Evo X smoking???
Just wondering if anyone else's car was doing this. Every time i pass a buddy in my car (Evo X) they said that it smoke really bad under full throttle. Is this normal, because i no the car is running rich from the factory, and is any one else car doing this.

They need to hurry cause running rich washes the cylinder walls and is not good for the motor

Have a buddy drive next to you then FLY by him and see if it still doesnt smoke. Let up know. I am almost 100% it is you just really cant see it unless you reall look for it in your rear view mirrow.
