hey gota integra..
2001 motor.. in there..

GSI 1.8L motor (in a DA9)

since i bought the car its been like this.. so yeh i dno lol thought i better say sumfn coz it doestn seem to go away.. sometimes worrys me lol.

When im running cold i get a fair bit of grey smoke .. after about 2500k rpm.. but when the cars standing still.. its normal.. only seems to do it in gear

When im gunnging it even when warm .. after 5k rpm i get shit load of smoke. black/dark dark grey.. colour smoke..

My car burns a **** load of oil like i can 0 the full thing in about 1 month if i thrash it alot. I have one small leak i really really doubt its that.. that eats it all. ive been buying 15w so its a bit thicker.. everyone sed it would help.

i lose water.. but not at an alarming rate.. but i think its from my washer.. lol does the window washers.. ever use the radiators water?? coz when my washer tanks empty.. i can still shoot water?

i got no white spots or anything on my oil cap, i have no oil in the radiator.. so it cant be head gasket could it?

Is this all normal shit? or am i just paranoid for nothing?

I have light mods..

a CAI
new fuel pump
short shifter

1. The washers have their own water bottle, have u never noticed this under the hood?
2. loosing oil can mean different things like screwed pistion rings, a oil seal that needs replacement or a blown head gasket
3. the black smoke u are descirbing sounds like your car is running too rich, how much kms do u get out of a full tank?
4. what kind of coolant are u using?

1. if u read my 1st post.. i wrote that.. even when i finishh that little bottle i can .. keep shooting water.. it never seems to run out.. literally..

2. about 300-400k's, 400 non thrashed, 300 if i gun it everywhere.

3. i am not sure buddy.. i usualy just buy a cheap $10 one from the petrol station.. is there different types? (its green... quite thin not thick..)
