ok, would it be unwise to drive my RX7 a few days since it smokes alot?



my other car died, want to be able to take my time fixing it (making sure its done right) and would have to drive my 7 to and from work,

Depends on the embarassment level you're willing to put up with.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

that doesn't matter to me, I don't get embarrased too easy, just dont feel like blowing it up.

if tis oil smoke it wont even blow up, people will thing its a forest fire though

well, went ahead and drove home and back to work, started over heating (towed it to my house) went out this morning and flushed out the radiator as good as I could, no more over heating (26 miles so far), not as much smoke anymore either. looks like I won't end up having to walk to work now.

Man did you ever get lucky!!!

Hopefully it stays with ya.

100 miles so far, still no over heating. I'll keep posting. just has to last untill I get my POS back on the road.



it sucks though, I cant drive her hard, gotta really baby her or I smoke out everyone behind me. (did that to a miata last night when he was all on my bumper)



no smoke under 4K, after that forget it, I cant even see headlights behind me.

How's the thermostat?

not sure. it over heats in the morning (after I get it started) 2 days in a row I had to push start it now. couldn't push start it on foot. had to get someone to push me with their car to get it started. any advice on a EXTREMELY cheap fix to that? she's really got me pissed off right now. was 2 hrs late to work thanks to the problems. don't want to get rid of it, she runs great once running, when I get it started in the morning she'll run all day.



Thanks
