Default Smoking Cosworth

I was on the M4 this morning, 61 plate red Impreza Cosworth joined at Port Talbot heading in the Cardiff direction.

The guy driving floored it off into the distance, I didn't stand a chance obviously! But it was puffing a lot of blue smoke from the LH exhausts

I wonder if he knows his engine is fooked.

Fair enough, I thought they were just all that one colour.

Rings probably not bedded in yet. And yes they did red, there is a thread in general with a chap who has just bought a red one.

Think its quite common on the quad exhaust for one side to soot up more than the other so could have been one side smoking a bit burning off some deposits.
