everyone on this site has probably seen the movie but my question is this ....... how do they make their cars spew out fire when they are
revving their cars and preparing to race

VtecRacer2k2

It's call a flame kit. It's illegal but bad a$$. There is a switch to turn the flame on and off and when you rev it, the fume ignite the fire.

i thought the flames come out from going past redline, why else would the cars be flaming DURING the race because who in the right mind would turn their flame kit on when they're busying pushing NOS buttons

You can do it with just a spark plug in back if you don't burn all of your fuel. Then again, others do it with propane and a spark plug. Whatever. I might try that just for the hell of it. Maybe with the stock exhaust though. I couldn't want to cut up a new exhaust.

Do a search. I think there was a big response to this a while ago.

Anything is possible, remember seeing flames on hot rod racing the quarter mile?

Prolly that old trick Grey mentioned. Drill a hole in the exhaust tip, insert a spark plug, wire it to a switch, and BAM!! It burns the un-spent gas in your exhaust. Prolly won't work on our ULEV cars with choked up exhaust and phat catalytic converter. Who's gonna be first to try so we know for sure?

Its a movie shiet yo, most of it is special effects i dont see how ppl can take this movie seriously when most of the movie is fictional and made up and poorly edited might i add[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

While the movie might not be that accurate, I will have to admit that it DID get me into the import racing scene so props to that.
I think that might have been the whole movies intent, well, and to make the aftermarket companies alot happier.... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

I've seen that movie three times in the theatre, and twice on computer. Oh, and once on DVD.

Nevertheless, about the flames. Yes, a flame kit would do it, but... hmm, something else that would do it that is NOT illegal would be... the misfiring system. *gasp* Yes, a misfiring system. Gunshots + fire = 1337. Damage to catback? Definately. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Btw, the Fast and the Furious did not introduce me to the import scene, although it did help renew some likes / dislikes. Initial D actually STARTED me off about cars, and then it eventually lead to import. Cool stuff though. I have the entire Stage I, Stage II, Extra Stage, and Third Stage Movie if anyone wants it. Captions included.

Not to be an *** but how can u say that F&F got you into the Import Scene? More like the rice and show scene, nothing more[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]

Sarvic

because i haven't been "that" exposed to it until recently. i was a little curious. and then, after watching the movie i became interested. that's all.
hey, you gotta start somewhere, even if it is rock bottom, ya know...

whowhatwhoa

u put lighter fluid on ur exhaust tips and get a lighter and light them and keep feeding it lighter fluid....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

From what I heard it works a straight pipe, this way u have unburned fumes leaving your exhaust, the u just hook up spark plug on the end of the exhaust and u r ready. U need to be careful cause this stuff may blow or back fire or something like that

I thought the flames in the movie were computer generated.

Man, the Fast and the Furious was an amazing movie. Being the first real import car movie out there it was pretty good even though it has some special effect flaws. Props to the producer!
