Re: My SXi
Here's a little vid and yes I know I broke the cardinal rule of not revving a car from cold.

It's subtle which is how I like it

Re: My SXi
Well it didn't hang around if you get my meaning, usually if it's the HG the smoke hangs in the air for a while. It's nothing I'm worried about tbh, the beauty of these cars is they are cheap and easy to fix

Re: My SXi
My car would smoke like that on a cold morning
If it disappears in the air it's just because the air coming out is warmer than the outside air
A burning smoke like you said will sit around in the air for a while
,exhaust sounds good though just a bit louder, I like it

If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway
