Picked up my 86 GTS MT 21/9

The day finally came today and I am the proud owner of an 86

Just wondering if anyone else has had this at about 17km on the odo some smoke came out from the exhaust...stopped now but is this normal?

Also the GPS needs recalibrating as its not picking up any of the satellites...anyone know how? The manual for the unit is the same size as the one for the car!

Will upload a pic when I find out how...
