I do smell some exhaust but I figured that was because of the catless downpipe, egr delete, and straight pipe. last owner was a shitty welder :( I do smell oil when I'm getting on it tho and having fun
Seems to be getting worse. I haven't ever noticed it smoking like this before but I guess it is.
I've noticed this as well. I'm assuming this is from oil.
Ight that won't be hard at all. I got a few places I can do that.
Appreciate your advice fr. So what’s your name? Mine is Rock, I'm named after my mom Roxanne. Like I said I'd be happy to help you with whatever as long as you can walk me through the process.
Yea first place I went to look was on Amazon. I'll definitely order one tonight. So how do I need to go about getting a data log tho? Like just letting it idle and revving it? Or driving?
I’d be happy to help however I can. All of my friends seem to be much older than me haha but that's cool...
I gotcha, I’ll do a little research and order one tonight. So do I need to do anything specific to get a good data log? Just drive to work while it’s logging or just let it idle for a bit or?
That's kinda crazy thinking back on 2018, I didn't even know how to drive then. But hey I didn't even...
So I'll need a laptop to take a data log right? As well as an adapter of some sort to plug into the car? The previous owner said he would transfer the versatune license whenever I get a laptop.
That's a fair question considering I'm new to all of this, but yes l’m making sure to wipe the...
That sounds great to me! I remember watching a video that mentioned how the valves get dirty and all that. I'd buy food and help with whatever is needed. I will of course will need to be walked through things tho.
So I don’t haven't really noticed any smoke unless I get close to redline and/or...
Yeah it would be nice to have meets and stuff like that. Even tho my car has more cosmetic issues than I'd like but at least I'm more confident in my ability to fix those things vs the mechanical stuff. Yea this is only my 2nd car and my 1st car I've ever even drove with this much hp. My engine...
Not even gonna lie bro, I'm only 20 and I have a family of my own so I kinda don't have that many friends or community groups like this I'm a part of. So it's nice to be welcomed into a group like this and offered help like that. It shows me that there still good people out there. Appreciate you fr
Wow that's super nice of you, I’d appreciate any help I can get. It’s my daily so it’s pretty important (I do have another car but I share it with my girlfriend). This seems like a great community to be a part of. I've loved the car so far besides this and a few smaller things I’ve had to figure...
Okay I'll order a compression tester and some of the tools I'll need. I'll be getting more tools for my bday next month as well. Like I mentioned in my original post, I haven't ever really had to work on a car besides little stuff so I'm kinda learning and collecting the tools I need as I go.
So I took it back to the shop that changed the oil and they looked under it with me and we couldn't find a leak. I also haven't been noticing anything under the car except a small spot directly under the pivot shaft seal (I have parts coming for that in a day or 2). I texted the previous owner...
Year/Make/Model: 2006 Mazdaspeed 6 GT
Mileage:164000
Location: Danville, AR (348 ft above sea level)
Concern: So I've had to top up the oil twice within the past week. On Friday I checked the oil and it was at the very bottom of the dip stick so I put about half of a 5q bottle in to get it to...
