    not fuel to the exhaust like you might think. It is 2 spark plugs near the tail pipes ,2 ign. coils and a small control box. When you hit the switch it cuts the engine ign. and sends constant sparks to the plugs in the t/pipes which burns the unburnt fuel in the system.Best results are when the exhaust is hot ,leave it in gear as you are going along hit the switch pull out the choke and you will get flames about 2mt long ,use no choke and they are short blue flame but you can blow your mufflers if you are not carefull...

    hahahaha reminds me when this dip shit in an old VP commodore was right up my ass and i knew the police were right infront of me in their undercover sport wagon. i slowed down to about 55km in a 60km zone and he want flying past me right past the cop

    i bet he has never tailgated anyone like that again

    For me mostly its when we're sitting at the set of lights and all i can see out the back is their bloody windscreen.... its like where the F*** is your bonnet, bumper and rego plate.... last thing i need atm is someone to ram up my arse.. dont think anyones seen a turtle on a rampage...

    Doing trips up home n back i get quite a few that like to do it, but a couple of quick taps on the brakes to flash the red lights and they seem to back off for a while.. not impressed tho cos in a 100 or 110 zone theres no need for it....

    Disagree. Doesn't happen in my 64 EH or Subaru. Hasn't happened as much in my previous cars.

    I used to get it all of the time as well in the Zed and always without fail at traffic lights i'd get some guy in a commodore or falcon trying to run me :zlove:

    Now because the Zed is off the road I get dickheads sitting up my arse in my Fagstra all of the time, so I slow right down to piss them off more :D

    I gotta admit that I slow down but not to piss them off. I do it to give them more time to brake if something happens.

    If they continue or get closer, I figure that they're trying to bully or intimidate. I've stopped in the middle of the road to find out why a couple of times.

    You will fine that people just don't care about other people on the roads let alone themselves. I got tailed gated about a year ago on my way to get some parts at my local Toyota dealership. Lady driver right up my arse i slowed a bit she got over tailed gated a 4x4 they slowed as well back into my lane put on my parkers nothing in their brain even triggered that maybe i put my brakes on. Broke a little as i was going down a hill still right up my arse the whole way till a set of lights.

    Coming to a stop she hits me all i see is her fingers up in the air etc look out the window and go WTF! she took off on the wrong side of the road up a left hand turning lane lucky no one coming i got around the corner with a green light followed her up the road to get her rego finally got in front of her and slowly got her to a stop and hit me again. Tried to get her to stop and almost got ran over. Get to other set of lights and she just gos right through the red light. Finally got up to where she was in the middle of traffic got out tapped on the window and said WTF are you doing pull over i want your details.

    She went to the local police station which means i couldn't get her details direct from her. She pretty much put a report in saying i was braking heavy and that there was smoke from the rear of my tyres and was scared for her life! Smoke from my rear tyres? yeah ok no rubber over my back bar nothing even the police officer saw this or the smell of burning rubber. Her boyfriend/husband come down ranting and raving like a wanker telling the police the story and he was not even there and saying crap about hitting me etc. I had to laugh at the wanting to hit me. He finally got told to get out of the interview room and not to go near me farking junkies of you ask me. 3 hours later sitting in a police station because her story was all over the place and crying and shit. Finally got to see the police officer he listened to my story took photos of the damage to my car and pretty much said off the record i would of done the same thing as you. He told me her story is way different to what i had even said. Which only took 10 minutes so he had a case for the report she filed. She didnt even know what my car was or my rego i have personal plates just proves how much notice some people do take when filing a report.

    Anyways he was going on holidays which ment i had to do my interview another time a month later got to tell my story wrote down everything and handed it to the officer when in the interview room with all the info make of her car, colour, rego etc He also stated she wants to sue me for stress etc He pretty much said if she does she wont win at all as it wont hold up in court due to her hitting me and is not even worth going through the court system. She got charged with reckless driving, driving on the wrong side of the road failing to stop at a secne of an accident So pretty much she got rammed in the arse and i got reckless driving just 3 points and a fine because i broke to get her off my arse even though it was down a hill. I got the paper work to fill out to get her details etc so i can get it repaired through the insure which in the end was so over it i didn't bother no point dragged on for too long. I had better things to do then sit and wait because some stupid person wanted to get no where in a hurry. So she pretty much got flogged harder in the long run.

    Funny thing is a week later i saw the same person flying down plenty road. People wont learn. All it takes is for a family member to die while in a car for people to stop and think but then sometimes that won't even sink in.

    If someone does tail gate me i just let the engine slow itself down some people do get it some don't...
