Got a replacement for Ol' Smoky....
Meh... It's stock, but about 4K on a reman, and it was cheap, should get me through the summer (Shim it up !!!, lol). The good stuff will happen when the weather gets cold again...
My turbo just went bad... Blue puff of smoke on decelleration, shaft play, etc... Black smoke is usually unburned fuel... A good tune up with nice spark plugs/wires maybe???
The back, the front, the sides, inside, outside, the people rubbernecking trying to catch a peek, the Honda kids running for cover... There's not a whole lot not to like, except the maze of wires and hoses when you open the hood....
OK, this is a little perplexing. I have a good puff of smoke at decelerated stop... once or twice out of 10 stops. About 1200 miles on rebuilt engine, 5-30 synthetic blend, no other signs of failure other than a turbo with a small amount of shaft play.
I was thinking turbo, or BOV...
I've watched a few of the how to's on you tube, but they are all on cars with nice looking tint, not the 10 year old barney looking, petrified crap....
The doors were easy, the quarters were a pain just because of the contorting you have to do... I just gotta hunker down and take my time.... or...
Just did this (except the back glass) a few weeks ago... so much nicer.... Gotta get some warmer weather to attempt the backglass to make it go a little faster...
I may be wrong, but my neighbor sold a car just like this last summer to a guy in No. California.... It could be the same car... It's about what he sold it for...but then again, he says he's the second owner. If this is the car, it would make him the third...
I'll check with a couple of guys I have down here to see if they want to switch to aftermarket. Give me a couple days here to get in touch with them....
Seattle area spots a couple come to mind....
El Gaucho (Hi end Steak House.)
Dick's Drive-In (Good ole' fashioned Gut-bomb burgers !!!)
Pyramid Ale House Brewery and Restaurant right next to Safeco Field...
Nothing major lately.... Little tucks, adjustments, alignments... just fine tuning detail stuff for now. Now, for some nice weather for a little jaunt....
Poppin up all over the place !!!! Welcome another newbie !!! Don't matter if you run NA for a bit.... The sinister look of a MK3 terrorizes the rear view mirrors of Honda drivers regardless... lol
Have one of the guys at work with pneumonia... I was hoping he would be well enough to make it back to work so I wouldn't have to be there. He won't... so I get screwed out... I'm sure we'll get another chance as the days get warmer and nicer....
Check the turbo dump line for damage...that could cause the smoke...
Maybe wiring to the VSV or Knock sensor plug(s) popped off by the bush ???
Just a quick idea....
