Slowpoke

Hey guys, Currently im having white smoke coming out of my exhaust when its idling. It happens quite rarely. Usually it happens when i boost it for like 5 seconds.. then when i stop at the lights idling, theres just white smoke coming out of the exhaust. Doesn't happen all the time tho.. what do you guys reckon? Some people i know were saying its the turbo seals. If its the turbo seals, is there anything that can be done besides changing a new turbo? Cheers Bernard

Great cruise organized and everyone was very well behaved I tried to keep up.. but the only way i could do that.. was to leave earlier for the next meet point before everyone leaves

Just went to the workshop.. don't think my car will be ready.. sigh.. it was there since wednesday.. and it was just supposed to get the starter motor overhauled Guess i'll come tomorrow in the honda..

haha.. i'll bring my sillycar.. just hoping that my mechanic can get my starter motor all done up by tomorrow.. if it is i'll definitely be there with it.. if not.. in worst case scenario.. can i come with the daily? its a accord.. at least a 3l V6

If we are going up to Two Rocks, is it where the 2 rocks are located? My gf and I will be keen to take loads of photographs as we've seen many beautiful pics from up there Hopefully no1 tries to race me.. i'm guessing i might be the only SAUWA celica lol.. Rare metallic blue color.. should be easy to spot..

I'll turn up if my car's fixed up.. just getting the starter motor overhauled.. is it ok for me to come if i drive a celica? If you need help printing the maps, just forward the map to me and i'll be glad to help print them as well. (Laser printer powaaaa)

sorry i couldnt make it guys.. was up til very late last night and i overslept through my alarm

Hey guys.. my gt4's really sick now and needs quite alot of work done.. Ill pop by tomorrow with the gf's accord and spectate and hope paul remembers to bring my new membership card and stickers please Ill see u guys there tomorrow!!

sorry i didnt turn up for the cruise.. had my mechanic friend to come and take a look at the car.. seems to be the starter motor and one of the wires that got screwed.. so i guess ill be out for awhile again

looks like i wont be able to get the car up and running.. my friend whos a mechanic will be coming over to take a look for me later.. he says its most likely the battery fuse that has been blown.. IF i do come for the cruise ill be going in my gf's accord.. ill just be at the back of the pack cruising along.. is that ok? at least its a 3.0 vtec

Any1 have any idea what could be wrong.. Im soooo mad coz i finally decided to bring the gt4 for a cruise tonight and this happens... ARGH!!!!!!!!!

what do u mean the spotties? sorry but im a total noob.. I pulled out the fuses and relays they all LOOKED fine.. but i dont have a test pen to confirm it..

i dont have a test light so i just take out all the fuses in the fuse box located in the engine bay?

man.. i just tried to tighten one of the bolts that connects the battery to the engine in the engine bay.. its 3 cables held together by 1 allan key bolt.. i tried to loosen it.. massive sparks came out.. now my car wont respond at all.. i connect everything and nothing responds!!!! I have a feeling i blew a fuse.. this is a bit off topic.. but can any1 tell me how to identify which fuse is fused? and i should be able to get them at petrol stations right? i really wanna go

So are most SAUWA members going for this cruise or the other cruise that starts at City West? Can i come in my celica gt4? Is the cruise mainly on the freeway? Cause i dont really wanna boost around too much as my car's kinda sick

hehe sorry i misread one of the replies.. im just soooo eager to see the 35 gtr in person *fingers, eyes and toes crossed hoping it will be there*

YAY!! So its confirmed the R35 will be there yeah? :drool: Ill pop up with my gf and my gt4.. Paul pls remember to bring my membership card and stickers pls

Sorry for being off topic, but how much is the annual membership price? I cant remember lol.. *eagerly awaits his card and stickers*

hmm yeah.. the doctor wasnt really convincing when she told me i was fine.. im gonna go back there and request for an xray just to be sure aye..

alright guys im headin to the gym now ill make a report on my way home later hopefully it wont be too much of a hassle

hmm.. im not sure if its exceeded 500 bucks.. the repair of the car is gonna cost 300 and my medical fee is about 140 i think.. joondie emergency department.. so u guys reckon i should go and make a police report? like.. should i inform the lady that im gonna make a report? or just go and make it without her knowing..

So you guys think i should go make a police report even though the lady wants to settle this personally? Yeah i think thats the best option isnt it? Cause just in case in the future it turns out to be worse damage i can still claim cause i made a police report right? Cheers Bernard

Thanks alot john im gonna give it a try this evening will let you know how it goes Cheers Bernard

wow.. hmm.. i didnt really understand that appealing.. could u sort of maybe list it out in orders like 1,2,3? im really scared of using turp.. coz the paints in really great condition.. BUT... heck the car is 18 years old

hey guys.. just got back from the hosp.. ended up being only a whiplash so yeah all good.. hopefully nothing turns out later on.. had to bloody wait in the emergency department for 2 1/2 hours damn that was long..
