I think that's perfectly normal. It's just condensation. Look at all the water dripping on the grouund.
My son's 98GT does that very same thing. My 5.0 hardly does it at all.

i just lol'd at your faceplant. looks normal to me too... i would just get the pi swap stuff and see if it keeps doing it after the swap. long as you get the intake too, you would rule out like 80% of the things it could be

I donno dude. I don't really even know how you could figure it out to be honest. take the intake mani off and see if it's cracked? make sure your hoses are all tight. was this happening before you put the new coolant tank on?

Right now it looks like condensation in the exhaust. I want to be sure it is not. Best way to do that is to heat and push out any moisture. The hour is so you don't have to beat the piss out of your car to get itdry in there.

That's what I'm thinking too. Driving it around will just heat up the exhaust and burn out all the water.
Are you just stopping by every week or so start the car up and let it run for 5-10 minutes? If so, then your setting up the exhaust to rust from the inside out

i usually drive it and let it run for about 20 mins. then just put it back. havent done that even lately with these wheels, lol. i cant get myself to be seen in these effers, haha.

i will get it out this weekend and spend some time driving it. let it get really warmed up and try to see if a lot of that shit burns off and the smoke chills.

i know that a lot is def normal condensation. but can you get that same smoke when it is warm outside? it did this in the summer..although not as heavy, but still some smoke here and there.

I'm still saying it's just condensation.
You probably just have a huge amount of water in the exhaust that needs to be burned out.
I would want to be seen with those wheels either. Maybe just drive it around at night on poorly lit roads.
