well for the past week i had been looking to smog my car only to face shops shaking their head. no place wanted to even touch my car after i popped the hood.

so...i had to take it off. 3 hours later it was back to stock and i was ready to get it smog checked. it barely passed cuz the emissions were 61/41 and the max is 61/45. passed smog, then another 2 hours later, got that turbo back on.

also replaced oil filter with fram X2 (7000 miles+ duty cycle) >>

because of CA's strict auto laws, no place will smog my car because it was modified. i could have paid some guy to do it for me for 200 bucks but thats a rip off.

lol, i am glad i dont have to worry about smog testing like you guys. i dont even have to get out of my car to get it inspected. the guy comes out and takes my sticker off and puts a new one on. i give him ten dollars and i drive away. >>

Good ole Jesse "The Body" Ventura took care of getting rid of emissions here in Minnesota while he was governor for that very crazy 4 years. That's one thing he did that was good, but I spose for every one thing he did good there's two dozen bad lol.

i got a 95 ST i hear that emmisions are easier to pass that with a 97-99 car so if i get a EGR dummy when i do my swap will i be able to pass?

i think its easier to pass if you have a 95 and down.. they are allowed to give out more smog.. then 96 and up.. cars.. well i think i'm not 100% about that..
