are you sure it's not a sulphur smell? There is a TSB to replace the catalyzer due to this smell, you might wanna check into that.

As kurokoma-kun said, check to see if there is plastic wrapping you did not take off the intake that could be melting on the engine.

Or check under the car, there could be some kind of road debris stuck somewhere on the exhaust.

[nqd]

aiight check that....i have a reason to bleieve that its the tire rubbing on the plastics.....other than that....i dunno


also....what does a burning clutch smell like????

[kurokoma-kun]

More of a metallic smell. What makes you think it the clutch? Any other noises etc?

[nqd]

burning clutch smells like burning rubber.

[nqd]

rubber burning or metallic rubber burning......hm.....

[steved]

I sell clutches, if it's your clutch is burning, trust me you'll know the smell. (sorta like smoldering newspaper).

If you clutch is not slipping, especially in the higher gears you should be alright.
