Hi people!

Not sure if its an issue with the car,but when i was revving(red line ) stationary today to annoy my wife,I noticed black smoke coming out from exhaust ! Is that normal or I have to worry now?Car drives fine!

just to add: i did a quick run to the shop and back ,could it be that car wasn't properly warmed up?!

You red line revved it and you hadn't warmed it up :surrender::scare:

Not as bad as you think! Shop is 10min one way,so I had it warmed up of course after whole trip,but may be not as much as it should be for proper red lining!!??

Probably too much fuel. Air filter due a change/clean?

actually i had a very low tank and have aftermarket air intake! May be its time to clean it !

Revving the engine high with no load on it is not something I'd recommend . Chances are you have loosened some carbon and soot from inside the exhaust.

I think he may mean too much fuel injected into the cylinders (running rich) as you can't have too much in the tank!
