Tires?no smell on my mr when i smash.

90 percent chance your wheel-well is rubbing on your tires... Get in there with a flashlight and look for rub marks and or holes in the plastic

Kinda hard to know without knowing your setup. I get a rubber smell from my tires... but I like that.

Check each wheel (carefully) for a very hot brake too.

I had a rubberish smell before turns out some plastic bag got stuck under my exhausted and melted. See if you got anything stuck under the car

Ran into this a month or two back. Nothing was rubbing, and nothing melted.
Found countless threads on this with no explanation. So strange.

Had the same issue with my ralliart ends up it was the drive belt and pulleys. There was a recall for it to. I hope that helps you out

450whp on stock clutch. Impressive!






Get a new clutch

rubber and clutch are very different smells. Clutch has a putrid burning like hair smell.

I'm curious as to how you have 450whp and don't know the difference between burning rubber and clutch, and how your clutch is still handling all that power! My Evo is my first manual and I knew right away when I was burning the clutch(first time I was paranoid).
