first time i recorded my RX-8 revving it, noticed some smoke after i let off the throttle, wondering if this is ok/normal. also, some decent flames/fireballs. Runs strong as hell. i redline at least once per drive (8k+), and premix with TCW3 (might switch to idemitsu), always run premium (92 or higher, preferably sunoco 93), and its always had oil changed at 3k with 10w-30 non-synthetic. At idle, on first start-up, it BARELY smokes till it warms up, only when i premix at 8oz/12 gallons. Never smoked before i started premixing that i had noticed.
pics attached of said fireballs as well as oil smoke for reference. and fun:jump:
