Does your evo smoke like this?

Im really concerned about my car right now and i really would appreciate help. Does your evo smoke like this. Its does it constantly even when the engine is warm. The car has been sitting around for a long time. About 4 months but started about every 3 days. The exhaust is not stock. From what i understand it has a 3in full exhaust with a cat. I believe all O2 sensors are there. No resonator. I have ideas of what it may be but i would like to hear yours.

That isn't smoke, it's cold out side. Expect it. Would you think there's something wrong if an individuals breath did this in winter? No.

you say it does it when warm to but i take it your not driving the car. If you were to drive it around and take it through the paces the condensation would clear out but even sitting their idling and getting warm it wont just clear out not enough heat in the exhaust. I have stains on my drive way from where my car sits and i crank it up it shoots speckles of water and carbon mix on the drive way

You will get smoke when the car is cold like that white color. But, it could also mean a bad headgasket. Blue smoke is oil black smoke is a rich mixture. Does the car run hot? take off your radiator cap (when its COLD) and start the car. See if you can see bubbles in the coolant. If you do your headgasket is bad or warped head exc.

Not trying to scare him just giving him a easy test to check. Cant hurt to check. We don't know whet his mods are, and apparently neither does he.
