whats your setup?

 

the crank key?

 

it's a giant car show every saturday lol

 

2.4 n/a, over axle pipe, muffler. And gutted 2nd cat. That's it. A little hard to mod a car with a wife and baby to take care of. Haha

 

you 5sp or auto?

 

If your asking me then I'm 5 speed

 

Yeah, it's leaking a butt load of oil...

Also found something else that Quality Transmission INC didn't bolt down...


Came from the very front of the sub-frame. It won't thread back in because the threads are all messed up at the top. the same bolt on the other side of the car is extremely loose too, not even finger tightened... I left a message for them. I don't feel safe driving the car right now so they can send someone out here to fix it. We will see what they do about whether or not they get a good or bad review at this rate. Not to mention that my hood is all fucked up from them too...

 

Are these the guys that are supposed to be fixing all the ****-ups from the first transmission shop?

 

Damn Tyler sorry to hear about this

 

Yeah, they charged me for missing bolts too is part of the irony behind this... lol

Pretty sure they need to drop that charge at this point.

 

My ****** car keeps smoking

 

i kinda feel bad about reccomending QTI at this point....me and my pops NEVER had issues with them until that new guy took over...

 

What color is the smoke?

 

White...doesn't smell like coolant though

 

White coolant, Black Oil. Any other color besides those just mentioned would suggest a Unicorn is running rampant in your system.

You running any specific fuel?? Like E85 or race gas???

 

Sell me ur rims sundevil

 

Did my first Badmab header install,which will be my last.**** that header

 

No misfire? Could also be an injector leaking. Unless it's steam coming out the exhaust in stead of smoke.

 

Car is running on 91 octane

No misfires except for the occasional one at idle

It'd be nice if it was just condensation but idk where it would be coming from lol

Kind of a shot in the dark but do you guys think an exhaust leak could cause the smoke? Can a gasket be "burned" by the exhaust?

 

Dude that is insane! That is dangerous, I cant believe they would not check those or not tighten them enough. I would have their ass, if those would have came off while you were driving and the sub frame fall (if the engine mounts broke too) you could have seriously been injured.

Paper gaskets? Did you recently do exhaust work?

 

I installed a catless downpipe about a week ago. Using OEM gaskets. I did have a small leak at the downpipe to catback flange the night it started smoking but idk

 

Lol atleast you didn't have to do it twice in a row only to end up with the OEM exhaust manifold back on -_____-

 

Just to be on the safe side I would say pull the plugs and see if there's n e fuel, oil, or antifreeze on them. Just to rule out that u have no internal issuse causing the smoke. Also don't think an exhaust leak would cause smoke.

 

IIRC there was a lot of WHITE smoke on friday night at the track Jerry. I remember thinking about it, and Rhett and I thought maybe just clutch. but i guess not....Id do as said above. pull plugs check for fluids on the tip. possible even pull valve cover and check for things under there...

 

This blows, What in the hell do I do
