Ive almost made it through the month. Unfortunately my roomate said he saw clouds of blue smoke coming from my car when he was following me earlier (I passed him on a 2 lane double yellow, I was boozed, it was 100 yards. Bite me!). Dammit! Every time!!

How is the PCV system hooked up? Are you sure it wasn't just eating it's own poo and burning it? It could also be the oil seals on the turbo if the PCV system isn't hooked up properly.

What is it with people's cars resetting their own timing? Kinda weak. Good to know you got it sorted out though.

Ryan, the oil is coming from me running uber rich with not enough timing under WOT. I was messing around with MegaTune trying to further my knowledge on the subject and messed up some settings. Now the box doesnt want to save the new settings so I'm gonna have to re-flash it. Yay megasquirt.

lol I fixed a bunch of things this month........

car idling high(got to love putting in a new IACV and having the idle controller way up)

AC system working. just got to add refrieg

oil catch can parts are ready to be put in

fixed my broken miror......

still got a hatch that wants to leak in by the tail lights but..... of all things it runs fantasic and I couldnt be happier.

Ps anyone have any idea where to pick up that tar stuff to seal the taillights from letting water in? I could use great stuff foam but I would much rather have the right stuff.

Its tim what do you expect, the fact that his car actually runs is a miracle.

I'm sure if Tim had SDS upon starting up im sure his box would of blown up.

I can't argue with that. The only thing Tim does well is open beers.
