Looks fine to me. Does it stop once it is warmed up completely?

Thats fine also i think its blue..your burning off oil which every rx7 does :)

Thats alright than haha :) It goes away fairly quickly... yeah it stops completely when warm. But when I do put thefoot down, it blows blackish smoke, but I thin its because my exhaust an pre-cat..

everyone goes through the paranoia phase. once your through with it you will enjoy your car more.

I'm going through that paranoia phase right now, I have a 3 day old car with a street port 3mm seals and 3k on the motor. It smokes on start-up and I'm scared to death the engine is going bye bye...Please tell me this is normal, It's running real rich because of the break-in hasn't been tuned since...

just enjoy the car cause if its going to blow, its going to blow reguardless if your paranoid or not. If its one thing i learned owning this car is taht you have to enjoy it, cause one days it going to blow anyway.
