Will this clear the weeds from my driveway ?

The whole street I should think!

Heh heh! It works by cutting the ignition - thus flooding the exhaust with unburned mixture - then it fires the spark plugs in the tail pipe! But - you have to buy two plugs and two coils (why two??) in addition to the kit - so what exactly DO you get with the kit ??? Seems like a load of nonsense to me!

Ive thought of a flamer kit ¬_¬ but you only get about 6 inch flame from a morris minor,instead of a 6ft flame from a bigger engine

If its only 6" surely wouldn't that burn the end of the car? and rather dangerous as almost under the fuel tank!

Lol yes thats why i didnt have it even tho i have a side exiting exsaust,but the morris minor engine is to small for a flamer kit,you need a minium of a 1.6 litre to make it work right.that ebay advert is a lie.

Reminds me of bombing down the high street in Tunbridge Wells with the ignition off just to flick it back on at the bottom to scare the people coming out the station with an almighty backfire. I bet you'll all give it a go now!

It certainly finished off the manky old exhaust on that car!

Killswitch backfires are well fun, especially in tunnels
