Not joking ..but the smell from your car can tell a lot..

For people who have sensitive/sharp sense of smell thsi could be helpfull:
1] Smell of burnt cardboard/paper : Your clutch is burning
2] Smell of engine oil : Either some seal/gasket is gone and spraying on the hot engine bay
3] Burnt oil : Either u have not changed your oil and its buning up or there is some issue with your engine and oil has managed to reach the hot exhaust (this will also show as white smoke)
4] Sweet toxic smell : Coolant has spilled onto something hot, probably your coolant hose is leaking or something has damaged the radator.
5] Burnt rubber : :-) You have been having fun..

Building a fast street car .. otherway around

I see a lot .. or actually 99% of people trying to make fast street car in a very haphazard unorganised manner.There is no planning/calculation done by these people..just bolton any crap in any order as per availability in random order in favourite color which sounds cool...something like that.
Sounds like a very vague description but then a vague behaviour/pattern cannot be described in a more precise and technical manner.
  The title of the post says ..otherway around ..this is exactly opposite of what the people do.
What does a typical tuner/ricer/newbie enthusiast do ?
