hey all

i got a big fkn problem. I was driving last night and i though id give it a little i was in 4th and got to max boost and before i cud change to 5th i looked behind me and the whole main road (kings rd sydenham) was covered in white smoke. I shat my pants. My car sounds wierd the idle was dropping out but not that much for the speedo to pick up. Now the car wont even start someone said its the spark plugs. If anyone has anyinfo of what it might be cos im also suspicious as to why there is oil sometimes spitting out of my blitz bov and some sitting in the throttle body where the stock bov is? someone from racv said the oil may have gone into the engine caught alight and smoked out the exhaust?

any info would be great cheers

ahk hopefully compression is fine, because the car boost's fine, not one thing wrong with it when it drives. It was just that one time.

But thanks heaps for all the info everyone, if you have anything else by all means let me know.

Really appreciated.

nah no noises, my mate asked me last night because he thought it could have been a blown turbo or just damage to the housing. But turbo sounds perfectly fine, no wierd noises and still boosts fine

max boost in 4th, and you're going for 5th. On a public street. :wave:

You sir, are an absolute Fu(kwit, the kind we don't need here.

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
