Have you modified your engine to vent the crank case to atmosphere? That can create a pretty solid "gassy" smell.

Crankcase vent smellinglike fuel????

Maybe your Gas tank Charcoal canister has been deleted. Behind the drivers side headlight there should be a black plastic bottle.

It smells like exhaust fumes - not gasoline. But i still have the charcoal canister, im quite convinced its some leak in the exhaust system. My BOV is recirculated so idk what else the problem might be. Thinking that the gaskets need a good checking - guy that installed the engine is a known f*** up in the drift community. I just need some ideas guys, i want to waste as little time as possible when i diagnose this thing. I leave the country for 3 weeks and need to drive the car around the canyons a bit so i don't get too sick from being away. Haha. just poking some brains.
