    Track the angle of the car via a game attribute
    Constrain that angle to a particle angle game attribute

    Connect the particle angle to the actor angle using the constrained attributes.

    Its basic...
    constrain your cars X and Y values to a game attribute as well as its rotation angle.
    Constrain a new actor to that X and Y location containing your particle effects. Set the particle effects angle to the cars angle. Play around with the particle settings until it looks right. Set the particle "follower" actor to "NOT VISIBLE" in its graphics attributes.

    Make the particle actor visible when you want it to show up via a controlSwitch attribute. Make it not visible when you don't.

    If this doesn't make sense...sounds like you need to spend some time watching the tutorial movies and playing around with some of the basic principles first.
