whats up guys. my 02 gt has 35,000 miles on it and had a 100 shot of nitrous at one time. Here lately my car has had white smoke coming from the tailpipes at start up and it isn't just condensation type smoke because it also does that the whole time i drive everywhere when it is cold outside. It will consistently blow a good bit of white smoke out for about 4-5 seconds when ever i start up as long as it has been sitting for at least two or more hours. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong? I do tend to beat on it very hard. :nice: any help as to what i might have done to my car would be greatly appreciated
 
A 100 shot of nitrous on it at one time? Please tell me you forged the internals. Stock motors cant really handle nitrous, not even the Cobras. I just bought my 97 Rio Red Cobra from a guy who ran Nitrous and he swore he replaced the motor, but come to find out my head gaskets were leaking and caused my motor to hydrolock. Now I am getting a new motor and 6 grand on a new motor is the last thing I wanted to invest into my Cobra, being a college student and all. If it worsens to sometimes takes a while to crank at startup, heater core goes out, and always low on coolant/trying to overheat/ seems like there are always bubbles in the system, be very careful.

white smoke = smoking tires (hahaha) or = antifreeze (water). You may have a bad head gasket that swells once it gets warmed up. Check your oil and antifreeze level, it doesn't take much to make a lot of smoke. Good luck

yea, white=water, blue=oil, I'd check what mrpositraction said :nice:
