If you are an autocrosser, or have been racing your S2000 and have had problems like me with huge plumes of blue smoke, please e-mail me your story. I used to be an Associate at American Honda and have some connections on the inside, and am pushing for a fix to the problem, however, I need everyone's help to submit stories and let them know that this is a big problem, I'm sick of seeing BLACK FLAGS.

Engine. The other postings are already archived (from Oct.), but it has to do with oil being sucked into the PCV system and into the intake, leading to huge blue smoke.

Hey Brian

I guess you're referring to this thread started when you had that blue-smoke problem at VIR.

Not too many people chimed in with the problem, but I suspect few owners push their cars to the limit.

The jury is still out on this, some think it's overfilled oil. But didn't you actually drain quite a bit of oil out of your car at the event?

I didn't drain any oil out of the car at the event, however, if you'll remember my oil level was much farther below yours, and I was still getting the problem. My buddy at Honda has forwarded the e-mail I sent with the prior posting link to the S2000 Project Engineer and the Special Project Team at AHM, I'm trying to gather as much info as possible to give to them so they'll provide a fix. I suspect that if you own one, and haven't seen the problem, you're going too slow. ha ha ha.

I think it also depends on the track. I've only seen it on particular turns.
