Mazsurfer, I 100% agree with the coils/plugs for the misfire. But it would be a long stretch to link over filling the overflow bottle with tons of white smoke pouring out of the tailpipes and it getting worse when she pushes on the accelerator pedal. I want to be optimistic about it as well...

But yes, the first step would be to fix the misfire If that doesn't do it...do a 3 rotor swap

Agreed, I somewhat got locked into the misfire/coil and bad CAT as the potential source of the smoke from tailpipes, then the coolant just being overfilled as a seperate issue really................all this was until she started telling me(us) just how much smoke was involved. I didn't know she was killing mosquitoes, small birds, and diverting air traffic.

Past's Blackrx8 talking to Future's Blackrx8

Why does the inside of the tailpipe looks so reddish in color?

Ok guys I FINALLY got the car to quit smoking. I changed the spark plug wires, spark plugs, ignition coils and flushed the coolant out and added new coolant. SHE DRIVES LIKE A BEAUTY NOW!
