firebreathing starion fights back

Post by callan_rs2000 »

my brother has started welding and since my starion track car is an extremely budget build we decided to make up the exhaust out of half the original and some old C shaped piece of escort exhaust.

my brother welded it nicely so the exhaust sticks out the side around halfway down the drivers door - note there is no mufflers just a straight through exhaust

it was still up on the jackstands when he decided to start it up and test it out. my starion runs on 2 maybe 3 cylinders atm with the turbo doing absolutley nothing.

anyway he built the revs up and POW! a huge flame spat out and singed a huge patch on his pants.

Maybe it was one of those 'had to be there moments' but i thought it was funny (he's ok btw)

Haha yeh true! I was tramping it pretty hard then, and the Microtech definitely runs a bit richer. Pretty happy that it makes flames tho! I think I've heard it do it a couple of times since, but never sure cos I can't see it. That was a fun drive back :)
