Cars look nice both of you. First time you guys have driven them together?

Joe, where'd your front wheels go though?! Need a bit of a spacer or something tongue.gif.

Havent driven them together yet. And The reason behind the sucked look is a doughut. Had to swap the rims with my black car when I moved to Corpus Christi because the black had a blow out before I left.

This is going to be my next purchase probably next week.

Makes sense. I was going to say, not even OEM wheels are that sunken, haha.

*Update 5-16-2012*

After running the car for about an hour and driving it 2 laps around the parking lot, I noticed white smoke with blueish tint pouring out my exhaust. Not just a little bit either, alot. About the same amount you see in the winter time when its cold out. Before I had shipped the car Stetsonaw(older member) told me the same thing when we crused Okinawa. I belive my head gasket might be blown due to the ebay headers and the fact that the head gasket has been changed out at all since Ive had the car in 07' or probably anytime before that, so it might have probably been time for a new one anyway.

Blue smoke is oil burning in the cylinder. So piston rings are fried or valve guide seals. Or both. Yours sounds like piston rings to me unfortunately. kindasad.gif

Blown head gasket would more than likely be white smoke as water and coolant is entering the cylinder.

I guess it could be both though. Either way, good thing you are doing a 3sgte soon. You should compression check it to see what cylinder(s) it is. Then you'll know for sure.

Edit: I dont undrstand why the head gasket would blow due to ebay headers?

Well its still gonna be a little while before I get her running due to parts that I still need to purchase. I am still useing the clutch that has came with the engine. As of right now the car will not be ready til next year when I get back from Afghanistan. While Im deployed is when I will purchase more parts.

Does anyone know if the 3sfe A/C compressor will work with the 3gste? Ive been trying and trying but cant seem to get it mounted to the block. Tho they look the same, the line connectors a different.

That looks like a proper engine bay with the 3S-GTE in it! What do you need to get her running?
