    clean as **** underneath like spotless rust wise
    stock seabrings with new nittos (still have paint stripes)
    17 inch after market wheels(need tires)
    cheaped out and cut coils(currently sits just about bump stops in front equal height in back if i get asking price i will throw in bilsteins with neuspeed coils)

    bbm rebuilt supercharger
    68mm nuespeed pulley(ran for 3 days roughly seen bottom)
    shorter belt
    will probably throw in front mount intercooler with same side exit and entrance

    have paperwork for the bbm and tt exhaust

    car had awsome power pulled nice and drove suprisingly well for cut springs not rele bouncy at all suprisingly quiet too(we all know that wont last long)

    now the bad
    put 68mm pulley on and the 3 rd day on was driving the thru way car blew a cloud of white smoke out(pulled over immediatly car wasnt over heated)going with headgasket 98% sure havent looked into it got my new daily shortly after car still runs and drives doesnt rele smoke much but white it does smells sweet and white(no coolant in oil has me confused?)(wouldnt suggest driving it home prolly make things alot worse)..
    Car does have lein on the title its an old lein from like 92,i bought it anyways if there were a problem the bank would have taken it long ago,if you dont like that fact find a different car as i didnt care i wanted to try out this corrado (although pulls hard drives nice im having a hard time warming up to the vehicle or i would hop right on fixing it considering its cheap and easy being a sohc but im rele not concerned i got another e36 for a daily<-- please dont flame i love them lol)

    i'm asking 2100 call/text 315-283-5121 to check it out,honestly the lowest im going or im gonna start parting it out ,












    ^^armada of random cars i gotta get rid of some lol exept the 2 e36's

    Fix IT
    It may very well be the brake master cyl.
    It happened to me, and I could have SWORN it was the HG. An old VW tech told me the master cyl would leak into the brake booster, and once there was enough in there it could be sucked through the hardline into the intake manifold (under vacuum, like letting off for a curve, then getting back on really quick) It would burn that brake fluid really quick. If your car sat, could be those seals are bad.

    50 bucks for a reman at autozone, and you'd need a bench bleed kit.

    really? hmmmm.... i was thinking maybe a coolant hose somewhere went kaboom on the exhaust,because my coolant was infact missing and going somewhere?if im lucky its both lol..either way im pricing it to move i think?lol

    nope pretty sure its hg would rather sell it having someone think its a headgasket(worst case senario) and maybe have them luck out and it be something easy,but im 99% sure its hg thanks tho.!
