Hey everyone i just bought a MR2 Mk1 for 300 dollars, got it towed to my house and cranked it up and i got her to purr. I only ran it for about 5 seconds because i didnt want to screw anythign up. I saw some what seemed like smoke coming out of the timing belt cover. i know that cant be good. the car was sitting for about 6 months and has about 141k miles on it. I plan on turning it into a sick nasty autocross car. Any suggestions on where to get started? thanks, David
