Discussion and technical advice the SW20 MR2. 3S-GTE, 3S-GE, 3S-FE etc
Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
Ive still got mine and after reading all the worries of it exploding i had an idea,Place it in a tub of water over night and after that the bu88er aint going to explode......warning im no scientist so when it dries out it might be a angry flare,,,,who knows?
We lit my flare from the tubby before sending it to the breakers..... There not much good tbh, I wasnt very impressed. Then again i was expecting some big firework display.
I've got it on video too lol
Took no chances, heres rob suited up ready to get the flare on the go
not sure whether to take mine out or not. probably should in case it explodes
Could have it on a remote so if any pikey steals the car they wont be able to see very much
GLOL!!!
All this talk of 'exploding'!! It's a flare not a rocket!!
All I can imagine is bright plummes of coloured smoke, not New Years Day celebrations! BANG!... not!
As long as you dont play with it they are fine just be aware of the expirey date before using it properly and make sure you put the sleeve on the end cap so your not holding the actual flare and dont burn your hand off.
Okay if its in your car and un touched then it should be fine.
Its closed and you have to open it then remove the striking cap then strike the top.
The whole thing about it exploding was down to a time expired flare we used and it just burnt through in about 20 seconds instead of the 10 minutes its rated for Think roman candle rather than signal flare
so please calm down and dont worry its not gonna explode through driving.
