dj-jon-boi Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 i bought a 96 glanza yesterday and on the way home i was stuck in traffic and noticed a fair bit of smoke was coming out of the exhaust and a distinct smell of burning oil, it only does it when its idling but only sometimes.... turbo problem?

AlexGTAdv Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 If you have that sort of money you might as well save a little bit more and get a Tong GT spec hybrid for £465. Contact Enzo for more info. I can tell you that they are well worth it as i am running one and it is exellent! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
