burning white!!
 

this is a photo of what my 8's pipes burn like after a good ride... :)

Do you drive the snott out of it? :)

Paul.

Them babies must get HOT. Surprised you haven't melted the rear bumper off.
Just proves how much carbon build up you get from driving around like an old lady.
And how clean it burns at 10,000 rpms lol

Good color.....
 

That would be a good color for a sparkplug!

Never seen an exhaust that color..... :Eyecrazy:

S

mines always black

that's the way it should b driven! i try 2 keep it that colour, have'nt had a days problem on 85.OOO km's.

Wow, my exhaust has never been that color, always black. Usually have black soot all over the bumper and my shrouds are both slowly melting away though.

That's how mine look after a 25 minute track session. Wish I had the time & money to get my tips that color more often.

Hey.. Mine.. Too..
That sure is cool.

HAHA

you guys wanna hear a retarded ghetto rigged exhaust situation? I got my rear bumper
-passenger exhaust outlet melted off
-several spots between where the catalytic pipe starts, and where it ends either blackened by a bad exhaust gasket (that I have no idea how to hear until a friend tells me) OR melted, as in having a pipe with no cat and a resonator MELTED that thing that was a heat shield...

I think 4 inch tips is a thing to blame... And getting that rx8store HFC was awesome, but when I changed the pipes my passenger exhaust tips always starts going up for no reason. The best idea I've had to stop it was putting a metal piece between the exhaust hangars, but lately it just hasn't been working...

And mine never get white like that... wtf

Mines black as tar,

I have a question though.... I mean i get some pretty bad carbon build up on my exhaust tips. Im wondering if this is because the cars running too rich? and if it is running rich, what other signs will i get that it is?

Mine get a shooty black color that wipes off easily. I haven't pushed my 8 anything beyond 6/10 of my limit, tho.

Dave

What kind of oil do you use phat8?

Duck!!!

I ask that because he lives in South Africa...

The fuel and oil is most likely different than what is common in the States. ;)

Castrol Edge Sport 10W-60. Fuel 93/95 Octane Unleaded.

interesting.............. white......... its like clean farts............ as oppose to our black carbon dirty farted 8s?

Looks like no cats

would have it that way if i could... but would lose my warranty. i've only got half the HKS system. 'from' the original cats to the back HKS. :cool:

:fart: :lach: what can i say? she's healthy...

black smoke = running rich
white smoke = running lean

you'd rather your car running rich than lean at any given time.

this i know. thank u. had my fair shair of experience from 2 stroke bikes... :) She only runs this colour when im driving in the high RPM'S over a period of time. she burns black most of the time, it's the heat from the constant high RPM's as 'Easy E1' and 'Expo 1' mentioned. there's never any black or white smoke. :wink2:

Why is anyone paying this Phat8 guy? Do you all not remember flaming him for doing donuts on a public street during broad daylight? I thought we all agreed that his agressive driving made him an idiot and a sexually frustrated bastard....

I'm very confused.... Please tell me what to think of Phat8...

Oh BTW check out the "parked cars in illegal spots" thread - it's blazin'!

Paying? :confused:

Are you asking what to think of agressive driving?


:uhh: ...

:) i say, think 4 urself what 2 think of me? agressive driving? ''ok!'' I replied telling everyone i was having a event at my shop that day of the donuts. (spl, show n shine and burn out compettition.) the road was managed by the local metro police and event staff. i think my ''flaming'' was from not introducing myself properly? who knows... i'm not part of any forums as i don't really get much enjoyment and time 4 and from computers. so if so, excuse the formallities, i do enjoy driving fast and having fun with my 8, that's why i bought it. i can't understand seeing some one with a fast car and not wacking it and using it's potential it. what's the point?? formallities, donuts, driving fast, watching porn...?? love me, hate me.......... :icon_tup:
