Hey,

Just got a Evo IX, and noticed that when I wrap it out, I leave a puff of smoke behind. I have less then 200 miles on the car, and wondering if this is normal. I've yet to have even one IX owner tell me if this is to be expected. Tell me your experience, one way or the other.... I only leave smoke when I push the car hard. Do these cars just run rich, or do I have a more serious issue....?

Thanks!

what color is the smoke, white would mean oil or coolant burning normally and black or dark colored is rich, which is normal since the car is tuned rich from factory?

I can't really tell what color it is, as I'm way down the road by the time I see it in the rearview. I guess I'll have to get someone to ride behind me.

Anyone else experience smoke right off on high revs? Normal??

your probably running rich or at least i would hope so throw a video camera in the back if no one wants to follow you

your car has 200 miles on it and your beating on it like that. not a smart thing to do break in is very important

Yeah, it's super hard not to push her right off... It's about as hard as not checking out some hott chick walking in front of you...

i know its hard.. but honestly how hard is waiting 1000 miles.. using your analogy.. Its like meeting and acting like your really interested into what the hot girls says than when she's finally comfortable with you.. You get to drive her as hard and as long as you want........... the car!! lol..
