Flamin' Benno - May 2004

[Cat]

Just a little surprise for you all!

Here's Benno burning it up in Camden earlier this year...

[Cat]

Cool huh?!

[Damon]

Cat, That looks great man!

Tell me, what type of system is it?
I dont know too much about flame systems but would like to know more.

Is it legal?

Cheers, Damon.

Is it legal ! If I was walking past Ben when he gave that a squirt Id turn into a human scrub fire.    Polititions wouldnt see the funny side hehe

[Damon]

Yeah,... Stupid question or what!

I guess I mean, how illegal is it?
Or how easily hidden is it!!

What is involved in the set up?

Is it propane gas or flammable liquid?

Would like to see a pic of the system and wiring etc'.

Cheers, Damon.

Hey Damon,
You might have to ask Benno for the details.  He's under Revhead_Fc on the forum (funny that eh?!)  
Leon also has one set up on his car so you might be able to share some details with him too.  I also thought you could buy flame kits, but I might be mistaken.  I do know Ben eats a lot of baked beans..... (yeah, sorry that wasn't funnny!)
Cheers,
Cat

Just to add my two cents worth here, there is a set-up you can get that has a sparking type plug and coil system to deliver the spark to the unburnt gasses in the exhaust pipe, the plugs are welded into the standard pipe a couple of inches from the tip and coil pack mounted anywhere under the body nice and close, but out of sight, all in all unless you look up the pipe and looked for it specifically you would be hard pressed to notice it till the switch was activated of course!  there is an advert in Unique cars towards the end of the colour section called flamethrowers or similar, pretty reasonable but once again, not very legal - for road registered cars!
Cheers
Matt

Yep, that's the one I was thinking of.  And if you look closely at the top pic you can just kinda sort of see one on Benno's exhaust....
