Welcome to the site. Could you explain why the car isn't in running condition? You made an awesome decision with joining the forum because we will grow to become your second family, and of course help you with car issues.

I never thought that have a the timing cover opened a little could affect the way the car performed. Isn't the timing cover there to cover the timing belt? Why would the car smoke from that? How long have you had the car for? Is the head gasket okay?

You have a really nice car, don't really understand what "stigma" means on the side of your car but i definitely like your rims, you just need to get a suspension upgrade and lower your car and it will look sooo badass!

nats_celica

#11

lol thanks. stigma is a name of my x's band and i wana take it off but it is taking the paint off too so im just wondering shuld i leave it on or not. and about lowering my car. i want to but however i scrap the front bodykit as it is at the moment so lowering it would make it harder lol and yea im getn my rims rebuffed and also fixed from the curbings iv dne lol. ur car is pretty mean too:)

Haha, aw you're sweet to say that, but car's enduring a lot of work at the moment and all my parts are laying around in my storage room. The car will be almost finished by the summertime though with the GT4 front conversion all done and painted to a gunmetal color. If you ever want to get rid of your sideskirts, please let me know, i'd be EXTREMELY interested!

#13

If you have something leaking from your timing cover, and your car is smoking a bunch, it's probably your water pump that's failing. Does it smell like coolant (antifreeze)?

Don't drive it like that or you'll blow a head gasket. Bad times.

Welcome though! I'm sure someone with way more knowledge can help better than I can... you're in the right place to start out learning about cars though! I myself started with the Idiot's Guide to Car Maintenance, and that was ten years ago. Ya just go from there...It was a great way to learn the very basic stuff. I highly recommend it!

Nice looking car... good luck getting it fixed. Call me a lazy person, but I'd just take it by the mechanic and make him fix it... (but since I can never afford that solution... it doesn't always work that well.)

hello and welcome. hope to get updates on your modifications. post lots of pictures, especially when it's winter here !!! GriffGirl is right, if you aren't absolutely sure what the leak and smoke are, don't drive it!

on a less serious note ... Do you know Jemaine and Bret??? j/k.
