I bought a 6th Gen Celica on saturday and I'm kind of lost with it. I have only ever owned honda's so this new engine setup it a little confusing. Especially since it also has a T3/T4 turbonetics turbo running on 8 psi and I have never owned a turbo car. Are there any special things that I need to do with it maintenance wise? Also, when the car is driven (before engine warms up) a little bit of white smoke puffs out of the exhaust. Not like a cloud or anything but it is noticeable and annoying. Any input would be great! Thanks!

Hmm... Well first off, welcome. Secondly, post some pictures of your car. It looks like a member's car, so by looking through old posts you might be able to find info that might help.
Is it white smoke only at startup and idle and gradually goes away? White smoke is coolant. Have you changed the oil yet? You should make sure the head gasket didn't fail.
