Yesterday it was raining pretty ahrd, i took the seven out for a drive, and had some fun, then driving back i came aroudn the corner to go to my dorm and the car spun right around sideways and it tacked out to about 10,000 rpms (obviously not intentional), i let off the gas quickly but was sketched out about the incident, so when i got out and walked around the car i noticed one exhaust pipe smoking a bit, couklda been water bruning off, but it looks like there was pooled oil in it or gas, or maybe both, but just like a coating on the rim of my Greddy muffler and only on the passengers side, so i smelled it and the exhaust semlt a little burnt, kinda like oil or gas, keep in mind i have removed OMP and am running premix, so i then wipped it and smelled my finger and it didnt smell like gas or oil, more like carbon would, how can i check today ebfore i go to make the trip home if it is safe to run,right after i noticed this stuff i took it out and went easy on it to about 6000 roms a few times and she semmed fine, i about had a heart attack, would checking oil or collant give any clues??

Boy, you can't control your car in the rain...and you want to convert to carbs...scary...

The exhaust spews burnt petroleum fuels - it's supposed to that.&nbsp I dunno how you got "10,000 rpms", as the highest FC stock tach only goes to 9,000RPM to my knowledge.

I wouldn't worry about anything - just be glad you didn't hit anything...

Sounds like you just blew a shitload of carbon outta the engine.

If you had toasted it, you'd know by driving it. Smoking, rough/not able to idle, no power. All signs of an engine gone to ****.

If you really wanna know if you did any damage, get a compression test.

Sounds like you just got lucky, in every sense of the word.
