heat wrap smoke
 

Hi all how long will it take to sort itself out? it propa stinks!!!

:lol:

Some wrap is worse than others, but a couple of journeys with car up to temperature at most i'd expect.

Cheers!! i got a good mouthfull of smoke 7am this morning evil bit of kit!

The Evo manifold get soaked every time it rains or I clean it being at the top... I get some very funny looks when I first drive off :)

Wait for the 'Mister your cars on fire' comment after driving through a puddle!

Iv had some looks lol had some peanut in a vxr laughing must have thought my engine was over heating so i couldnt resist showin what my smokey motor can do lol

Haha, good lad. Sometimes the need to 'educate' is quite overwhelming ;-)

Best one is when you do a turbo change and don't drain out any coolant.
You end up with a semi-large spill of coolant that can collect in the exhaust heatshields.
The thing looks like it's on fire when it's gets up to temp, bloody stinks too......

Ive only got 250bhp but it had to be done lol

Had this with the split top rad hose! fresh coolent too! the steam comin out was mental at the time it was around -3 so that made it worse than it actully was would rather put up with the heat wrap smoke tho being non mechanical!
