you should prolly fix that, the idle test might be kinda hard to pass with that

do you guys know what you can get away with in california regarding modded TIIs (smog) Specifically what mods cause poor emissions. What if you put a giant cat in there? I want to get a TII but i dont know what i can do with CA harsh regulations. I guess i could always move to another state. HA

i dunno much about CA emissions, all i know is that my n/a couldnt pass WA emissions, so im getting a PO box in an area that has no requirements heh... from what i've heard CA can be hard, but as long as you keep all your emissions equipment on the car and functioning properly you'll be fine
