182 exhaust smoke on cam



  Clio 182 cup
Hi everyone! I'm new to fast clio ownership and so far it's great! I just have one niggling concern over how my 182 behaves when it's being driven properly. I understand this is a bit repetitive but I just need to know I haven't bought a duff one! The previous owner had the cat removed and it smokes at high revs. I see from previous threads that this appears to be a fairly normal inconvenience and I'm in no doubt that removing the cat won't help but if anyone with good knowledge could settle my nerves I'd be grateful! It doesn't block the view out the rear window in any way but it is noticeable and slightly worrying. I'm reluctant to drive it hard until I know what's at fault, if anything is. It has a full history and had new oil 3k ago. All fluid levels are fine and don't appear to be dropping at anything other than a normal rate. Exhaust smoke isn't something I've experienced before in a NA petrol engine so any advice would come in handy. The cat will be going back on soon by the way - what's the point in not having one?!??

Thanks in advance
