Default What do YOU smell in your R?

Well, when push the car to VTEC range...or sometimes just a little bid rough on around 5-6k will make my car get stinky.
I usually have the air vent take air from outside, and I am sure it's not the car ahead of me. There are a variety of odors, sometimes like burn oil, sometimes like sulfur gas or maybe burn rubber. And these happens all so frequent when on highways.
But ironically, when I really push the car to the limit, the odor is somewhat less.
So the question is, when you drive your R, do you smell anything? If it's normal that I would like to hear that.

It smells real good when you rev the car to 6k and have the clutch half engaged.

Hmmm.......I often engage the clutch half way doing a turn involving downshifts. Is this any bad for the clutch?

I smell rice in my car jk

Seriously though it sounds (or smells) like the clutch. I had a nasty smell when I glazed my clutch. It continued to smell until I changed it out.

Why does your *** smell new?
Probably because it's never been used...
