M4 tonight from Maidenhead to Reading, overtaken by a screaming MR2 (it was dark, but thats what it looked like)

Pulled in just ahead of me and both exhausts burst into flames!! Not just a pathetic puff, but a full blown 'melt my front bumper'!! It certainly lit up the Motorway!!

Left at the A33 junction with flames showing all the way up the slip road!

Anyone on here? Anyone know the car? How is it done? (don't think it was a flame kit ..... it look the proper business!!)

Pete

 

I would think it is done by having a turbo, and when you lift off the overly compressed gasses get fired out the very very hot exhaust. Lets think of a name for this car..... what about MR2 Turbo?

Does that keepit simple enough for you old man lewis?

 

short exhaust will help im sure......

 

Well, mines a Turbo and I don't think I have flames?? Or do I??

Pete

 

I bet you have cats instead

 

I've got a dog and fish, rats and rabbit .................

Oh, a CAT on the car?? Well, yes, its newer than 1992 so I have ..... isn't it ILLEGAL to take them off??

Look at the planet and how its being killed by the Catless owner!!

Pete

 

pah **** the planet........ wont affect us......

 

din't say it was legal - just said it might be an explanation

 

anyway i have 2 cats........ at home......... and 2 in the car.......... well on the car.....

 

MR2 is

 

I have an MR2 Turbo with decat and Blitz Nur spec exhaust, stage 5 hybrid turbo and built motor. Believe me, I get flames They're actually louder than I expected them to be, but I have to smile when I get one

And tuscan57 is right, being midengined the exhaust isn't exactly long.

 

Only illegal when you take it for the MOT,good idea to keep the cat for the MOT day.I thought everyone did this? powerman
