I used to think Flamer Kits were a load of balls - in the same category as neon washer jets etc...
but since I've been to cruises and shows with flamers happening near by - its nothing like neon washer jets, these are entertainment!
No one's gonna crowd round a car to see their neon washer jets flashing, people WILL crowd round a car to see flames coming out - since not everyone's flames will be the same size, style and duration!
At cruises - although we're there only to see nice cars, when someone does a burnout or donut - it does give everyone something to watch... When they can't do those two, flamer kits become the next best thing...
Last night at the ace cafe - there was 1 car with dual pipes, at first he was igniting just as it hit the limiter, making huge pops! then he was igniting making flames lick out - then he got it so people simply lit the gases with lighters / cigerettes lol and they just stayed flaming for like a minute!
Then there was a beemer - that was shooting out flames like a bloody afterburner on a plane! Coming out pure blue - when I stood directly behind it (even though I was quite far away) I felt like I was being burnt! the heat coming out was fantastic...
Then after a minute of doing these the exhaust was completely yellow / orange / red - and he gave it a rest.
Both times - there were big crowds! the big difference with this and some 'tacky' mods is they're not always on show. If its not appropriate for the time (i.e. going past a old pensioners home) - then you don't need to have the flames on. If there are people that are bored and want to see something happen, then you can switch it on. Its just the same as entertaining people by having the loudest sound system - yet this is the longest / hottest / fastest flames...

What are cruises like where you live Vibro - being up in scotland where the ratio of people per km per sheep is probably something like 0.25/1/200 - I'd imagine the cruises are pretty sparse and with no one around to watch a flamer kit working - I agree it'd be pretty gay to be making flames to no one except a farmer and some sheep!
Down south where the cruises are crowded with people they arn't bad, I'm not saying they're brilliant - just not bad.

Some cars flame by themselves -- fair enuf... The flames which come out like afterburners do look alright (fast and furious kinda thing)...
But I don't understand the whole butane thing -- it's like fitting a dump valve effect on a non-turbo car, or putting GSi badges on a 12v...

Okay, I agree he has some knowledge Sethion but thats becuase he happens to be on here 24/7, yes vibrio your entitled to your opinion that's why I wasn't arguing about your view on flamer kits and i didn't give my opinion at all, but once you've voiced it you feel compelled to just keep on going and going, i mean do you not think you should grow up a little?, refering to everything as 'ghey' is what little boys in first school do.
And one last thing, what would you know about my mind? you do not even know me. this just proves my point. Please just try and be helpful and stop showing off to all your little friends.

I see nearly as many posts from you in this thread, do you not think your going on and on a little bit, and should really grow up?

I built my kit for £20 and for that amount of money, unless you paid a local hooker £20 to do a show on your roof, you cannot draw crowds like a flamer kit will.
Things can go too far sometimes though....
