WOW Internet says apparently these will pass your car even with a check engine light if the exhaust emissions are within spec.

Excellent post, by the way. The "sniffer" has no application to S650 cars. Anything that shows a relevant system is not ready yet, and they tell you to come back later, as it will not pass. Anything that trips a check engine light means a failure. I do not see a way around the catalytic...

They hit them with a hammer where you live?

With respect to the bolded in your post, in Georgia, they are required to look for catalytic converters. While the 20 bucks they get paid on one inspection may not mean much all by itself, that is not even close to what is at stake. The failure to check for catalytic converters can put them...

So that was last weekend. Were they reviled? What happened?

Not in Georgia. The inspector has no discretion here. The machine tells the inspector pass/fail and why and that is that.

ZXMustang, thank you for making the attempt to explain it to me, but, like AZ_Ryan, I am not following at all, sorry. I must be missing some things about tuning that would enable me to understand what you are trying to teach me.

I took my Dark Horse to the track Friday, and I absolutely love the Trofeo RS 305/30R19 (F) 315/30R19 (R) tires. Love them. They are also fun on the street, but they were great at the track. However, they are not suitable for the rain, and they pick up gravel like crazy. I also cannot...

ZXMustang, Could you give me a "For Dummies" explanation of what I am looking at? I find this chart intensely interesting, but I guess I read it the same way Zig did, that those torque limits meant the engine would not put out more than 376 lb ft of torque to protect the transmission. But...

I love old muscle cars, but I just bought a Dark Horse with 500 horsepower from a little tiny V8. If this engine had been available in 1969 or 1970, it would have been an absolute legend. GTO had a redline of 5200 rpm. I sold my 66 GTO a few years ago, almost cried, but the Dark Horse blows...

I'll try to remember to get a picture and post it, but here is what Blue Ember Metallic looks like, at least in the sunlight. In cloud cover it is like a subdued grayish blue, almost flat, and in heavy shade or at night it looks black. There is orange (ember) metal flake in the paint.

I bought a Dark Horse, Blue Ember Metallic, Handling Package, 2 days ago. HPDE at Road Atlanta tomorrow . . .

Is there a solution?
