h22a - lots of black smoke when in full throttle vtec
i've got a 93 vtec lude, and whenever i push full throttle into vtec range...theres a heap..and i mean A HEAP of black smoke dumped from my exhaust
anyone have any explanations for this?
i've got aftermarket headers and custom 2.5inch custom exhaust and muffler?
on another note...i'm using mobil 1 5w-50...and at every oil change..approx. 5000km, i notice that its ?burnt? up around 1.5 litre of oil ..sometimes more...
is this normal?

You're spark plgs should be an even light grey color. If they are dark brown or black, then you are running rich.

this is open to anyone: ..what are some lightweight rims available for the lude - that dont look too outrageous (any websites advertising any wheels?)...coz i know my stock wheels are 19kg each!...as compared with an ITR weighing less than half of this

Mine were $525 shipped with some bald dunlops, but you should be able to get them for much cheaper.

yeh they would be good..cept for the fact that they are about 10mm thinner than the lude stock wheels right?...wouldn't that adversely affect the handling?

Get Rota wheels. You can get a set of 16x7 Spoon Look-a-like wheels that weight around 14 lbs apiece(i cant remember the exact number) and you can get a set for about 500. Look on modacar.com, I believe they sell them on there.
