My billet TA block on Methanol/E85 w/ 160lb injectors and a Gen2 'street' car build.

Does E85 make you exempt from California emissions testing?

Nah, I still have to go through emissions and smog.

 

[~JM~]

How are you going to accomplish that?

When I lived in Southern California the vehicle had to have all OEM emissions equipment in place & operational. Replacement or performance parts required a CARB approval stamp or marking.

Vehicles that used alternative fuels like alcohol, propane, etc, were exempt. I'm not up to speed on CA emissions testing any longer.

What are you, a cop?

Rule #1 man- You don't talk about Fight Club.


If you don't get it, then you never will....

Just curious. I remember all the BS I used to have to go through to register my cars when I lived there.

Thank god I know this guy that knows this other guy that works with this guys uncle that his step father owns a smog shop that gives me a killer discount on my smog every 2 years

 

[marleyskater420]

I know the same guy Johnn Tran knows, since he is able to get all those SR20DET's through customs...

I recall how angry I was, as I sat behind a city bus puking black smoke into the sky, minutes after my OEM stock car just failed the CA smog inspection due to a missing heat riser tube from the exhaust manifold to the air cleaner. Huge bunch of !

I would think that they'd give cops like you a break on stuff like that?

 

[~JM~]

I'm not a cop.

I did go for a ride in a cop car though.

Unfortunately I was in the back seat.

Did you have all your clothes on when it happened?

Cause if so, you're a much smarter man that I was during my experience...

 

[Reggie West]

Lol. Yeah Im not surprised.

 

[marleyskater420]

Lol. Yeah Im not surprised.

And the whole time I was telling the cop about Bump Steer and Spring Rate

So my new front shocks came in ... Varishock Double Adjustable QS2's..




And on top of that, Mike got some of the powdercoating done for the valve covers... they look absolutely ridiculous...he is a master of his craft to say the least!

 

[Turbo Keith]

WOW Dude that really looks good

 

[marleyskater420]

WOW Dude that really looks good

I agree! Mike did an excellent job!

He said the finish makes them look like scammer bears almost, and I totally agree...they have this wet depth to them that I love...and the hint of candy flake is just so legit... these are going to absolutely scream when they're in the car..

Picked up this little piece of aluminum sexiness this weekend:




On a somewhat related note, I can't stop laughing at that old SNL song Dick In A Box.
