If you didn't fart in the car, neither did your passengers, and you smell something, IT'S YOUR CLUTCH!!!

lol, if u try to launch with a restrictor pill... you're going to smell it inside the car, outside the car, and everyone around you will smell it... The smell will stay for a couple days depending on how bad u glazed up the clutch.

the first thing any evo owner should do when they buy it is to remove the res. pill and put on a SS clutch line. Like day and night! And those sweet no smell launches of the stock 2-step is great.

Do you usually slip the clutch to launch or just let go the clutch?

Make sure there isnt some plastic bag glued to some part of your exhaust pipe. One time i noticed a horrific smell coming from my car...thought it was my clutch...looked under my car and saw a plastic bag glued to my exhaust. What a relief.
