If the turbos are not draining properly the oil will pass the seals into the intake and smoke.

[@TheInja]

Ah. That's probably it. Just need to run it more soon and let it works itself out.

[@NoReverse77]

The mclarens always smoke after they have sit for a while.

[@takshpatel6207]

DDE 720 GTR has the same issue as well

[@patrickharding8851]

my first thought too. Oil bypassing seals in the turbos. had a couple of turbo cars with oil not draining from the turbos, and you would have thought I was fogging the neighborhood for pest control with the amount of smoke rolling.

[@pierreperk7079]

Hello I was wondering if you could help me answer a couple questions with your mercedes S L did you have any problem with your convertible top..and do you work on other people car

[@martindOO7]

One of my all time favourite channels. Bought an electric driver kit from Inja and am now the proud owner of a small piece of a McLaren. Historic! Legend!

[@TheInja]

Let's gooooo 🔥🔥🔥 hope you loved it!!

[@69Dartman]

You're so close now, and you do what you have to do to line up the body kit and make things fit. Nobody will see any of it from the outside. And you're learning all kinds of useful skills like repairing electronics. That car is going to be so awesome for you when done and you'll know it inside and out. I have jury rigged parts I didn't have by making what I did have work once I knew what the part was trying to do and modify mine to work. I made a shift linkage work on my Dart for the 4bbl upgrade by just throwing a small bolt in the slotted bar to make it think it was shorter like the one I needed. Worked for many years till I finally found the right part. Keep living your dream. 👍

I'm from the UK and live in a terraced house, like a row of joined small houses,my next door neighbours are students, they play music have small gatherings once a week, I can hear them laughing and joking, singing until early hours, but it never bothers me, because I was young once. I'd do anything to go back 25 years, so hearing them makes me smile .Hope they dont mind me starting my Yamaha banshee when I get it lol

Was thinking the same as you.

[@Lumptious47]

Agreed

[@pierreperk7079]

Love your videos. You actually show the work being done..

[@RealRickCox]

Man... the car is looking GREAT. Having the front body panels on sure made this project feel like it's close to being done. Being a one man show... it reminds me a lot of where Tavarish started. Great job.

[@TheInja]

Ah man, I appreciate that. Your comment just rushed me back to one of my favorite KZbin series back in the day, his Gallardo project. Thanks a ton, Rick. Can't wait to see this thing painted and on the road 🙌🏽

[@RealRickCox]

@@TheInja That's when I found Freddy. He was still working in his garage, showing us how to repair a Lamborghini clutch on a budget. I was there in the beginning - just like you. :D

[@18wheeler77]

I think it’s so cool that you learn as you go on your McClaren. Maybe in the future you can help out other McClaren owners that don’t want to pay an arm and a leg at a dealership for simple fixes. Great job on the car and can’t wait to see you ripping it!

[@williamking9200]

In my 25 years of auto mechanics white smoke 95% of the time is combustion gas getting into your cooling system meaning head gasket starting to fail. Bluish/white smoke is oil. I'd do a test on the cooling system to check for combustion gas and do a compression test. It will run fine until it blows but alot of white smoke to little white smoke back to alot is usually always coolant...

[@mikemcguffin6528]

Great job hope and pray everything works out for you

[@BowsettesFury]

Looks insane. ❤

[@hojo9115]

Car looks great. Body work takes a lot of time and skill to be honest it took me years to get good at it plus serving my apprenticeship taught me a lot. Not forgetting of course some great people I worked with and learnt from . Congratulations you've done well

[@Trixboomer]

Nice work. I’m super stoked for you. You have crossed so many hurdles with this car and the learning is so next level. Congrats!

[@SaiMorphX]

yeah, that won't pass smog atm. I'd get a 10 or 30 day moving permit and hope the smoking works itself out being driven around. This has been an awesome trip, thanks for taking us with you on it!

First of all love your content, second great job only 3 weeks on the body kit. DDE sent there 720 to Arizona to Bspoke and spent a couple of months putting on the GT body kit widebody kit they say it was over a 1000 hours. So great job considering you do it part time.

[@LIGHTBULBCODING]

Brilliant video as always!!! I love to see the project slowly take form. And with the new body panels, it's a giant leap towards being done.

[@suhilalremagah5525]

Great job dude keep going ❤❤❤

btw looking at the rear, the gearbox casing looks quite "inefficient" ~squared (for a supercar at least), it should line-up more tightly so there's more space for diffuser

check the oil return lines in the turbos to make sure not clogged or crimped could be from smoke or seals

So fun watching your journey on this car. Can't wait to see the whole car in that one beautiful maroon color. Also, Safety Restore is awesome. I have used them a few times. Small jobs and big. Easy to work with and they communicate all the way through. Don't sweat the production quality. I think it's perfect. It's not like you are DDE with a full crew. lol Keep costs low and the content high!

[@TheInja]

Yeah it's coming together! Safety restore should get the units today! So hoping I get it back on Friday!

[@brandonfranks9027]

You're doing an awesome job keep going don't give up

[@willlurie]

Check out your CCV valve. The smoke can be caused by too much oil feeding back into the intake due to a bad diaphragm (among other things in that assembly). It's intended to return vapors back into the intake, but it can let oil in, if faulty. You can test it pretty easily. Take vice grips and clamp them on the large, soft hose that goes from the CVV to the top of the head, disappearing underneath the intake manifold, blocking off the flow. If you start the car while that's clamped off and the smoke is immediately gone, you'll know the issue is part of the CCV assembly. DM me if you need pictures and I can show you on my MP4-12C.

[@kevinhemming26]

Im keeping up with this project from the uk.. love the vids.. my thoughts on the white smoke although im not a mechanic.. white smoke usually means coolant getting into the combustion mix.. like when a head gasket is gone.. i hope this is not the case as its a cylinder head off job 😬

If the smoke is blue, it's burning oil, but when the smoke is white, it's burning water. Do a compression test if it keeps smoking and be sure to disconnect all the coils when you do that.

[@TheInja]

Looks blue to me on camera. Smells like any other sportcar on cold start, so I'm not too worried yet about engine damage. Probably just oil seeping past from overfilling it. Probably just needs to run for longer!

Your Chinese body kit issues mirror issues Damon DDE had with his Maclaren recently. He spent all that money having Creative bespoke install it, and his kit still fits like crap, and the wheels rub.😂 Yours looks better, and the time lapse video was way more entertaining than watching do nothing Damon drone on about how cool his kit will look, then teasing it for 5 videos. Im getting tired of that guy.😂 Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see you hit the road, and enjoy all your hard work. Oh, and I think the front end will look awesom color matched to the rest of the car. I love that burgundy (or whatever it is) color.

if you have any issues with the airbag system the light will come back on and with the light on the rest of the airbags won’t explode so just be careful with the whole srs system.
