shoulda got a maxima

If you're blowing blue smoke, you've got either bad piston rings or bad valve seats, as the engine is burning oil in the combustion chamber. I used to have a '91 Saturn, and it cost me around $1500 to rebuild the engine after the rings were shot (Early Saturns were notorious for bad piston rings).

$1500??? It cost me $400 dollars for a JDM honda motor with 35k KMs on it with $400 shipping. That's like half of what you paid and I got a much higher quality motor.

One, it was a Saturn, not a Honda. Two, I didn't get a new motor, and three, if I knew now what I knew then, I wouldn't have rebuilt it (or would have referred the work to a friend who runs a machine shop, and had the work done a lot cheaper).

there's this orange (sealant?) type shit that doesn't look cleanly done between the head and the engine
my friend and the guy that were working on the accord before i bought it aren't really "shop mechanics" by any means



it's an old family car that i want to put nice parts into and keep the outside/aesthetics stock.. you're hating on me because i have an old honda and assume i'm going to rice it out..
there's nothing wrong with a manual transmission.



smokes above 2500 rpm but otherwise it's fine, something's fucky



damn, that's actually not bad at all. maybe there's less wear/tear on my car than i thought but it definitely doesn't look pretty.



fuck nissan



i'm pretty sure it's piston rings to be honest. a shop mechanic told me that its blowing blue tinted smoke out the exhaust and numerous people have agreed that's probably the issue.
i'm almost dead set on doing an engine swap so i might hold out on that for now, for now the engine isn't knocking and the oil level has remained pretty stable considering its leak so i'm not super concerned

motherfucker you drive a Chevy Aveo it don't matter how you drive lmao

And to OP, my original statement is GENERALLY. Who knows, maybe I met an exception (unless you're dropping it and ricing it the fuck out)

doo

I wish I had a reliable measure of my 0-40 time, honestly. The little fucker can get up off the line pretty well, and it's got great maneuverability to duck through traffic and break out into an open lane. I drive that fucker like an F1 car and it's done me remarkably well.

A lot has to do with how it was cared for before, my car finally gave me issues at 275k but my aunt, who gave me it, didn't do regular maintenance when she owned it so time eventually gave in

Please post a burnout video as any true Honda driver would do. Thanks.
