Exhaust POP!!

when doing this, by shutting it off quick while still hot, wont the engine start to knock after awhile?
 
You are an idiot. Please sell your car to someone that will take better care of it.

You are putting other people on the road at a huge risk.

well said. and my point was, hypothetically, he turns off his car, tries to restart it, it doesnt start, he loses control of the car and hits someone or something. Thats pretty smart and personally not worth it for something you cant even see from the drivers seat(ie shooting flames). drive your car like a grown-up. And, if you wanna f around, do it off public streets
 
HAHA..every1 getting so mad over an easy question. gotta chill out you only have once to live so make it good. and you cant tell me that a flame shootin out of an exhaust at redline is not going to intimidate some civic drivers :p

No, it won't. Our cars already intimidate Honda drivers.

If I saw you stall out in front of me I would get your plates and report you to the cops for wreckless driving.

I'm 19 and not anywhere as dumb as you. Grow up.

*Edit* Hopefully you'll learn your lesson when you car doesn't start back up and get read ended.
 
It's Bad For The Engine And Turbo, Stop Doing It Now.
 
This guy is an effin' jackass.

You're starving the turbo of oil, extremely necessary oil that the turbo depends on to function properly and to prolong its lifespan. You're just killing it, at a very fast pace. Not to mention all of the other unnecessary shit you're doing to the engine besides. I would almost rather see you vent the CBV so you run pig rich instead of doing this. Give that car to someone who will actually care for it. :toobad:
 
sounds sweet right now but when your car is on the side of the road its gonna suck! if you want flames just buy a cheap flame thrower kit off ebay and do it the right way ( haha fast and the furious)or your gonna just pay $h!T load of money for a little fun you had if you really want your car to do some sweet sound just buy the hks ssqv that bov always make people heads turn and give the wtf face. but your car your problem do what you want. and im 17 i dont drive crazy
 
This thread is just a testiment to idiocy, and an example of how NOT to treat your car. This guy is a jackass.
 
If you want it to pop really nice.. get a good mixture of gas and sugar.. that will make it pop real nice..
 
Not to mention having your car at WOT in the upper RPM's could cause your hands to be not so steady, and what if you turn the key to lockback position and get it stuck, then the wheel locks and you're F****D. This is obviously not a great idea and probably not worth it from the responses you've gotten. If you've gone as far to ask others opinions you should atleast take the advice you get and stop.

I'm not trying to justify what the guy is doing, but the oil pump is mechanically driven and in no way will it be starving the turbo of oil if the engine is still turning(key off or on). It may however cause enough stress from the explosion to cause damage to the turbine blades as well as the turbo bearings.

I've seen people do this before but with n/a cars, splitting their stock mufflers in two from the explosion. Me and my friend do this with his beater golf cart all the time by holding the throttle open manually without touching the gas pedal, then flooring it again. Then again, it's a golf cart...

If you're gonna be dumb though, please make a video :p
 
whats that smell... oh yah a dead end thread. keep your dumb stunts off the streets. moron
