Smoke coming from the Exhaust
 

Hey guys, I picked up my FRS today, but when i got home and turned off the car. Smoke was coming out of only the right exhaust pipe for about a minute. Is this normal did anyone else experience this. Also while putting the first 10 miles on the car four times this burnt smell came within the car, so I pulled it to the side and it was coming from the engine bay any ideas?

Yes, its normal just some chemicals and what not that was used to ship the car here being burned off. No worries just enjoy your car! =]

But for a pointer, you should also try searching in this forum since there are threads that have discussed this

You might also get some smoke on startup if you haven't driven it for a while due to the nature of a horizontally opposed engine and oil buildup

all the preservatives burning off, itll go away

oh thank you all!

Right as in which side from which perspective? Lol... Anyways here's a similar thread, and congrats to your ownership!

Agreed! I've always used passenger or drivers side. I reckon we should start using port and starboard like with boats. Port being left side when looking forward and starboard being right when looking forward.

And then we could put red and green navigation lights on - cool :thumbsup:

Clearly someone needs to make an 86/FRS boat.

My car smells like it's burning, I'm hoping it's the same thing

How many miles are you at?

Me? About 1000.

You mean like this one?

Oh, sorry, my bad... that's a BRZ. :D

Lmao! :bellyroll: Need to make that into a forum meme...

Looks like the starboard navigation light is red instead of green!
