My car unfortunately has a leaky rear transmission seal, so it leaks oil onto the catalytic converter. So you can imagine what that smells like.

Supras usually smell like a combination of the following:

-Burning oil (all types)
-Burning coolant
-Burning oil & coolant
-Dirty carpet
-Rust
-And usually an air freshener to try and cover it up

All of the above and hot ceramic exhaust coating

Mine smells okay except for the engine smell. Thats because I will need to seal the grommet on the firewall where my wideband and gauge wirings come in.

cheers,

Mine smells like a strange mixture of "clean" (dunno how else to describe it) and then after about 10 minutes or so, the scent of burning oil returns to me, lol.
