer kits are chavvy, fact.

The only way flames are cool is if your car pushes out more than 400bhp and the flames occur without any help from any additional devices, namely a spark plug in the exhaust.

I once saw a car with what can only be described as a gas burner on the back of it. There we were minding our own business and this tool comes along and lights his back end up. We heard this woosh then saw all the nozzles light up with blue flames in such a uniform fashion. Why someone would go to such lengths is beyond me. Myself and those around me looked at each other in disbelief and all bust out laughing. It was priceless.

FLAMER KITS ARE NOT COOL KIDS!!!

Barry boys. I've always thought of that lot as a bunch of sad jealous bastids but occasionally they have a point...

Screw handling, flames are the way forward! Look at the amount of flames coming out of a fighter jet, and they're fast as f**k!

Indeed, we'll and truely.

I believe thats "youth" for you, and of course there is the possibility that said "youth" could be a future politician or such in the future.

Now then, isn't that a frightening thought for the day.

I do, you seem to have it the wrong way around though, anti lag does something its the chav kits (oops flamer kits) that do nothing, how many WRC or rally cars have you seen driving around with chav (oops spelling again flamer kits) as opposed to anti lag lol
