My car is shoting fire ok hi guys im new to this web site and im also kinda of new to my car. for some reason when i tested out my car it shot out flames from my exhaust on high rpms. Some of my friends told me that it might be doing that cuz i might be back firing or because my compression arent even. Does anybody know of any other reason why it might be doing that.

I know the ricers love it and it looks all grease lightening and stuff but that shouldent happen!! Some race cars flash during downshifting (? i dont know) but nothing like that. My guess is that RX7 is running rich after he getes off the throttle for some reason??? ID RATHER NOT REPAINT MY BUMPER!!
