My S Smokes when getting on it?!?
I was playing with my hubby on the way home from getting an oil change on his EVO. I was in front of him and we both took off. He said that when I was shifting, puffs of smoke would come out of the exhaust. Well, I've never been behind my car when getting on it, so I dont know if this is normal.
I have 11,750 on him and he was broken in properly (700 before getting on him to 8500 rpm, and 650 mi for Vtec up to 8K) . We finally went to synthetic oil at 10,500 miles. Like I said, I've never been behind an S almost redlining it, so I dont know if this is normal. Oil level is perfect and clean.

My guess is it will be dark/blackish. I have watched this on other s2k's when running hard.
The cause is from unburnt fuel in the exhaust system and ratehr harmless. (other than making your tips dark

yeah, my tips are black inside. I wiped it with my finger and it didnt smell like gas, but I guess thats what it is. As long as I didnt blow a seal!!! Too many engine problems, now I freak for every little thing.

I agree with those in the discussion, the smoke ocurring at WOT sounds normal. I see it too on various cars that go to WOT.
From the previous 03 Cobra I had to the Audi S4 I drive daily.
If its black, it's carbon and it's normal.

if its a brief puff probably normal-
i have tailed several s2000s and have not seen white (moisture) or dark (oil or fuel) smoke on a car that is fully warmed up very often.
is your oil consumption pretty normal (after 10k miles with synthetic it should be pretty minimal)?
i would also check all plugs to make sure they are properly tightened.
