hondas123 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I would say it's normal. There's quite a bit of smells associated with this car when you romp it. There are some threads regarding strange smells/odors. Some are initial and go away with time...others have had them to the dealer with no problems found. Use the search and you'll find some interesting reading. - The Mortgage Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbacis Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Yeah, this is the smelliest car I've ever owned. I can avoid the clutch stink for the most part now, but after a romp on the freeway I get a totally different burning smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Weird, I haven't noticed any smells on the freeway or high-speed back roads. Well, aside from the fertilizer smell from some farms of course. I have noticed the clutch stink, but only twice - once when a friend was parallel parking it on a hill the night I got it (his first time driving an LGT), and once two days later with myself driving in creep & crawl where I could rarely let the clutch all the way out. I haven't done much truly high-speed driving yet though. I'm driving down to socal in 2 weeks - I'll get a much better idea of how this car is at high speeds then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 With the windows down I notice a smell from time to time.. I'm going to investigate further once the weather is warmer. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPSGuy Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I get the smell too. It's usually when I really get on the throttle for an extended period of time (like getting it up to 140 kph). I should note, however, that I really didn't notice it until I put on my Cobb catted DP, not that I'm complaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbacis Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 As an update on my stank... I did an oil change yesterday and it turns out I had one of the leaky filters on there. There was a decent amount of oil on the outside of the old filter. I haven't done a lot driving since, but I have yet to notice the smell that was so prevalent before. I'd recommend anyone to check their oil filter for leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
