Justin Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Noticed at start up and once when I booted it to teach someone a lesson. Stem or turbo seals I guess I feel a remortgage coming on again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 My leaking stem seals only cause smoke from stone cold and it's a very white smoke, they've needed doing since I got the car over a year ago. I get some dark or black smaoke after a run occaisionally but it's only done it since I decatted in Sept 03 and hasn't got any worse in that time, I don't worry about it anymore. Might yours be similar is it worse than that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted May 28, 2004 Author Share Posted May 28, 2004 I get white smoke in cold weather starts but that is just steam. I didn't get any smoke today at startup but that may be because I ran the supe the night before. I've recently changed from using the supe everyday for commuting to a weekend car so that probably isn't helping. No doubt I'll find out soon enough if/when something lets go. Cheers.

heckler Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 The hybrids rock, but make sure you have a boost controller to make the most of them... Unlike me doh... just had to go and buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 So I'll need a boost controller if I go Hybrids on my J-Spec? B*llox, more money and I'll need to declare it to insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
