ive been through some ups and downs with this car but im sick of this now. as some of you know i recently converted from auto to manual but i have to say i dont even want to drive it anymore. thats a real first.

the whole thing feels disjointed clunky, im pretty sure the turbos have shit the bed i took it out tonight and it stinks of oil and chucks out white smoke when it feels like it. every time you pull away it rattles and feels like it wants to stall. i can honestly say two weeks ago i had a very solid auto jdm zed. now if im totally honest i have a smokey piece of rattley shit. i need help or im gonna burn the thing to the floor.

Sorry to hear it mate, be able to give you a hand next week once I've put mine back together.

oh god whats wrong with yours?

Don't give up mate. You'll get there. If you were a bit closer I'd have given you hand.

I'm changing the interior to black, finally decided to bin the blue stuff. Need to fit the new injectors but not had a chance yet.

ahh, not too bad then. i think ive actually ruined this car now.

I'm sure it's repairable mate, even if we limp it to Jimmers place. Try and get a video up. It's probably something simple

i think your right but because i dunno where to go im loosing the will. im happy to graft on if i know where to go, but atm ive got halkf a dozen niggles and im not totally convinced theryre not all connected or products of eachother. :s ohhhh so confused and frustrated. oh and rob mat edid you get my text?

We can get it sorted mate. Get Gaz and Phil over too and we'll crack it out.

 

Don't think I got the text mate no! Signal at home can be pretty shit.

Don't make me come and slap ya bud I'm sure we can suss it all out we always do

right latest development i haven't had much time tonight, my mate has just had a baby so i gotta go meet him. anyways, ive run the engine back upto temp, the smoke doesnt appear on idle only above 1500 blips. once held above that for a period longer than a minute or so the smoke clears again. looking at the exhaust the tail pipes have a fine moisture residue all over them as if its a cold day and its vapor clearing. i also popped off both the rad cap and oil filler cap no smeg and no bubbles steam etc. i do however have the cat overheat light displayed. which seeings as i dont have cats is weird? its defiantly a white smoke it looks and behaves exactly like vapor. but continues once warm and has a strong oil smell.

seem to remember that if the wires that used to go to the cat temp sensors touch teh chasis then the light comes on, you may have moved them when doing teh conversion

small update, took off the intercooler hoses, the far left one ie drivers side. has black deposits the other 3 are literally eat your dinner clean. if this indicates anything in particular?

the induction system can have small deposits in, id be worried if they are excessive like mine where, are your PCV valves clean, how bad is the smoke, a little isnt much of an issue.
