palmer

vrrrrrrrmmmmmm tu tu tu tu tuuu ^ thats wat it will sound like. like mine does

Had the breathers checked today. All seems fine and they arent blocked. Including PCV Valve etc Would you notice a difference with power if i had a cracked piston? as it doesnt seem to be losing power at all. Boost spools up well and everything. hmmm i also went to "JEM" out my way and they believe i need a rebuild. ill try the new dipstick to just be sure. and then if its still doing it ill go for the rebuild.. GAY!

SPAMMM BOTTT *said in robot voice*

had to refill because it was burning a hell of alot of oil.. was almost empty (and i checked on level ground aswell) i didnt overfill.. i put it in enough to get it between low and high on the dip stick, right in the middle. It even blows out the dip stick on fairly low oil LOL LOL.. nice one lol thanks mate. I hope its not aswell.. I will be doing a rebuild later on but i need a quick fix for now so i can save up the money lol. Im hoping to get a compression test soon if i can. How much do they normally cost? and yeah when i went on the cruise for NSW SAU they noticed alot of smoke when i was driving. I caught a pic of it when i was ging down hill.. the Smoke was light grey. But on my bumper is so much black stuff its not funny. Like rediculous. heres a pic where you can see the smoke a little

^Thanks for that mate. taking it to a Mechanics tomorrow so hopefully they can help out a little. But I had my car tuned not long ago and it solved the smoke from blowing out. Now its happening worse (a month to a couple months after the tune) and only really at higher revs. Not normally when on idle (although sometimes it does) Apparently the car does have forged pistons (so the previous owner told me) so maybe its that.

Hey guys/gals, OK basically the other day i noticed once i moved my car off my driveway that there were a few spots of oil on the ground. Was a little worried about it but as it was only a few little drips i wasn't worried... ...Until i opened the bonnet. JESUS! Massive amounts of oil EVERYWHERE!.. like up on my bonnet and all down the wiring harnesses under the plenum.. everywhere.. i was like WTF!.. had a look around and noticed the Dip Stick to be popped out a lil from where it should be. I was like "PHHEWWW" thinking its a much smaller issue than i thought. Must of just sprayed from the dip stick (because i had to refill some oil the day beforehand, and maybe i didn't put it back in properly) So i popped it back in and took it for another drive (after cleaning the engine bay a lil lol) Opened her back up and AGAIN the Dip Stick is out with the oil making a huge mess. Now for the last few weeks since my oil change (that a mechanic did) my car has been blowing ALOT of smoke (dark smoke so not turbo related or anything) but i thought it must be from the oil change and stuff.. I asked what oil the mechanic used.. he said "20W-50" i was like WHHHAATT!! He assured me it was OK. But i was sure to use 10W-40 as Ive done some reading on here about it. So guys there is some info on my situation.. Just wondering what it might be? 1) Black smoke from the exhaust 2) Dip Stick popping out a lot 3) Seemed to also be burning a lot of oil I'm thinking that my oil rings might be screwed? Any helps would be great! Thanks, Elliott

What to? lol got any aftermarket parts to show my way then? haha

Y wont you have your car man?

Niiiiicee work man haha love the shots of my car. if i ever sell it some of them will be on carsales for sure haha

There ya go. Couple more. But more repetative shots really lol

Yeah get that... But also an alarm to alert people and something better than just the standard 3 point for insurance approved stuff. Kill switch hidden somewhere too would be good!

Maybe invest in a full alarm system and stuff man. Anything to help deter a possible 'Next Time' attempt. interested to know where it was found too...
