Well I just got home from a not so good day. First off, I drive the car one block from the house, and I realize that I didnt torque down the wheels (one wheel was er... loose) So I parked it after driving half way, for fear of inflicting more damage than I had already caused. So I called home and had my mom bring me the tq wrench, after some struggle, I got the wheel up, screwed the nuts all the way in, and tq'ed all the wheels down. (only rear where loose).

So then my mom follows me to school, for fear if I inflicted damage. Well I just adjusted the valves yesterday, and the car runs like crap. No power (its at least a flat curve now.. I dont have my 3- 4.5 range hp, its now.. 1-5k but slower) Oh and hey, ITS BACKFIRING LIKE NO TOMORROW!!! I am royaly pissed at this point, and I have thus far given up on that piece of junk engine.

So I get to school, and I am really angry at the car. One of my friends is waiting for me, and another is gathering her stuff. So, what else do I do when I get mad? I make loud noises by banging things.. So my stupid me, I slam my door, the window is down, and the top is off, with a very big "BANG" my window litterally blows apart (from inside the door) and a cloud of glass erupts from the door. Suprisingly it is safety glass.

Therefore I didnt have much of a good day.

Anyone have any idea's on my backfiring problem? Or why it would do that after I adjusted my valves to 6 exhaust and 5 intake?(about)
