Krzys Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 What kind of smoke? Could be water stood in the exhaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 it looked black, after that happened i kept reving it whilst on the move and it got less, think it needs a good service and it has been standing a while and also it has done alot of miles too. ill see what the mot throws up.Ok tom u find me a s13 bargain with no rust and ill buy it! but to make u happy im de-bimmering it, (so all badges off, non bimmer wheels, might even do a new grill )also i need to find the traction control switch and turn it off! Got a chip in the drivers head light which will fail but it came with another in the boot and removing the fog lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Ok tom u find me a s13 bargain with no rust and ill buy it! .No chance! If it ain't rusty, the big ends have gone Perfect excuse to throw in an RB20DET then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ain't rusty, the big ends have gone Perfect excuse to throw in an RB20DET then Better of doing an RB25 swap If you can afford one that is! But the S13 shape is my favourite......a lot of that has to do with the pop up headlights though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTISmichael Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 progress today: removed both fog lights, was a slight hassel but ok, change the drivers head light with a bit of fiddlin with the hid wires but i noticed some sort of plastic part between the bumber the inner arch and when look at it about 3 times its an brake air duct! never seen that before lol quite good. Thought id have a look at the spark plugs as for some reason he gave me only 5 new ones, well it wasnt too good!..so i think thats either alot of mileage or the rings/stem seals are going, all 6 were like that Also looked for the asc traction control switch with no luck, battery was nearly dead so trusty civic jumped her to life and she ran much better with the new plugs, the oil is very black too!

fyfie5 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 looks like she just needs a good service and that will hopefully sort her out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 looks like she just needs a good service and that will hopefully sort her out x2, would probably give it a flush too if it looks like that, may not all come straight out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTISmichael Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 i know and it takes 6.5 litres of oil! going to be expensive oil change but at least i can stick in 3 litres do a run around the road couple of times and drop the oil again Oh i noticed the door are so heavy! putting in perspex windows for sure!!
