thick smoke?
i have a friend who recently purchased a first gen rx7
but the only problem is that the exhaust outputs thick smoke.


i was wondering if this was a big problem or not? the car still runs and everything too

If the smoke never stops and: white/sweet smelling, coolant seal, or blueish/oil smell, oil control o-rings, the engine is in need of a a rebuild.
