I still stand firm on head gasket, but ONCE my buddies car did that, POURING out white smoke fromthe muffler, and after tests and ----, it was bad gas? syphened out the tank, refilled it, problem solved, kinda odd huh?

Well it smells sweet, just like coolant. His coolant level is about the same, if it's gone down it's not noticable. Coolant looks fine too, no oil and not milky looking.

Did your friend's car smoke a grip? and then you just put in good gas and it was fine? hm... this was just pumped gas... I'll give that a try.

headgaskets are no prob, but it's just weird that it would blow, we've barely boosted it, or even driven it that fast for that matter. Is it possibly to blow one without drivint it hard at all?

Yeah, his car sat a few days gettin worked on, and after he got it back, it was PURING white smoke outta the tail pipe, like smoke bomb style. We checked all the ----, couldnt find anything wrong, called honda, and they said it might be the gas, so we syphoned out the tank, refilled it (pump gas) and it was back to normal. I nevr heard of that ever before until now, so it might not hurt to try.

Hmm.. that sounds exactly like what happened. We filled it up, it sat for a while, then it started smoking. the turbo is definately shot, so we need to replace that, and if that doesn't work, we'll syphon out the gas. Thanks
