Default Serious problems with h22a4

Ok so just about everything that could go wrong has went wrong.

Tuesday i hit the straight away that we run the cars on and registered 140mph, everything seemed fine, the car ran fine all the way home.

I developed what i thought was a oil leak the next day, it was actually just oil i had spilt smoking and the car was a bit low so i thought it was a leak

so that night i washed the entire engine bay to clean it so i could spot the leak, i think this is where i messed up

The following day the car starts messing up, acting like it has water in the fuel, or is not getting enough fuel, and i finally drive it until its running normal again and i head for the shop, ofcourse when i get there everything is back to normal, i leave and i dont make it 2 miles before my clutch burns out, so i tow it home and pull the engine, replace the clutch, find that one of the springs in the old clutch popped out and killed the rest of the clutch, so we put the tranny back on and drop the engine back in, Also weld a new flex pipe in where the old one had been destroyed, the clutch acts up a bit but we get it straightened out, the car is making the noise again and acting like it had water in the gas, so i drive it around for a bit, it straightens up and i throw my stuff in the car to head back home. I make it a few miles and it starts acting up again, and shuts off, we find that the main wire in the spark plug wire set has broke, and i change it out, the noise keeps going but the car is moving, so i try to drive it to see if it clears anything up, i make it another 2 miles before i have no power at all, and pull over, when i put my hazard lights on i notice that theres smoke outside the back of my car, i go out to look, the rear bumper is on fire and my exhaust is glowing red. I believe that the noise/trouble with the car and glowing exhaust are hand in hand, any suggestions?
