Smoke when you start it?? Your motors on its death bed. Its either coolent seals or worn side/apex/oil seals. All of which need a rebuild. BTW these things can run for a long time smoken 
its just alitte anoying and embarassing. I'd go turbo,, but its going to cost a HELL of a lot more then $600.

white...or blue?
white smoke is coolant, blue smoke is oil.. It's a REALLY light blue, and almost looks like white..
Does it do it every time you start, or just after it sits for a while? Is your coolant level falling? Does it blow smoke when you drive or rev it? When the revs fall down? Any coolant in oil/oil in coolant?

Well....
It starts smoking alot.....and i mean ALOT..... after i rev it past 4000 rpm's.... but when i drive it for a while and i rev it over and over....it stops and it doesn't smoke....its more of a white smoke.....and it smells like oil........ it consumes alot of oil.......abouta quart a week!
...but all in all..... the thing i like about it is that i could drive behind someone i don't like and just smoke them with out going no where.....i could care less what they think of me or my car ....... well about going turbo for $600 the parts are all there..... a friend that is swapping his TII for a vett engine is going to give me his engine....... I saw his engine run... and i like....... he's going to give me everything from engine turbo trans. drive shaft sensors bla bla bla ....everything except powersteering... so parts is not a problem... its more of a problem to come up with the money and the will to do it........... but i don't know if i should..... they told me that its hard to swap from N/A SERIES 4 To TII SERIES 5.......... is that true???
