not my video, but this what my 8 does when it is started cold (below 30F)

 

i hope its normal cuz the same happens to me

 

looks like condensation. happens to me, too. my fd used to do it, too

 

Thats not smoke. thats what happens when warm air meets cold air.

go outside and exhale. same thing.

 

Lol... mine looked like that this morning.. but scale it by 10 times greater. You couldn't even see my car if you were standing behind it. It took a couple seconds, then it died down to normal though

 

Yup it looks normal to me. When I went to buy my 8 last year it hadn't been started for a few days and it was about 45-55 degrees. I saw lost of moisture coming out and a bit of blue from the oil. Then it cleared up. As long as it isn't thick white/blue/black smoke then its all good .

 

i was inclined to think that it is normal as well. the only thing that concerned me a bit is that the white "smoke" from 8 at cold start up is much more noticeable compared to other cars.

this morning was 11F and when I started the car, the white "smoke" poured out of 8 like the f**king 2012 flood

 

well, not just warm air but warm wet air. there must be something about the 8 that keeps moisture in the pipes? hotter exhaust temps maybe have something to do with it?

 

Absolutely normal. All cars will do it upon cold start on a cold day, rotaries are just more noticeable. You should see it with a HKS Hi-Power.

 

Water (condensation) collects in the cat converter and muffler.

 

One of the many things that people don't understand about Rotaries is that we have a DRAGON inside of our engines. Yours is just more pissed because it likes warm temperatures.

 

yes its normal

 

Normal, more noticeable at cold temp

 

lol ... yeah man i live in seattle and last weeks we were around 19 degrees icy and the smoke was just like that ... no worries

 

mine did that, but filled the whole street but that was because I ended up with some water in my tank.

 

Lmfao! Godzilla must have been in my car this morning, cause my car looked like a factory.
