Great Balls of Fire

Here's another video of the dyno run where massive flames were captured off the ER34. It happened pretty fast so incase you can't see it properly from the video, I've attached screen captures below for better illustration.

It's freaking cool but I'm burning away gasoline and my rear bumper wrote me a letter of complaint!!

Pic 1: It starts with cool blue flames ...


Pic 2: ... before it develops into a massive fireball


Pic 3: Flames moving up high

Pic 5: That's it folks. Flames over.

Blazzin' ER34

When I got hold of my dyno chart, I was a bit worried about my air fuel ratio. As it turns out I have a reason to be worried. The ER34 is now officially a fuel guzzler. I think she is dumping out way too much fuel. It now consumes as if it is an AWD. WTF right?

Damn it, my pocket is gonna hurt with these constant refueling. I really need to get it retuned properly. Recently, I had a scary experience when driving home one night. The exhaust exploded with a muted bang and there were flames higher than my rear spoiler. I was shocked looking at it via the rear view mirror. Half of my rear view were of a huge billow of yellow orangy flame!

Well, honestly I thought it was cool at first. LOL :D

BUT this is not right, there have to be way excess fuel than needed. Every few days my rear bumper looked like the above picture. And trust me, it's a bloody bitch to clean it out. Even the body, rear lights and rear spoiler is coated with soot! It's utter madness, I tell ya. :(

And all these while I was keeping my revs below 5,000rpm.

This really can't be right at all!!!

I love flames !!!

No, I don't mean flame grilled burgers but rather, exhaust flames! Check out these flames coming out from the ER34 during a dyno session. Yeeeehaaaaa.... :P

Pic 1: Flaming hot!

Acthung! Flaming ER34

ER34 flames - Video by sakakida

Referring to my post on Kakimoto Catalyst Straight Pipe, I finally get to see how the car is from the other angle, i.e behind the car. When I was a lot younger I used to envy seeing those JDM cars with flames thrown out of the exhaust. Now that I am experiencing it myself, it's a nice feeling that I finally can do it with my own car. It's no big deal to a lot of people but coming from a guy that drove a humble Proton Wira 1.5A (4G15) and a Daihatsu Charade 1.3 (G200) before getting the Proton Perdana V6 (6A12), this is whole new motoring experience.....

Together with sakakida and corrupt, we shot the below pictures and video. Sorry about the quality of the pictures, they were extracted from a poor quality video. :(

Pic 1: Flames starting

Pic 2: Flames away.....
