Flame Throwers
I saw an advertisment for this in a unique cars magazine, and was like, (drool).
Car flamethowers, costs only $165 for a kit and there is a supplier in VIC, installation takes less than an hour, works best of carbied cars without
catalytic converters (YeaH! old dubs :P), and according to the supplier:
QUOTE:
"There is no law against the fitment of our flamethrower kit to your car but they are for off road use only. Cops just don't like these things for
some reason???? So to be safe just dont go shooting big flames while your driving around on public roads, having them fitted is fine."
here is their web site. I want a set.  http://www.flamethrowers.com.au

Or you could get yourself a Y2K motorbike. Watch the front end of the modern plastic fantastic car melt and change shape as they inch closer and
closer to the rear wheel.

What an amazing co-incidence! I saw a picture of a Porsche recently at the Gemballa website which looked *just like* the one above, except of course
the number plate wasn't the same.
Strangely enough, they didn't mention flamethrowers.com.au, must have overlooked it somehow.

Get the kit from Jaycar. I bought a Jacobs Ladder kit from there for the ignition for the jet bike. About $35 I think it was, just
add a coil, a spark plug and a switched 12V power source...presto...
The young guy there said it was for a flame thrower as soon as I plonked it on the counter.

No, the combustion in the engine isn't quite complete. There is enough unburnt stuff making it through to allow these flamethrowers to work. We all
know that cars cause pollution, well now it's easy to see just how much! These flamethrowers don't work with catalytic converters because the cats
"burn up" the pollutants by chemically combining the unburnt fuel and oxygen: that's why the cats get so hot, they release as much heat energy as
you see in these flames.

fair enough, so pretty much all you need is to run a ignition lead to your exhaust pipe and you have a flame thrower? sounds too easy...
