Default Thanks to Jeff @ Velocity, the mystery plastic burning smell is almost gone... Long

Went to Velocity today, took Jeff for a spin to try to duplicate the smell (Coming from the front left side, annoying as hell...) and of course, the smell was oozing out all over... We couldn't exactly pinpoint the origin, but our guess is fluids/ grease around and under the engine block. So Jeff whipped out his degreaser, sprayed all over the hood and waited 10 min. Rinsed the crap off and let it dry a bit, and I was off to try and duplicate the smell... Boy, what do u know, the smell has almost completely vanished. On the way home, I can still smell it a bit, but its nothing like it was for the past 10 days... I hope degreasing the parts have solved the problem. Anyways, Jeff hooked me up... thanks dude!
