Factory built cars maintained/modified by the owner/buyer are no longer really factory built🤷🏾‍♂️

 

Absolutely.

 

And I've seen what I'd call dangerously bodged cars that have somehow made it through IVA.

I think the reality is that most track day operators need to make everyone wear a suit. There can be no argument over home built vs factory built then.

 

We have all seen photos of factory built exotics that have burst into flames on the public road.

 

We have all seen the pictures of home built stuff bursting into flames too.

 

The reality is that any car put on a track is being stressed and that always leads to incidents of mechanical failure one of which is the fuel systems.

 

Regarding fuel lines and home built. I really think that with more people with no spanner time having a go at building we should at least make sure any advice on this forum regarding fuel systems comes from experienced people.
