What does your exhaust consist of? Stock Cat, Pre-Cat?
Mods, otherwise?

These cars run rich from the getgo but it shouldn't be anything too drastic. In fact it's just enough to be kind of "cool" yet not obnoxious :P

its a rotary they have a smell to the exhaust becouse of the way they burn the air fuel mixture as it doesn't burn it completly. Plus they burn oil as well, and if you have your cats still on the car and one of them is bad it will just plain stink like bad eggs.
