Okay who here gets a pretty strong fuel smell in the cabin, when the car is turned off.

I do and I have no Idea why, the old girl who used to sniff the stuff was outta my life and long time ago, hehe

If anyone has any idea where this is coming from or why da hell i can smell fuel ....(making sure insurance policy is current incase of EXPLOSION) can you please let me know.

Thanks a lot, oh yeah and yes I have been putting fuel in the fuel tank only. learnt that lesson a while ago.

i notice theres abit of fuel fume smell if its a hot day, had a drive, switched the car off for a few minutes and then switched it back on

u notice the vapour pouring out of the fuel lid, something to do with the fuel return line maybe?

check for fuel leaks around the fuel filter/fuel lines in the engine bay

one of my first cars (which i wont say) had a leak at the fuel filter and noticed a real strong smell IN the engine bay along with inside the cabin

just a thought...

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
