Some nice chaps at work pulled the hub caps off my old mk 1 escort and
put some .45 bullets (the lead only) inside then I drove up a spiral
ramp from an underground carpark. works with any old car

Won't putting a balloon the exhause pipe cause the fumes to back up into
the cabin of car. It would kill the person.. but at least that is funny.

Freeze a can of shaving cream. When frozen, pry of the top and place in
victim's car. As it warms up, foam expands to fill the car.

My dad once fastened a kipper to the exhaust pipe of a wedding car.
It took the bride and groom ages to find what was making the smell!

You get a wobbly antenna, but only do it to your worst enemy, coz eventually
it snaps the antenna .

a few friends and i played a 'car prank' a few years ago while going to
south brisbane TAFE. a friend had parked in a nearby street and was
expecting to pick up his girlfriend from the airport later that day.
during the day at TAFE however, the electrical department was throwing
away it's old computer equipment, including backup reels. for anyone who
doesn't know, these reels were like video tape except slightly thicker and
about twice as wide. anyway, this guy just couldn't stop talking about
how good his girlfriend was, how much he missed her, how eager he was to
get out of tafe and head off to the airport. it was pissing everyone off.
so we tied his car to the parking meter. we wrapped his little vw in so
much of that computer reel crap, the only part of the car you could see
was the aerial! and the parking meter was covered all the way to the top.
when he came back to his car to go to the airport, he had about 2 minutes
to untie and uncut his car from the meter. i think he just made it before
the parking inspector came round the corner.
gosh, we were bastards.
well, that's my 2c worth.

I hear a few tie straps/zipy tie/cable ties (whatever you want to call them)
around the tailshaft can make a bit of noise while whizzing around the
transmission tunnel!
Also a few dollars taped to the tailshaft can cause a hell of a vibration!
Also a whistle from a party on the exhaust is amusing. Beware these whistle
things don't flow to well and are known to rocket out. The best setup that
I have used to date utilised a rubber-glove cable tyed to the exhaust, the
fingertips cut out and whistles cable tied in the ends! Didn't whistle
until around 3000rpm. . . interesting to drive through surburbia! ;-)

try jacking a car up off the ground and sit it on blocks with

far. Although conditions need to be just right. ie night or

This has only worked once at a party on a mates farm where

For a friend's wedding we really went to town on his car (HQ Kingswood):
1. Cheese slices on the exhaust manifold. Cooks in 2 minutes.
2. Fish fingers in the hub caps. Become very small pieces in 5km.
3. Fish head (large) wired on top of muffler. Cooks in 20 min.
4. Spray of flour in the street directory. Ends on lap in 6 months.

At work we got a large syringe (filled with water) and a thin piece of
teflon tube that we worked between the boot rubber on this guys car and
proceeded to squirt water into his boot. We only ever did this on fine
days with no clouds insight, we kept it up all through summer. Every
morning tea he would complain about water getting in his boot, we'd go
through theories with him on how this could happen, were the sprinklers
spraying the car during the day, was it condensation? Finally we had to
tell him what we had done when he locked himself in the boot, with a
torch, while he got us to hose the boot down with water!
Cheers,
Paul.

This prank would only be relevant to you people out there living in perth.
Well this victim of mine was a friend and he was on his way to visit his
girlfriend. Just before he went I stuck on a sign at the back of his car near
the boot saying 'Yagans Head is inside'. He didn't get to see it as his car
was parked in his garage which was pretty dark at the back and there was
poor lighting.
Anyway she lived in Balga..
I know it wasn't funny prank but I found it quite humorous that he still
doesn't know to this day that I stuck a sign on the back of his car. and also
that he came back saying that all these aboriginal people where shouting
and giving rude signs to him.

We used to do this at school.
It got to a point where one guy (the one with the crappy XD Fairmont
wagon with rust, bog & moove containers for bodywork plus a 350hp 351C
that his insane father put in it) got a 12v bilge pump, running on 24v,
and had a hose sticking out the window. It could empty your normal
laundry bucket in about 10 seconds, which made the kids standing at the
bus stops very wet ... ;-)

I had some mates who were in army signals, and their landrovers had the
exhaust mounted forward, so the signallers in the back wouldn't get
gassed. If you turned these cars off, then on again, you'd get a beaut
backfire.
So these fellas liked going through the maccas drivethrough quite a

How about watemelon skins under the drive wheels? Car just sits there and
wheels spin.
A piece of bicycle tubing over the exhaust.
Potato shoved up the exhaust.
Rewire the horn to the indicators.
Someone I know was transporting beehives in his car one night and was so tired
he had to stop for a kip. He woke up in the morning covered in bees.

I did the same thing to a guy once, he was taking the car to a
prospective sucker buyer and was hoping that a slight problem with the
transmission would not get worse. He put it in gear and nothing
happened, he tried all gears and revved and tried everything! His face
was a picture! ROTFL!!!

Car Pranks, You wanna hear a car prank? ok
This little prick from school (going back about 3 years now) thought it
might be funny to put a full McDonalds Thickshake on top of my roof upside
down, so when I picked it up it would go all over my roof.
Yeah ok, I'm one to take a joke, but not when you fuck with my car.
So I found out he was having a basketball game one night, and he drove his
car there. Me and 2 of my friends threw a jar of Beetroot, Vegimite, tomato
sauce, a couple of PAL dog food, some lard, tinned spagetti, cordial,
vinigar, and a whole heap of other shit, then topped it all off with about
5 bags of 1kg flour.
But then when I check out my "Pro Hart" Job, it just wasn't enough. So we
went and bought a couple of big macs, and a thickshake. Ditched the big
Macs all over the front window, and then Carfully placed the thickshake on
his roof like he did to me, Upside down and full.
The stench made me dry reach bad.
Dumb shit saw his car, and started crying, all his mates were there also
laughing thier heads off. And of course you gotta see his face expression
so I hid around the corner in my mates car and watched. I still laugh aout
it today.
And he even told his dad. His old man came over to my place to tell me off,
instead I kicked the wanker out and told him where to go.

Another prank. If you wanna call it that.
My friends Girlfriend parked her car at our hang out pizza shop, and they
went out with his car.
Anyway there was about 5 of us, and were really bored, so first we moved
her car onto the foot path. Then I had to go for a piss, so I pissed on her
bonnet, my mate then pissed all over her drivers side door handle, and made
a fountain to the roof. My other mates followed siut and pissed everywhere
else that was dry.
It fucking stunk boy. So I started to dry reach, and fuck it, I pucked all
over her bonnet. We fucked off after that, I was still feeling sick, but
was taking deep breaths, and controlled the rest of the puke from comming
out.
I heard a couple of days later that she was so pissed off, because she knew
it was us, and told my mate who was going out with her that she didn't want
to see him anymore.
I believe we done him a favour, she was an ugly shocker anyway.

I used to live in a block of flats in Perth and the guy next door was
extremely proud of his tricked up Monaro with metallic flake paint etc etc.
Unfortunately, a drunken bozo a couple of floors down scraped the side of
said Monaro with his Landcruiser LWB.
Bad mistake, because Andrew (the guy next door) worked for one of those
house insulating companies that squirts rapid-setting foam into cavity
walls. Andrew brought the truck around one night, ran the hose in through
the sunroof of the Landcruiser and filled it with insulating foam, which
then set solid. Now, that was funny!

I like that one!
My father got some of that stuff once, to do a small wall. Mixed it
together in a bucket...(didn't read the instructions very
carefully)..next thing you see is him flying through the house clutching
an erupting bucket. He slammed it down on the lawn and stood at a safe
distance, watching it do its thing.
Years later, a large lump of foam was still sitting around the yard, the
bottom of it bucket-shaped.

Reminds me of my mate Bugga who taught me to backfire my Valiant (dual
exhausts). They tell me that the orange flames could be seen (and
heard!) for a kilometre. One day he took the car through the McCarpark
backfiring (it's Mc again - eerie coindence isn't it?) for about 10
minutes. Trouble was, Thursday night in the middle of Fairfield shopping
centre, and Mc is 100m from the Police! They heard the blasting, came
charging out, and then some idiot reported that we were blasting a
shotgun out the window.
Cut to my joint - 30 cops in 15 vehicles waiting for me with guns - us
spreadeagled being searched on the road in front of my neighbours,
defect notices and charges all round.

Reminds me of the time I got into an egg fight with another motorist.
Their car reeked of eggs in the vents for months, and one of my shots

then a few weeks later do the same thing except take the car and park

then promptly shits themself when the cars not there.

Some fellows at work some years ago came racing back into the office,
giggling like maniacs.
They'd done up a sign saying "honk if you support gay rights" and stuck it
on a bloke's car (on the passenger side) who is not particularly
sympathetic to gay rights.
He found the sign about a week later, and we all got to see it...very good
indeed.

I don't want to sound like a party-pooper but puke contains stomach acids
and so can damage the paint. If you're only playing a prank damaging the
paint is going a bit far - making the car look like the food selection at
sizzler is ok though.
Of course if some prat has really damaged a car - eg, a friend had his
tyres stabbed - then paint a hand doing the finger or write on the prat's
car in brake fluid. BTW brake fluid is a 'real' paint stripper.

That reminds of an incident I witnessed on a four lane road a couple of
months ago. I was passed by a Datsun who was being followed closely by a
late model Falcon. The larger car was obviously trying to intimidate him
and stuck close to his tail. A little way up ahead the Datsun floors it
(Falcon does same) but when he (Datsun) takes his foot off the gas a 1.5
metre flame shoots out of his exhaust! I could almost see the point at
which the Falcon driver shit his pants as the jet of flame entered his
grill. That sure cured him of tailgaiting as he hung well back for the
rest of the way.

For a friend's wedding we really went to town on his car (HQ Kingswood):
1. Cheese slices on the exhaust manifold. Cooks in 2 minutes.
2. Fish fingers in the hub caps. Become very small pieces in 5km.
3. Fish head (large) wired on top of muffler. Cooks in 20 min.
4. Spray of flour in the street directory. Ends on lap in 6 months.

In my youth i used to go down the major roads at night... Sit in a tree near
a late model parked commo or falcon and light my camera flash..... 99% hit
the brakes (why, i don't know... they have been booked (so they think)) and
i'd say 30 come back to look and check... got chased home three times by
angry drivers though ;-)

They can get flicked up and get wrapped around the axle. A friend who
is in the pest control business has had a few jobs where people have run
over snakes and have returned home to find a pissed of snake emerging
from the bottom of there car.

Yeah, I've heard similar stuff, and I HATE snakes a lot, and want to kill
them, but am worried about bits of them ending up under the car!
Some years ago, a colleague at a country CES had a snake take up residence
in her engine (cold area, warm engine).
It was a black snake, and some of the office blokes tried prodding it etc
but it stayed put.
so they called the local cop (and the local press turned up, too) and he
poured a jug of hot water over it.
It came out like a scalded snake, and the cop beat it to death with the
office broom, and had his photo taken with the snake hanging off the broom
like a trophy.
In the country, they have a very sensible attitude to snakes (yes, we know
they are protected etc but they *are* snakes...).

Remionds me of a story I heard a little ago about someone with either a
Sud or a 33 at an Alfa event of some description. Toilets were way away
from the car was parked, so a quick spin over the to the loo. Come out,
start up, and snap goes the timing belt. A mouse had taken up residence
in the timing belt cover and got sandwiched between the belt and the
pulley. Result: blood and guts all over the place, and a few bent
valves.

hmm... Another few pranks i read about while surfing...
Usual (think it has been said) of horn to brake lights.. rock in hub cap...
but
lots of BIG cable(zip) ties on the prop shaft...... nice noise it
produces....really pisses the driver off....
Another one i have thought of but never actually had the courage to do...
Doggie poos in the air vents.....turn on the heat and whamoo....stinkys...
(for less daring replace dog crap with confetti or feathers.....
Another: get a tin and fill with brake fluid, then tie it to the exhaust
manifold/exhaust with wire and punch a small hole... Engine warms up and
smokes like crazy....could the rings be shot????? nope... your a victim of a
car prank....
Another: stickers (lots) and car windscreen.. add the two... (paper hard to
remove type the best.....
These are but a few.... I hope to remember/think of some more....

Nah, just get up a good speed and instead of slowing down for the
snake the snake aim straight at him and then just before you hit him
jump on the brakes and lock up all four tyres for 5ft or so. No chance
of the snake being caught up in the pipe work under your car.

Another use for a bicycle tube is to tie a 30cm length of tube to the
open end of the exhaust. When the engine is running especially if the
accellerator is floored the tube makes a noise like a truck engine.

Ha!
I was told a true story of a guy driving an old 4WD, ran over a black
snake, thought nothing of it, later pulled into a servo, lifted the
bonnet only to get the snake lung at him within the engine bay!!
Another one was a wombat ripping the whole tire/suspension off it's
housing after being hit at 90 to 100km's.
One more?
Hitting a Kangroo on its hop up, legs through the winscreen, still
kicking, badly injurying the driver.
So think about that when you go to hit an animal!! Ya Bastards. Although
cute pussy cats only buff your under car components. :)

Hi Ant,
Try using your car to kill an eel, then.
While fishing one day, we accidently caught a gigantic eel. We didn't
know how to kill it, so we tried running over it (didn't work) and then
doing burnouts on it. The result of this was a flying eel doing about
70km/h through the group of us.
I'm with you on my appreciation for long legless reptilian appearance
creatures, and the horror of the flying eel coming at us is now burned
into my consciousness.
Cheers,
The Wog

Yeah, something about McProducts that really make a mess of cars. Some
stupid woman cut me off while I was eating a McSundae, so I chased her,
caught her and threw a big heaped spoonful of the sundae over her car.
It ran EVERYWHERE and she couldn't see a thing out of the car. It no
doubt ran through the air vents and make a fuck of a stench when it
rotted in the heat over the next few days. Most successful road rage
retaliation ever. Couldn't have caused her more inconvenience if I ran
her into a telegraph pole.

with the smoke screen. Set up a second windscreen washer, with the tube
routed into the carby. Instead of washer fluid, it carried either
dieseline or Spitfire. Either way, it spewed out the thickest smoke
screen you've ever seen. The tailgater not only couldn't see his car or
breath, he had no idea where he was going, which fucked them if there
happened to be any bends in the road. Highly effective.

If you have a carby (pref. running leaded petrol) then you have the
technology required. Manual transmission works best.
You lift off the gas and switch the engine off for 2 seconds in 3rd gear
@ 60km/h. Give a short quarter squirt with the accelerator, wait 1 sec
and then restart engine. That gives the time for the unburnt petrol to
enter the muffler, and the burning gasses when restarted ignite the
petrol in the muffler. Orange flame and ferocious boom result. It takes
experimentation, so don't be surprised if the first few attempts result
in weak "pops" or nothing.
Warning:
- Will almost certainly blow your muffler sooner or later (it's so
addictive that you can't stop until you do destroy something). Advanced
backfirers fit reinforced stainless steel mufflers.
- A split muffler with the split pointing straight up will probably set
fire to something in the car. (My flatmate burnt through his wooden
underlay, and then his carpet in the back of the station wagon, as well
as the airbed and half his luggage during our Qld trip in 1988).
- If you're very unlucky and the detonation occurs within the engine
(caused by restarting too early) you can break a piston. (Happened to my
Valiant, but it was worth it).
Rotaries produce very good results and are harder to destroy backfiring.

Oh dear. I am *sorely* tempted to try this! But am sure Suzuki did not
intend the Vitara to be used thus, and so will probably result in the
below-listed fates.

Oh, bloody hell!!!!
I know *that's* expensive.
Hmmm. my sister has left her horrible old Renault here for a few weeks.
It's carburetted, manual AND eats leaded.
And it's such a rooted old bomb that even if you blew up the exhuast and
broke a piston, no one would know the difference.
It's summernats time, so they'd probably think it was some kind of
stealth street machine (or anti street machine more like!) with a really
horrible souped-up engine.
I'll have to think about this.

Daewoo..) They are there to blind / piss off tailgaters. Of course its only
effective if the light is NOT left on all the time.
Perhaps you could look into getting one of the rear fog lights fitted to
the Vitara - especially if you fit a brighter bulb! Say 100 watts?

Richard R.

It actually comes with them already fitted. I've never used them (I
mean, really!), but tonight I shall have a look and see if they're any
good for such purposes.
I'm still dreaming of a Cibie Oscar, rear mounted...

A clever variation on this is to hook up four spotlights on the rear of your
soft-top four wheel drive, vertically mounted two to a side and hidden under
the canvas. When someone's tailgating you, put your foot down after you go
round a bend then have a friend lift the canvas while you switch the lights on.
The tailgater hurtles round the pair and suddenly finds a glaring pair of
vertically mounted twin headlamps coming at him - at just the right height for
a semi!
(Be careful though, my friend Ray was the originator of this trick but
unfortunately for him he played it once too often... his last victim was an
unmarked police car...)

Hmmm! I saw an old Hilux with some large spotties fitted on the roof!
That's not you, perchance?

Ha Ha Ha Ha. Hilarious. The idiot tailgaiting you swings off the road to
avoid a head on collision and smashes into a tree and kills himself, his
wife and three kids. Or better still, swerves into actual oncoming traffic
or nearby pedesrtians and kills someone else. Soooooooo Funny.
Tailgaiters are idiots, no doubt, but do they - and perhaps other innocent
people - deserve to die?
Car pranks (or any pranks) aren't funny if they are dangerous.
Your friend Ray - and any other person who does this - is a fuckwit.

The funniest thing he's ever done was drive home late one night after doing a
double shift (20 hours straight). He pulled into his garage (metal, unpainted
on the inside) and promptly fell asleep, leaving the engine running and the
lights on. He woke up a couple of minutes later, having forgotten where he was
and saw the gleam of headlights beaming back at him, thought he'd fallen asleep
at the wheel, screamed, hit the brakes and pissed himself. Only problem was, he
was still stationary in his garage and the lights were reflecting off the shiny
metal wall!
(His wife told me about this - she made sure all his friends knew about it.)
I've haven't seen him in some years now as I now live in the UK, but he was
always full of schemes (like the rear-mounted spots) that never quite worked
and always backfired on him. He was always good for a laugh so that made up for
him being an f-wit.

Trouble with unleaded is that the catalytic converter will catalyse most
of the unburnt petrol, which reduces the explosion. Don't worry - it can
only cope with so much of this before the volume of raw petrol
eventually destroys the catalyst so that you can have the pleasure of
spewing out as many emissions as the rest of us.
Also, if you split your catalyst, you're looking at thousands for the
replacement rather than the hundreds a muffler would cost.

This is an oversight on their part. You should be able to specify
reinforced stainless steel muffler on the options list, and stuff like
the 7th injector mounted in the exhaust manifold (read "5th" for people
with only 4 cylinders)

Yes, which produces clouds of acrid black smoke. The only thing worse is
setlling fire to a mattress (as we did in this manner, coming home from
Qld). It burns the polyurethane to make cyanide gas, which is bad for
your health. Problem was solved by putting the burning mattress on the
roof at a servo, and then dropping the clutch out of there. Should have
seen them running after us!

actually i've been playing around with this idea on my mind- they can
act as both lights for reversing, and also warning lights for
tailgaters! u can make a switch for it to be turned on manually in
adddtion to the auto turning on by the reverse gear, so that u can flash
it at tailgaters to warn them. better still- use flash lights for this
particular purpose!!

Auto Exhaust Flame Thrower

Auto Exhaust Flame Thrower by The Jolly Roger
For this one, all you need is a car, a sparkplug, ignition wire and a
switch. Install the spark plug into the last four or five inches of the tail
pipe by drilling a hole that the plug can screw into easily. Attach the
wire (this is regular insulated wire) to one side of the switch and to the
spark plug. The other side of the switch is attached to the positive
terminal on the battery. With the car running, simply hit the switch and
watch the flames fly!!! Again be careful that no one is behind you! I have
seen some of these flames go 20 feet!!!

I'm not having a go at you but am just curious how it works after
pondering how the extra injector works on a turbo setup.

Well, Nearly.. To make this go you need slightly differant wiring.
The reason this will not work is a spark plug needs a lot of voltage
to make a spark, the 12v from your car bat will not do anything at
all.
What you need to do is run the wire from your last cylinder or your
worst cylinder, or, if you have a rotary on the 'T' coil high tension
lead.
Doing this WILL reduduce the performance of your car slightly becasue
carbon from the exhaust will gum the rear plug and thus short the lead
you are stealing power from after a while.
The instructions are now then:
1: Screw a spark plug into your exhaust about 1 - 2 foot from the end
(before the muffler will even work)
2: Run a witre from the top of the plug to a switch or Normally Open
button on your dash (well insulated PLASTIC one.. the shock can be
nasty)
3: Run a wire from the other end of the switch or button to the top of
the last spark plug in your car (or the second coil in a rotary may
also work)
4: Wind the mixture right up, you'll get a flat spot and flood a bit,
you may go through more petrol, but, that is the piont.
5: Press your button or flip the switch while SLOWING DOWN IN GEAR and
it'll go boom.
Welp.. I don't have to worry about that..
I just slow down from 70kph by putting it into second and reving it
down and I get a huge boom (easilly audable for 1 1/2k) and a 1-2M
flame running UNLEADED! (I have a Mazda RX-4, Rotary Engine powered)

Catalytic converters? Just take them out.. run a little kerosine (in
VN commodores that is) and it'll blow flames all day :)
I have a rotary.. I run Unleaded.. I can blow bigger flames than just
about anyone..

First thing you do when you get a car is remove any anti-pollution
garbage that will only break down and end up harming the environment
more in the long term anyway and make it LOUD!
Make it louder and louder and so loud you have to yell, then, if it is
too loud, you are too old!
Then when you have done that, shooting flames is sinch.. adding a few
bottled of octane additive also helps :)

The computer knows when you lift-off, so with low throttle and
low-enough revs, it injects into the exhaust manifold. Runs off a
different circuit to the other injectors.

possible to go to a wreckers, buy and injector and run fuel to it, earth
it, and have power running to it via a button in the cabin. Is it that
simple?
Also, why do turbo systems have the extra injector, is it somthing
about igniting the fuel makes the turbo keep spinning after taking the
foot of the go-pedal, or what?

Well, yes & no. Firstly, I'm pretty sure injectors don't take a
particularly high voltage, and you'll definitely break them running 14.4
volts through them. Secondly, they only stay open a really short amount
of the time; if you do this, it'll be open the whole time you're holding
the button down, and that will absolutely NOT WORK in most cases
(because the amount of fuel is supposed to be regulated, not going at
the full capacity of the injector). ie. it will flood the engine.

It's highly illegal, for both emissions and noise reasons. So you can
only do it while racing (usually rallying), and yes; it keeps the turbo
spinning at a high rate while you take your foot off the load pedal (eg.
Neal Bates' rally Celica had over 400Nm of torque at idle).

It wouldn't be a constant set-up. More likely activated by something
like a starter button, so you can control the volume of petrol while the
car's switched off.
How do they work it on turbo / blown cars? Surely it wouldn't run all
the time, esp. while running on light throttle? I would think it only
cuts in when the car senses boost, either through the ECU or perhaps
from a mechanical boost detection switch? Or is it activated by the
airflow meter detecting a certain minimum amount of air flow?

Yes, there's nothing inherently about unleaded that makes it not
backfire well, it's just the catalytic that gets in the way. No
converter, no problem.
Makes it a bit hard to get rego with a big hole where their catalytic
used to be, with VN's doesn't it? That's why I prefer to use leaded
vehicles for this sort of behaviour.
I'm wondering why you use unleaded? Is there something about rotaries
that gets clogged up by lead (people told me to use unleaded in my
2-strokes).
