Are backfires illegal?
I mean the nice lound ones when you fiddle the killswitch, not ones where the fuelling and zorst is buggered. ( I have both types...)
I imagine it would could be construed as anti-social behaviour or something silly like that but I imagine that would be more of a civil offence than a traffic one?
At least I don't combine gunfingers with backfires....  |

I used to run an old VW type 3, and to be fair it was crap, one night I had picked up a few mates stopped in the petrol station, heard the idle drop slightly, I now know its rather warm and will start backfiring if I turn it off...
Some jobs worth comes running over telling me to turn my car off you are not allowed to have the engine running on a petrol station forecourt, so I asked should all patrons push there cars upto the petrol station and out when arriving blah blah fuck off lol, he then got really angry and told me to turn it off, so I explained if I turn it off when it restarts I know that there will be alot of fire coming out the exhaust, ill leave it running.
Shove came to push I turned it off, almost ready to get out and bludgeon him with a petrol pump, said, yeah fine I will turn it off, but if this place goes up in flames on your head be it... I turned it off, mates got back in car, I started it back up and like clockwork it started spewing fire out the exhaust, I drove out and its still spewing flames out the exhaust, wound down the window and shouted "I told you so you C***!"
Anyways I the drove down into town, with high buildings, quite narrow and really echoes, car had calmed down slightly, but every 300 miles it would bog down for about a minute, cutout, bump itself throw a load of oil out and make the loudest backfire ever..... It did that in the high street, a good 300 people dropped to there knees with there hands over there heads, my mate in the car park almost went through his sunroof.
Whilst laughing it dawned on me, there was a bomb scare in town that day, everyone though something had exploded, so many people hated me that night for making them look like fools, worth it though |

What type 3 did you have? my first car was a brown squareback lol crap couldn't have described it better haha
It used to backfire, not quite as bad as yours though!!
Q: anyone know what makes an engine backfire? I never worked out why, but it went away after I change the s'plug's and did the timing. |
It was an unknown 69 Fastback on a 71 plate, I never could trace it to where it was built, what model it was as it was just an unknown car
I also had a 66 Sqaure which was originally a Pigalle (all red interior) and also had a 65 Fastback both have gone, but I still have my first one, its not looking good, but I am hoping to perhaps get something done with it this year before it gets seriously beyond repair. Plan is to get a semi decent floor pan in it, boxsection the heater channels, cut all the rust out of it and flat sheet it, and slap a big motor in it
Backfiring is usually caused by really bad fuelling as said, but if you turn the engine off with the throttle open, it will dump loads of fuel in, and when you restart it, it will ignite that fuel causing the flames and popping.
Over fuelling is the main cause of it, usually a bad setup or tune on it, or the timing could be out, loads of factors but the main is the fuel |

Fould out how ot do this the other day, brilliant at bus stops, when the chavs are there!
so enlighten me....
What harm would backfiring from the kill switch do??
I would suspect it would + carbon in the eignie, - spark plug life, and ruin exhaust?
Thanks |
