Question

Just been following an Evo and we stopped at a couple of sets of lights, firstly the guy couldnt drive for ****, stalled every time he pulled off, and everytime he nailed it a massive plume of black smoke pumped out the exhaust. I've noticed this on other Evo's, but this one today was particulary excessive!!!

Just wondering!

Evos are renowned for blowing crap out...

If its black (like it is on mine) its just running a bit rich.

Only does of when i welly it, & not enough for me to see in the car but people following me have mentioned it before.

Touch wood, it never uses any oil either

The official Mitsubishi colour is actually Dandelion Yellow, hence why it is now called The Dandelion.
