Default Did the backfire hack on my friend's car, now it has trouble starting up

Hey guys I did the backfire hack on my friend's car (
)

I revved it to 3k and turned it off and turned it back on for pops but now whenever the car tries to start up it takes a while and it idles rough.

I feel pretty bad about it but I haven't told him it was me, I just said it started doing that.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

I have seen that bend a valve and ruin an engine.

You are literally setting off a bomb in the exhaust system.

Y'know, there are a lot of people who don't have a clue what they're doing out there with Zs aren't there? I'm so serious about just selling mine and disassociating myself from these idiots. Ehhhhh.

this thread makes me sad, not even OP's car and not even going to tell his friend that he damaged his car.

I hope this fad does out, who thinks fake *** overfender "wide bodies", popping exhausts/flame throwers or stretched tires are a good idea or functional in any sort of ****ing way. Literal Neanderthals, and ****ing sheep lol.

Can't decide which is dumber, OP for doing that to his friend's car or me for wasting 8 minutes of my life watching these two dumbf*cks on that video?

Do stupid things, win stupid prizes OP. I'm sorry but why would you even think about doing that in a car that isn't yours? I've seen so many people do these types of things and I've warned many Z owners to never do this but they usually hit me with the "It won't do anything" or "You don't know what you're talking about." Its common sense you're basically telling the car to do work at the same time as telling it to turn off. Try running super fast and instantly falling asleep and waking up again.

Again there are so many degenerate Z owners on Youtube that do some of the dumbest things ever. Especially the 350z memes on instagram.

Did I just get cancer?


you blew your friends motor up..
most likely burnt a valve or 24.

Loss of compression is causing his hard start . lost of compression caused by burnt valves..
burnt valves caused by you being an idiot.

Some people's children.

We should change the name of this site to, "MY350Z.com, ricers f*** off!".

Yep. Have "your friend" take it to someone who knows what they're doing and tell him you'll foot the bill.

fleabag2 probably isn't real. He just joined the Forum and begins his membership with a strange story (his first post).
