Reading 5 year old posts from me is quite hard, literally. The grammar is just that bad.



I'm not a educated man but, I know what love is......

John, did you ever discover why your car was so prone to emulating a Dragon with all the flames? You didn't discover a 5th sparkplug back in the tailpipe?

Nothing new really. Rich fuel mixture with hot exhaust. I got told repeatedly(never got it on video) that my car would shoot out a nice flame accelerating in every gear. This was after the vitesse kit and motor of course. Apparently I'd merge onto 87 and give a light show.

I run my cars. I have a feeling a lot of 951 owners would experience this same thing if they ran their cars at long intervals where the exhaust system can really heat up. Track cars experience stuff like this every lap after their exhaust system gets nice and hot.

As soon as I cut the cat out of my car I started getting those flames on hard shifts (POP!), and the cool pops on decel/no load. This is on a stock Turbo S; best $100 mod I've ever done to any car.

I will still have kill vids just not in a 944

I honest to god will probably buy another 944t or 968t down the road. It will be a fully prepared turn key car though, not another project.

I agree, an open exhaust and tune will do it.

At around the 22 sec mark, notice the slight daylight flamage, need to capture a night time shot like John's
