whats with the PUFF?!

Postby Tagged » Thu Feb 17, 2011 11:23 pm

Was driving home from work today, came up to a right turn so I down gear to 3rd with rev-match. Right at the instant I rev it up I heard a loud PUFF, sounds like its from the mid section of the car, what is this??

thanks

Was there any smoke out the back? If so, did you see what colour it was?
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

lol magn1t doesnt stand a chance to diagnose problems anymore
The four seasons in Australia consist of "$&#$% it's hot", "Can you believe how $&#$% hot it is?", "I won't be in today because it is too $&#$% hot" and "Yes, the dinner plate size spiders come inside to escape from the heat."
