Around 200 cars can attend these events and are they chavs? no they are cars and owners doing what they enjoy. I have had my flamer on mibe for 5 years now and will keep it on there for as long as I own the car. When i had mine fitted there was a 10 day waiting list for these to be done in time for a tunnel run not to me that speaks for its self. To the OP go for it mate £30 off ebay for millions of smiles makes it worth while. I say lets see all your flamer pics

I run an newage STi fully forged blah blah blah - everything done right. its had about £20K extra put in to it none of it obviously visible on the outside. BUT even in standard exterior trim I'm under no illusion as to what it looks like to some. No stickers, no neon (wtf), set up for the track but it is what it is. Don't worry about what it looks like... to 'some' Porsche/BMW/Ferrari drivers we all look like dicks. I don't care what they think... I love mine and when I beat new GT3s on track I go to sleep smiling and dreaming of my car not theirs. I also dream about people who own £80k motors crying!

Guy wants a flamer kit? Good luck to him, its his car and his money. At the end of the day his 'image' doesn't affect mine or yours.

Like some others I prefer constructive advice though... So on that note my advice is flamers aren't really very impressive, so get a str8 through 3", save up for a simtec and map a moderate anti-lag or a little rich maybe. I think you'll find the effect will be MUCH MORE to your liking mate.

Good luck.

How to spot a chav car

You may be wondering how to spot a chav car. ****ing imbecile, it's not hard. Anyhow, just in case you are; here are ten ways to spot a chav and his chav-mobile.

1 - The chav will most probably be wearing burbarry and cheap gold from Argos. Remember, they have no taste and it gives them away.

2 - The chav will stare at you, because he thinks he's hard. He's not. He's a ****. Be sure to tell him so. "Oi, chav... yer a ****!" should do the trick.

3 - His car will be ****. This one's a giveaway sign. He'll drive a small, cheap car because that's all his benefit, or fudge packing job will allow him to buy. He will think he's driving a Subaru Impreza, he's not. Tell him so.

4 - His car will have lights on it that flash in sequence. It's a special code that means 'I am a ****, with a **** car. Laugh at me and tell me so".

5 - He'll be a ****.

6 - When he sits in his car, he will barely be able to see over the steering wheel. This is because he is a ****, and is under the impression that by lowering his seat he somehow looks 'cool'. He doesn't... don't forget to tell him so.

7 - His car will sound like your dad's hedge trimmer. This is because he's fitted a Halfords exhaust on a car with a tiny engine. He thinks it makes his car sound powerful. It doesn't. You know what to do.

8 - The chav moves in herds for protection. You will find them in McDonalds car parks, and other areas where they can gather to congratulate each other on their impressive beasts. This is a good opportunity to strike, scattering them as they flee in terror.

9 - Don't forget, the chav is a ****.

10 - Finally, and most importantly, the chav drives a very slow car, but is under the mis-guided impression that it's fast. Race him, he will most likely kill himself as the weight of his fibreglass add-ons cause his car to topple on bends. Remember, the more chavs you kill, the more bouqets of flowers are left on roadsides.

This made me smile.
