Comedy spoiler now off! Yey!!! *pics*

Just taken off my comedy spoiler from when I bought the car. Got a nice standard one fitted. Now only got the front bumper to change.

Re: How to spit flames?

Re: How to spit flames?

OK, unburnt fuel being ignited by the hot exhaust tips - thanks Mark. But it seems some people are saying that crap plugs make them pop, bang and flame, but others are saying new plugs make them pop et al. :-k Maybe its me, but I found less pop's while using Tesco 99ron compared to Shell optimax??? ...

How to spit flames?

Driving through a local estate t'other evening and arrive at a T junction (prior to this, may I add, I was engaging in a lot of flames and pops and the engine was warm). I pull out of the junction briskly in first and slowly change to 2nd, then where I would normally expect a 'pop'...... :shock: BAN...

will a uk front bumper fit a tubby?

..as above, and both are rev2. Seems stupid question, but there's always a small hitch, it seems. :roll: I'm taking my veilside front bumper off and replacing it back to standard.....why? its too low and the idiot who I bought the car off did a terrible job of fitting and 'smoothing' it in. =D> :roll:

Re: 17" and different tyres?

Right, 215/40 front, and 235/40 rear. Will go and have a word with the local tyre fitting centre. He was scaptical at running 215's on the rears, saying that they'll rub the insides. He'll have kittens when I come telling him these sizes. Re: running 205's all around and it being a little hairy........
