hey i need help getting my car ready for emisions my muffler system is off and is a peice of crap and i wanna know what i can do to build/buy what i need for as cheap as possible to get my car to pass emisions

 

i guess id help to say its an 85 GS
and i belive its running way to rich but i dont know enough about it yet

 

Have you had it tested yet? What are did it fail?

 

What area of the test did it fail? That's what I was trying to type!

 

hey
nope i just bought the car and i havent gotten any papers with test results so i donno what to say is wrong..., and im sure the racing beat street header/exhuast that im gonna be purchasing soon wont pass emisions

 

Do they offer a preliminary type inspection? So you could at lest get a baseline, before you start chucking money around?

 

Zal, if I where you, over the winter I would look everywhere for a mechanic that will pass your car without testing it. Ontario emission laws are pretty strict... they'll look at your car and if they think it wont pass, they wont test it. They'll ask you to spend 200 on getting it fixed. After you bring them the bill, they'll check it and if it fails, i beleive you are told to spend more $. If it fails the 3rd time... game over.

Do you still have the cats? I've got some at my place and you could "borrow" the manifold/cat assembly to pass the test if you need it, but I'll need it back cause I'm up to bat later next year...

Too bad your car is an 85... that means you have to pass the testing next year and again in 2 years from now. But, after that you're free to do what you want!

 

hey cetera i might just have to take u up on that offer cuz im not sure if i have any the stock parts on it cept the header and maybe just maybe the cat right off the header, or at least thats what it looks to be like on my setup
