celica gt4 smoking and overheating :(
so my celica is very sick, just spent a load of money on it, new rad, new turbo, slave cylinder, master cylinder had the diff rebuilt, anyway went to drive home today and she sounded very lumpy for first few seconds but was fine after that, the i noticed the temp gauge going up so i put on the heater to keep temps down but it was only blowing out cold air 
pulled up at the house and realised shes smoking badly. fooking cars! any ideas what it could be? i think shes destined for the scrap

if you've had a new rad and the heater is blowing cold, are you sure it has been bled properly? try re-bleeding it first, i had the same issue today on my Mrs BMW after i changed the expansion tank
although if its smoking it doesnt sound good, if you get a misfire from cold & idle, it could be headgasket

the rad was put in a couple of moths back by momentum motorsport and had no problems with heat after that its only today that things are going wrong and it is smoking really badly so im afraid its the head gasket
just trying to add up how much i can get back in parts now
