Default smokey STI

Had a great days club racing my MY05 sti at Collie last Sunday (first time in a WRX), ......very impressed with the whole package, and my times I might add after not having driven on a racetrack for nearly 20 years!

Drove the car onto the back of the truck and took it home to Perth.

Started the car on Wednesday to drive it off the truck, and it chundered big heaps of blue smoke for a while, only clearing (not totally) after about 5 mins. Parked it up until today (Sat).

Started it today and took for a drive, no smoke, no probs and engine singing beautifully

As I said in my intro, new to all this. Is there something I didn't do after racing that has caused all the smoke?

Mark (as green as!)

Could be a bit of blow by that collected into the interooler.

When restarted, oil in the intercooler went into the motor, causing the smoke.

Possibly, pull out the intercooler and see if its oily.
