June 28, 200520 yr THE RX PASSED SMOG!! Now its ON! Time for a VF11, New exhaust, and some other go-fast goodies. -Brian
June 28, 200520 yr Author howd you manage that? Put the RX on the sniffer and crossed my fingers. I went to a buddy of a buddy of mine. A friend from work owns a 1984 Chevy 3500 Dually with a propane conversion, and didnt want any flack so we were talking about he has a friend who can "smog" it for him. Of course, i asked and got him to introduce me and we did the RX today. I didnt have the intercooler connected, but I did have my timing way out of spec and my intake was modified. We did a prelim test and the mechanic saw the numbers. He wasnt too sure about it, but said "lets let it warm up alittle more and see what happens." So we let it warm up, reved it a few times and ran the test. It passed, no foul play or nothing. I was as shocked as everyone reading this. I get tags for 1 year, but I wont need to get it smogged again until 2007. But now I can go get my exhaust and turbo done. Guess I should do the important stuff like CV's and bearings first huh? -Brian
June 28, 200520 yr Author I told the tech what i was planning to do with the car, but told him the only thing stopping me was the stupid smog. He asked "what will you do in 2 years when it has to be smogged again?" and i told him i would most likely be living somewhere its not required. He agree'd. He's a jeeper and has a rig, same with the guy I know from work. They run into the same problems on their Jeeps and Toyotas because they run F.I V8's on chassi's that came with Carbed inline 6's and whatnot... they have the same restrictions I have. But they trailer their toys whereas mine has to get me to and from work. I came home from work to a UPS tag. Looks like Magnecore decided to get my plug wires here finally Let the fun begin! -Brian
