what the hell?
so i'm driving home 280N last night up to ssf and this lowered last generation rex passes me. i notice it has one of those huge fart pipes but i dont really pay attention. i'm pacing him at about 80 and the traffic opens up a bit, so he guns it. i dont bother cuz i figure 1) there's too much traffic to really race and 2) it's an rx-7 thats obviously modded...cl-s are fast, but not that fast. so anywayz...he guns it, and freakin FLAMES come outta the exhaust!!! what the hell was that? just backfire or what? last time i saw anything like that i was tailing an old school ferrari mondial (sp?) can anyone enlighten me on this? looked pretty cool since he had the car to back up a fart pipe w/ flames...
is it just a turbo thing? i see it sometimes on those 24hr lemans cars...
sorry such a long post...

My friend in San Diego has a 2nd gen RX Turbo with tons of mods. Was making something like 300hp @ rear wheels AND the car is lighter than our CL Type-S.
The guy may have had the cat. removed, etc.
I do know that my friend keeps a couple of spare engines to fix up when one of them goes down...

The flame out of the "Fart" pipe that you see can also be accomplished on Honda 4 cylinder engine as well. It has to do with the amount of air/fuel being dumped into the engine, and eventually through the exhaust system. The car has to be quite heavily modded, althougg, with turbo cars, it's easier to get that effect.
