>Gee, I hate to point out the obvious, so I phrase it this way. When I had
a terrible exhaust/gas smell that would invade my TR, especially under 45
mph, I actually found that it was not tuning, not gas formulation, but an
exhaust leak! In this case the exhaust manifold gasket was shot, but the
exhaust pipes also need replacement, you just dont get a shot of exhaust
coming through the vents anymore.

The smell to which I am referring is of an odiferous nature that is not
present in other autos. If I start the TR6 and let it idle the aroma
contains an obnoxious nature that is not present in the TR3, for example.
Keeping it out of the car is not the issue with me. As long as I am
underway it is not a problem. For me. The folks following
notwithstanding.
This is not a critical issue. It ranks up there with smoke in the exhaust.
The car runs fine in spite of it but it is a matter of pride.
