[TR] The big bang

[John Dunham]

Exactly as you describe - the harder I drive the louder the bang... I am
sure there is a joke in there somewhere... I guess if there is a flame
shooting out the exhaust that is pretty cool & I can live with it...
Thanks!

My old TR3 racecar used to do that. The harder I ran it before shutting
down, the louder the bang. I call it an afterfire since it came out the
exhaust. I figgered it was unburned fuel igniting from the exhaust heat.

Thought it was kinda cool.
