sorry if this sounds dumb when i done a wheel spin, not burnout

[Britman]

agreed it does smell

but ive not had one go before which is lucky so is it going to fail then do you think it it smells like 

allthe time after a drive as it feels ok, dont slip it does clunk slightly when i reversed into a space when i lifted to bitting point to move it just using clutch and bit of gas but may be same on most cars i dunno what to do now il see if it get any worse i spose but the smells like nothin else and makes me feel

looks so funny that emotion

Its done how many miles since the top end was done  and you done what 
It sounds like the clutch, the smell will go after a while or after a long motorway drive, but it could be the smell of new gaskets etc from the rebuild, I suggested now that you change the oil and filter, if any bits have kicked off you don't want them getting in the way of the good oil that might be left 
You really should take more care of it, these cars are solid and give us alot of fun, but how much longer do you want to keep on having it? 
Hopefully no damaged was done, I don't suppose it would have, at least you not tracked it straight after the rebuild  But the engine in the first few mins from cold can get severly damaged with use like that, if the engine is working hard at high revs the pistons will feel all the work especially with a change up during high revs, the clutch is designed to take some of the torque away to avoid damage, but it can only do so much before sustaining damage itself. 
CRAZY

My answer is don't do a burnout...thought that's why people bought corsa's?

oh and clutch...last time i went down the strip my clutch stank of mouldy cheese  for a while after!!! and I still have the same one fitted....

if i do a motorway trip to bed it in a bit what the highest speeds i should go?

there is only one reply to this! - DUMB ASS!!!!
which will come out dumb donkey i guess!

Why come on here whining when ya do such a stupid thing! Go ask on E38 or Club Gti and see what reaction ya get!

[Britman]

i know it is stupid thanks, i did only say i done it a few times to see what power it had thats all, im not whining at all
i never do wheel spins burnout apart from a split seconds of the line sometimes, i was just ask about the contstant smell now thats all

[Len]

spinning the wheels wont tell you how much power it has! Spend 40 odd quid and put it in on a rolling road. and dont say you cant afford it coz the damage you have probably caused is gonna cost ya a lot more than 40 quid.

Not even worth a reply

[Britman]

why are you being like that, its not as if i do them all the time, infact NEVER, apart from a few known again in some cars ive had it not as if am a burnout king i didnt 1 tiny burnout and asked for some advice what the problem might be and if it was the clutch smelling

iwas only asking if it wrecks the clutch, my mechanic said it may be on its way out anyway so proberly not my fault as only spun the the wheels in the wet in first and second, i didnt expect such hostile replies i know it is stupid but was only asking, id under stand if i did them all the time and big ones for ages
i didnt think smalll wheel spins while on the power done damage as see people do them all the time, i expect its from me  spining in first then chaging to second and catching it a bit, its proberly burning the dust left from it

im anti burnout as respect my car but didnt think odd one would hurt it guess i was wrong

apart from damaging your car doing a burnout you make yourself look a c*nt

no offence

if you have damaged something serves you right
