Blue smoke?
Ok I have a TII and when I start the motor she puts out some blue smoke for about 20 seconds or so but once shes done shes fine i can driver her hard and everything is ok with her. I was curious what this may be. Any ideas?

I dunno, If it smokes blue for a few seconds thats normal.
The rotary is oil injected so there is oil in the combustion chamber that burns off when you start it up. It shouldnt last more than a few seconds though. Does the car seem to use a lot of oil?

it should only really puff some smoke at startup id worry about your oil seals.
you losing a lot of oil?
rev it to 4k and hold it there for 30 seconds at start up if it smokes well then you have a problem
