Toasty Smell

TazioNYC · 03-22-2008, 08:44 AM

So I was driving around in the 135, being pretty aggressive, but notning crazy, and when I would stop, I could smell somehting that smelled like a toaster's heating elements. It was definitely not brake or clutch smell.

Oil burning off the new exhaust. I have it too.

Time to go burn more exhaust oil off for me.

Ah, phew! I have been known to be slightly neurotic about stuff like this, so thanks for the reassurance :-)

So, TP, how does it compare to the Cayman S? I drove one over the summer and loved it.
