Do you have carbon on your bumper too?

My bumper has a nice carbon collection on it from my H22a and test pipe. It shoots 5 foot flames sometimes on redline shifts.

That would be awesome to see, LOL. My car was running so rich for awhile, it would spit black soot out of the exhaust pipe when started. There are two black circles on my garage door from starting in the garage while the door was down.

One time my friend was putting something in my trunk when I hit the auto-start. He was wearing khaki (sp) pants and when the car started it shot a big black spot the size of a softball onto his pantleg. LMAO...I guess maybe you had to be there...

ever seen a car run rich as hell, burn oil, leak antifreeze into the head and eat metal

try having smoke of 4 different colors and intensities come out of your car

its usually from exhaust build up or test pipe. Its no big deal, but just dont let it sit for a long time or it will be hard to get out of the paint.
