Hey, i'm looking at this 84' exa to buy, theres a blow off valve on it but theres oil leaking out of the horn on it, what does that mean? is the oil coming from the bov itself or is it coming from the turbo, which means that the turbo's pretty much had it?

how much oil. is it just a thin film og oil or is it actualyl dripping

there will always be a little oil in the pipes from the turbo and the beather pipe, these cars are old remmeber, even 1 week old wrxes blow a little oil in the piping.

best thing is to open it up and checkyourself.

awsome! just checked sam's exa out, that thing would fly a bit :D never seen it around b4 though. hopefully i might be gettin an EXA that colour soon! lol just happens that my names sam too! hehe. the street scene down here isn't anything compared to what you guys have over on the mainland. but there are a couple of sweet looking rides around, hopefully it'll get better once i get this exa that i want :heehee:

yeah his did something like a 14.6 or something with the stock rims on retreads. his silvia is probably crazy atm considering how much work he can do himself.

i reckon the scene down there would be wicked if you had a crazy ride!!!! everyone would be jealous hehe
