Hey Guys, sorry for being so distant... HECTIC at work...

I wanted to say\ask a few things.

We had a conversation ages ago about the hardness of the Novarossi inline pipe... IT IS HARD. I hit a wall last week (not concentrating) and the stinger caused the pipe to hit the front belt pulley shaft, it dented slightly, but I hit the wall HARD. I have not hit much, but I have been a little brutal, I have yet to break something, touch wood I dont, but the fact remains that this car is STRONG in our Climate here in SA.

My car does not seem to get into second gear, but the shoes are loose, any looser and it jams... come to think of it, it may be in second... it just need to check... Hope everyone is well!. leaned the engine out a little, it still smokes a lot, but it moves at a rate of knots, and the engine just goes faster. I am having a problem, the low-end needle is not set correctly, but I cant get it right, it just revs high, the idle is set to 1mm and it idles, for a bit, but then the revs climb, if I rev it, it revs, settles to idle, but then the revs climb again, I thought the low end wasto lean, so I turned it out, but then it dies when you rev, I am lost with this, any ideas?
