NEW EVO8 Smells...
My friend bought a new EVO8, and it smells funny. It smells like a plastic burning, but not quite pronounced. It doesnt smell like burning clutch. Is this normal?

It's called Cosmolene, it comes on cars imported from overseas. It prevents rust on undercarriage while being on the boat during shipping. It should go away within 1000miles.

My car did this as well; to me it seemed like undercoating spray that hit the exhaust bits. I just ended up taking it for 400 mile (round trip) drive and that solved the problem.

When me and my friend drove off the lot with his EVO, we thought the POS van in front of us is stinking up the place. Then we pulled over to his house to find out its his car making the stinky smell.
I told him its normal, when i installed an aftermarket exhaust on my car it made the same smell.
Thnx guys for the responce ill print this out and give it to him, his being paranoid about it.
