As titled, is it possible to get the 180's flaming with standard exhaust ? apparently, when i over took this lupo GT last night, i had a nice blue flame when i changed gear ? obviously i couldn't see it as i was driving but the driver of the lupo swore it had a flame.
'' f*****g hell mate, that 206 is fast, how did you get it to flame ''
thanks for the feedback in advance (:

It's unburnt fuel thats igniting from the heat of the exhaust.

i dont think he was taking the p**s, i mean, if you just got killed by a 206, why would you start taking the p**s ? lol + im only going by what he was saying

Hmm, I don't know lol,
If I got beat by a 206 I would be highly surprised if I was in my VTS and would just think it was boosted or reasonably modded in the case of a 180 lol.
But seriously, maybe you drove over a superkings blue (I don't smoke) packet and the reflection from main beam = blue flame like shape? LOL
As above though if you want flamage, get a full exhaust / decat and run some decent fuel through the lines

I paid £1400 for this year on my 180. I was 18 when I started it, 19 now. Supposed to drop to £1000 come renewal time in April.
EDIT: Fully comp, 5k miles per annum, living in country in lowest risk postcode, student at University, both parents named on policy, car stays on driveway overnight.
