Night drifting with spark tyres

[catchafox]

So i got sick of drifting in the dark so i wired up some led's inside my cones and heres the results, theres also some pics of the spark tyres i made too which was bloody hard to take a pic of.

Rising a dead topic but how did you make the spark tires?

[catchafox]

u can buy tyres with sparks in them which are crappy, i brought a survival flint(trade me) that when you strike it sparks, cut it into 5mm lengths (with massive sparks whilst cutting) then drill holes into the tyres the same size as the rod and push them in, with 8 of them in each wheel theres continuous sparks like your drifting on metal rims very cool. hope that helps

[iggy]

ahh that sounds sick/!

[aaronrandom]

those cones look mean. thought about doing that b4 but never really got around to it lol. want to try night drifting. like light up clipping points and stuff

[catchafox]

ive made 8 with orange cones and made another 8 with green cones i often pratice with them in the street with the lights of the car it does look cool. Ive got no problems using them for a group night drift at some stage.

I've seen those bad boys go, it's very impressive.
Like the 3-racing ones x 20
Hmmmm , what if you could get gun powder in there somehow too....
could prolly get some mean smoke going melt the tyres...lol

hell yeah thats the way to do it, those 3racing ones look good but dont spark near enuf. What about those yokomo rubber drift wheels that have the plastic rings that go around them, try n make a shim style washer out of flint that sits next to a ring? perhaps

[catchafox]

i dont think it would be that easy to get the flint material the same size as the wheel and then lathe it into a washer but there would be massive sparks while cutting it!! Ive tried putting titanium and magnesium strips into the wheels to get different colour sparks, the magnesium gave of a bright white light, that was cool And as you know dave getting smoke coming out is a difficult thing and you do risk burning you car to the ground

haha yeah dude seen many videos on youtube with guys trying to make smoke and nek minnut....body got a big hole. i have seen one vid where they did a great job of smoke and was safe for the car. il try to find it again and post up the link. also when i watched it over a year ago i searched up their blog and saw how they did it. il try find their blog again. if i find that vid then il be able to find the blog fairly easily.
