i HAVE NOTICED THAT CAR THE CAR IS FIRST STEARTED IT RUN QUITE LUMPY AND GIVE OFF QUITE ALOT OF SMOKE BUT SOON AS IT IS WARM IT IS FINE.i NEED TO WORRY OR IS THIS NORMAL?
CHEERS DEAN
There should be some light smoke on start up for not much more than around 30 seconds.It should be light blue in colour.Anything more than that and maybe something is tired in the engine or one of the turbo\'s is on it\'s way out,just keep an eye on your oil level and keep it topped up.

" \'Hi\' new here...
I have an Rx7 and just checking in as I have a problem etc etc etc.." :rolleyes:
Sorry I can\'t offer advise as I don\'t know what car you have, what mileage or condition or even if has a turbo(with regard to smoking) or anything to go so as to give you PROPER CORRECT infomation that will help you.
Good Luck
The Car Is A Rx7 With A Hks T04e Single Turbo And The Engine As Far As I Know As About 2000 Miles On It (i Only Brought It Yestarday).it Was Fully Rebuilt New Every Thing But Rotors And Tune By Wgt Like A Few Hundred Miles Ago.
Cheers Dean
"Hi" :rolleyes:
Now with the slow improvement and that we are educated a bit more on your problem, I\'ll try to assist....................
With the Rotary, smoke on start up and on hard acceleration can be classed as acceptable if not normal. This seems more pronounced after rebuilds and heavy mods.
As you said it does taper off etc after awhile, so sounds about right.
You also have a very big plus on your side (IMO) by having a WGT rebuild and set up. I only have good things to say about pip and WGT......... :yes
dom ,
you need to lighten up matey - go easy on the new comers- we dont want to scare them away
dean , if the car is that new along with the rebuild - drop pip a line and see what he says - has it had its first service after the rebuild ?? im sure pip has to do this has he rebuilt it
it doesnt sound toooo serious - just keep a close eye on fluid over the nest few 100miles - and dont forget - dont boot it from cold and let it cool down before you shut her off

Wot, I think I gave the guy the BEST advise!
Over 50 views and no one offered to answer a simple question!
QUite obvious that as usual I seem to be the only one to say what I think or actually say what \'others\' think!
Sorry for being the Rude one with NO MANNERS! :wave
TREX??
My advice was not correct in your opinion then?

Carl
maybe we should have a thread called "How to start a thread" ??? :)

Honestly yes...
It\'s like phoning a doctor and telling him... "I have a cough in the morning with the shakes and by breakfast I am fine, is this normal?"
How could a doctor give advise, he doesn\'t know the blokes age, what he ate, what he\'d done the night before, This bloke could have asthma, cancer, aids....and the lists goes on..... !!!
Any advise without proper information could be detrimental to a situation!
Geezze, in my line of work this could be catastrophic! :eek:
lighten up guys he had a problem and posted for an answer i think the internet etiquette gets a bit out of hand sometimes..does he really have to grovel all he wanted was a bit of advice
Veliside..
There is no fussing, Dean got his advise and hopefully he\'s better off now, with his car.
I apoligize again for growing up with manners.
Lighten up peeps, its supposed to be fun! :D
Agree with Trex in that you really should put the spec of your car when posting a problem.
:wave
Thank you Brett... :cheers

I am in no way connected to Brett, know him personally or business associated with him.
it was his 2nd post - dont jump down the poor blokes throat over it ...
this place just to be full of love and happy thoughts !!
but here is one of trex\'s first posts :
QuoteHelloooo....
My sunroof motor runs but does not move the actual door, suspect the motor gear worn out and just slipping on the actuating cables to run the door.... I assume this is the set up(normally is this type) and also hope it\'s just the motor or gear that needs replacing instead of a busted/broken worn cable assembly as it would probably be cheaper and less hassel...
Anyone with experience of this problem as I believe it\'s a common problem with these electric sun roofs!
I\'m hoping to strip it down for assessment sometime this weekend..
Any tips, pointers or advice welcome.......
Oh, I can\'t seem to get the bleeding gear knob off!!
Got a sweet MoMo one to slap on, but can\'t for hell remove the original................
Ta.
i like how he tells us exactly what car he has :) and seems to be here just to get problems fixed
this post is not to be offensive dom just pointing out that you have done the same in the past

Ha ha, so it\'s a case of "do as I say not as I do" eh TRex? Who died and made you God anyway?
Here is a bit of useful advise for TREX so that when he would like to give out info on the above problem again he is in a better position to do so.
ALL rotaries tend to smoke a little on startup.That is the nature of the engine,a small amount of oil is injected into the engine on startup to lubricate the seals.My answer covered turbo\'s too just incase.Model and age are irrelevant as the advice is still the same.
I think you will find that what I said was simpler and much more straight foward than your complicating things for the poor guy,now we may have lost a potential member due to the shenanigins on this thread.
