Wood burning smell?
it's almost like theres a nice dark walnut wood burning smell comming from the 8 somewhere...
I've heard of brakes that are designed to emit a smell when they start to wear, ...
I change and check the oil regularly, and it's not clitch burn....
anyone by chance know what it might be?

Oh you didn't know?? To keep weight down, the RX-8 frame is completely built of bolsa wood.
Naw, my brakes smell all the time--especially after a rough drive home in rush-hour traffic.

about six months back,on several mournings when entering the garage where I kept my 8 , this wierd smell, like burnt rubber or something..I started looking in the engine bay and later lifted to check the underside of the car for a source of that f@*ked up smell when I ran across a piece of fiberboard material wedged above the exhaust just rear of the engine. Dn't know where it originated but I dont think it came from the engine bay area ....I still smell it every once awhile...wierd though
