    sometimes between gears whilst driving it within an inch of its life my car backfires/pops....is that a sign of things to come or could it just be over fueling?

    could be either ign timing slightly off, or a buggered zaust silencer baffle. I've had both problems casue a few pops on my old 8v :)
