My car smokes pretty bad in the morning when its cold and then sometimes when i downshift it smokes white. The guy whos doing my clutch said it was probably my rings which i know is pretty expensive to fix. Will it cause a problem if i keep driving like this?

your probably running rich. I doubt its the rings. But a good idea would be to try and do a compression test just to rule out any engine failure issues. Do you have a check engine light? oh and what are your mods

catless exhaust will smoke alot too. Do a compression test post the Numbers we can tell you if your motor is healthy with that. I bet its nothing to worry about but without seeing it I cant be sure of course

is cause you have no cat. All turbo cars burn a little oil , even my Evo. all turbo cars with no cat smoke out of the exhaust, and all turbo cars run rich , and depending on mods and the car somtime rich enough that it smells and can burn your eyes (like my Evo)
