Had the fright of my life tonight
My flamer has been playing up of late, and when it does work it is a bit lame.
But tonight it came back in force, so i sat there popping some flames out while stationary, in a row of cars.
Then my heart sank, blue flashing lights right in my rear view, thats it i though "im nicked"
And then all of a sudden like magic, the police car just dissapeared, and in its place was just another scoob.
It took a good ten mins for my heart rate to get back to safe levels

Depend what type of flame you want, if you want a longer lasting trickling flame then rev to about 5500/6000 rpm then just let revs settle to idle.
If you want to pop a huge flameball out as above but just before the revs drop to idle give the throttle a little blip.
Did you have full decat and VTA on your RA

Yeah very naughty boy 
But ...
The best bet was when Cookie released his seatbelt & twisted his head out of the drivers side window to see if it was the old bill or me
As you can imagine after i see the look on his poor ole face , I Was nearly in tears myself !!
Sorry Cookie
