who was that? sounds like they hang out with shin

 

Is it just me or every Hector looks the same?

 

Just got done installing the new headlights! looks a lot better.

 

Some douche in a turboed Dodge Caliber tried to race me on the way home tonight in bumper to bumper traffic. I'm still in shock someone actually wasted the money to beef up a grocery getting POS.

 

Wow you speedy!

 

There's no one in my office today :[
Out for opening day
or Easter weekend sighhghghghghhh so bored. I need some entertainment here..
But I did get all my parts for manual swap! Hope to do that this weekend

 

Awwwww sheeeit, manual swap eh? Good stuff

 

Automatic is for girls! Oh wait......

 

I must be a dude in a chicks body then
Wagon doesn't have the option for manual, so swap it I will!!

 

Talking to a vendor about a group buy on exterior components, I.e body kits, side skirts etc., will post a thread with details later on...

 

Bleh I want to buy something but I don't know what other exterior parts I would need.

 

Anyone know any good body shops around (besides D&V) ? Preferably closer to Rockville

 

^ Maybe ask Bao's guy?

 

How do you guys pass emissions? Or how does one go about not going through emissions?

just curious because I see cars with swaps all the time and i know they still have to go through emissions but how do they do it?

Edit: never thought I could love a tomato so much

 

Clear codes prior to inspection drive about 12 miles test then 6 miles later CEL comes on. That is how.

 

Just dropped the secret car off to the shop to be fixed. Hoping ill be like this when i get the bill and not like this

 

There are so many different ways to trick the emission test. Back in the day in MD you simply have to have a low enough car that wouldn't go through the roller and they have to "extend" you for 2 years. Now that they don't have the roller anymore, they simply plug into an ODB2 sensor to see if there's any code.

So depending on what code your car would throw with all the "swaps" you could use different strategies. Like for test pipes you can get the extenders for the test pipes so the sensors won't smell too much fuel/air. With a flash you could actually disable a code to be thrown all together. Obviously there're pros and cons about doing such thing but it'll guarantee that the car would pass emission.

 

only asking because a guy has a 1998 kouki 240 with an sr20det and he is selling because he doesnt want to deal with emissions. Just curious to what could be done to fix the issue.

 

Dare I ask why? Maybe talk to the RE:Vision guys.

 

How much does he want to get rid of it for?
