I've been driving my car around, and I'm probably not being entirely kind to it, I start it up and let it run long enough to get warm (temp ~ in the middle...) Then I take about a lap up and down my neighbors drive which is only long enough for me to go from 0-60 and stop (keep in mind I have warn/sagging brakes) Well after 2 0-60 laps I do a small low MPH stroll up and down the drive way again, let it sit running for about 30-60 seconds then I cut it off After its off I stand back and admire how fugly the body is but I still love it. It occasionally spits of thin white smoke and if its burning oil I'd never know since it leaks too... I had sprayed a couple parts with red 1200 degree ceramic paint... turbo heat shield, exhaust manifold shield and the coolant pipe that runs on top of the valve cover. Smoke comes from under the inter cooler and from under the heat shields... smells chemical but my sense of smell isn't great so what I tell you may not be the case. Should I worry about the smoke? or just ignore it till it burns off? And am I being too rough? do I need to let the engine warm up more? I'm never pushing it above 5krpm because Last time The cops came by for noise ordinance (some guy 6 houses down called...)
