Whenever I really get on the gas or when I'm idling I smell burnt rubber. It smells exactly like I just did a burnout. I checked the belt and that is fine. I'm not sure what else to look at?

 

car isnt slammed is it?

 

Not really. People are always telling me to go lower... But I get where you're going with that question, and that isn't something I thought about yet. I have been running the same suspension setup for over a year, and went with wider tires about 6 months ago. I never had any clearance issues, but my struts are getting worn out so maybe my car is a little lower than before. I don't hear any rubbing issues unless I'm braking hard and turning and the tires hit the plastic inner linning on the fenders on the fronts.

 

youre probably rubbing..mine does the same thing when i hit a bump or something. if you take your wheels off, youll probably see where the rubbing is.

 

stop picking up fat chicks

 

Are you definate on the rubber smell? No other smells you could be confusing? Check all belts and make sure nothing is touching the exh mani. Otherwise if you're close to the beach area i wouldn't mind taking a look at it.

 

get your alignment checked. i had the same problem from a bad alignment. after i got out of the car from driving it, it smelled like i did a burnout.

 

I'm 100% sure it isn't the belt

I'll have to take a look at it when I can get it on the rack at work that lifts the whole car up and not from the frame so the suspension can't drop. I did get an alignment done a few months ago from when I wrecked my car. I've been meaning to check it myself but haven't had time.

 

hey anthony. your clutch slipping at all? you mash the brakes after getting into it?

 

Nah, no slipping. I usually don't hit the brakes at all after getting into it. I just let it slow down on it's own or I just tap them.
