    The XT is pissing me off. lol When you corner on a long left turn at speed it blows oil smoke out the back. Doesnt do it any other time and I've been driving it back and forth to work everyday. Just piss people off on the 35/36/280 curve on my way home and same on Hwy 10 curve. I just replaced the turbo with a rebuilt one and still have the issue.

    Anyway, AC works, AWD works and car is solid underneith. I have a pickup truck full of stuff to go with it including another motor thats ran good but it's been sitting for 2 years now. Boxes of switches, relays, more turbos, starters, wiper mothers and wiper trannys, New RF fender still in shipping cardboard, box of dask pod parts. Stuff like that. Tires are in really good shape also.

    Car runs and drives fine, just that smoke issue. If I get it figured out I may just keep it.

    Like to get around 1500 for all of it XT.jpg XT1.jpg XT2.jpg

    LOL, that could do it but I covered that base already. It's just under the full mark. Anymore ideas?

    Yeah that is a good guess also. I just put a can of Seafoam in oil and in gas tank but haven't driven it yet. I would think if that was the problem thou it would smoke always but who knows.

    Memories, we bought a black 86 XT turbo from Morries back in the eighties (Man, I miss that decade). Followed a couple years later with a new 89' XT6. Quite the design. The dash was just too cool! If you do end up selling it, I hope it goes to someone who would really appreciate it.
