Are you pressing the clutch or brakes when taking the corner?

don't u have to? I mean at least the brakes :P

yeah, first time I went for a spin at Akuna Bay, there was scent of clutch burning, brake pad buring, and tyre burning smell... well, not literally burning, but that smell...

If you are doing that on the street, you need to change your driving technique. :p

When I hit the VTEC hard from the first gear or even braking and cornering hard, occasionnally I could smell burning. I've reduced doing it to maintain its longer lasting
