just bought a 97 uk turbo first night thought i would see what it could do! 5000 rev pull away from the lights the car just screamed and went no where and i got the bad burning clutch smell so i took it straight home and put it on the drive way
any way the clutch seems fine and isn,t slipping but a day or two later when the engines hot i can still smell a bit of burning when iam next to the engine is this normal and will it go or have i knackered the clutch

Did the same with mine, could smell it for over a week but its not knackered..probably shortened its life span drastically though
