Maybe not in your part of Texas, but they sure as hell have it in Dallas, Houston, and Austin.

I have a stock '88 N/A that is at 1620 PPM HC and 6.1% CO....FAILED emissions big time :( Local limit for HC is 220 PPM and 1.2% for CO. Man, I got work to do...

Whizbang 02-06-06 10:10 AM

to give you a hit, they wont let me even try.... :(

bigdv519 02-06-06 10:11 AM

I recieved a $33,100 fine in the mail for failure to comply with motor vehicle emissions standards.

EDIT: In Houston, they have these really nifty sensor units that they setup at entrances to freeways. If your emission are not in spec, you recieve a warning in the mail, then a fine.

FWIW mine was a typo, but it was funny.

DragonRx7 02-06-06 10:42 AM

Yeah, I heard about that. They can't send you a ticket if you're from an area that doesn't have emission testing right?

lupin 02-06-06 11:03 AM

I don't have smog but when my 7 was put on the "machine" it started leaking antifreeze so he asked me to leave.

Bukwild 02-06-06 11:16 AM

yeah I do not have to smog mine but I did go with a friend that had to do his and on the way to the test place I had a secondary fuel injector stick open and I have smoke pouring out of the exhaust pipe like I was spraying for skeeters....hahaha

when the guy saw both of the verts out in the parking lot the guy told me not to even both filling out the forms.

Bone stock except for K&N Filter :( I'm gonna do a tune up some time soon. I've got new plugs, wires, and fuel filter. I've already adjusted the TPS, checked the Air pump and the BAC... Any suggestions?

Edit: I also already replaced the exhaust with stock exhaust off a 91 n/a (cats were in great condition) and I installed a new O2 sensor.

Might be off subject, but here in MO, they only test in the counties around STL and KC. Licensing through second addresses and out-state relatives is common.

Two state legislaters are trying to change the way it's done. They want TO EXEMPT ALL CARS MADE BEFORE 1995(non OBD II)! YES! I am a non-religous person but have considered praying, since I live in one of the affected counties.

turbine 02-06-06 09:03 PM

does any one have any real figures for what a 13b will put out without any emissions equiptment. in HC CO CO2 O2
i know some of you calli guys have failed miserably

May actually be the other way around-here in NYC they will test all '96 and up through the OBD II port, no need to drive on the rollers. Still will test '95 and older going back to 26 year old cars, those are exempt here.
