Hey whats up Evom? i just bought a new GG ix. i used to own a stage 3 srt-4 with about 350 wheel horsepower. i was so tired of the traction issues so i sold it. so far i am very happy with the evo but the drivetrain is pretty noisy but i guess that is normal? i notied today when i drove it to school today and i was waiting for the turbo to cool down a little bit before i shut it off there was SMOKE coming from the passenger side of the hood. it wasn't alot just a light smoke? is this normal?

 

ive never seen smoke, but i've seen heat

 

Same here.

 

How many miles on the car? I remember hearing about a special coating they put all around the car that may burn off for 1000 miles or so

 

Never saw smoke... but for the first couple hundred miles you could smell stuff burning, i.e., stray grease, gaskets burning in, etc

 

79 miles are on the car

 

ah in that case just give it time, I'm sure you will see it go away within a few hundred miles.

 

Just boost on it for a coupe of hours it will fix it self

 

cant say Ive ever saw smoke, definitely had smells and saw heat, but no smoke... What color smoke was it, did it have any distinct smell?

 

yeah +1 on the heat waves cming out, but never smoke. yeah color and smell may hepl determine what it is. but, i wouldn't worry to much about it. good luck!

 

very good decision on your behalf! congrats and welcome

 

My car smelled like you lit a chemical plant on fire when it was new. Never saw any visible smoke, but the aroma was strong. All went away after 150 miles or so. I'd say you're probably fine like everyone else has said. See if you can figure out what is smoking (if it's still doing it). If it was only a one time thing I wouldn't worry about it.

 

well i finally poped the hood to see were the smoke was coming from and saw that the dealer cleaned the engine with armoral or some other greasy chemical and got it on the manifold. n e ways im loving the car i just can't wait for the break in period to end !!

 

Wait till you get some mods, intake, tbe, mbc, and a tune and you'll be well over 300whp and be loving it even more.
