is it me or does your 8's release a ton of carbon monoxide... i never noticed the smell with any other car before.. but like in my 8 litteraly 3 seconds after it starts you can smell the fumes and see the smoke... is this normal for a 8/rotary? cuz all my other cars dont do it to the point where i can smell the fumes that much....

 

Carbon monoxide has no odor, so what you're probably smelling is unburned fuel-oil exiting the exhaust. At startup, the RX-8 fuel-air mixture is very rich and some of that leaves the combustion chamber unburned or incompletely burned. Just check out the tips of your exhaust pipes and you will see the black deposit of unburned carbon material. Nothing to worry about.

 

haha ohhhhhh will the rev to 3000rpm before shut off help?

 

Maybe marginally if shut down cold, but the difference likely will not be noticable.

 

his 8 is alos probably brand new and he is smelling the oil on the steel a it slowly cooks off. itll take a couple thousand miles to go completly away. part of the new car experience
