im smoking

[roninjiro]

got plugs and drove few more miles, doesnt smoke while drivining the car, but does at idle occasionally, would have driven it more, but the most stupidest thing on my part happened! i never tightend the oil pan plug, so my z out of nowhere was engulfed in smoke, i pulled to the next street and checked under the car, huge pool of oil and a long trail of oil behind me. anyhow got another plug and refilled oil and drove home.
