Hi Dan,

I hear what you say, its just that the banging and flames are abit 
annoying (and quite embarrassing at times!) and not what I expected - 
plus I hadnt heard of other 'Stage 1' cars doing it.  Driving through 
Nottingham, hearing very loud 'cracks' from the back of the car and 
then having Phill call me and say "do you know there are scarlet 
flames shooting out the back of your car?" did not inspire my 
confidence in the car....I've had enough problems with her over the 
years and that just made me even more nervous about driving it.

The fuel line was a prototype from what I remember, however I was 
unaware that they had been superceded - I've got an original back on 
my car now, I was just lucky that Chrispy had one handy and Richard 
was able to nip off and fetch it and fit it for me.

I remember my exhaust having a bit of putty slapped on it 3yrs ago 
when the exhaust first came off to do the manifold studs, so I guess 
its lasted pretty well all things considered. It is my intention 
though, if funds allow, to have it replaced with a stainless system 
later this year.

Hope you had a nice time in Chicago,

regards,

Claire
