Emissions Test Results (I'm so proud of my little Rex)

I just got back from the testing station. Here are the numbers--pretty clean, huh?

The results I posted are for an '88 RX-7 convertible (not a Prius or a fart--lol) w/134,231 miles on the original engine. The engine, drivetrain and emissions equipment are stock. I did have to do some splicing of the water temperature sensor wires (they were broken) in order to get the idle down below 1100 rpm. Before I did that, I was unable to adjust the idle or TPS.
I'm not a huge fan of emissions testing, but it is nice to know that my car is running so efficiently. This is the first year for emissions testing in Travis County, Texas and I have to admit that I was concerned over the outcome.
I'm very grateful to the members of this forum for the valuable information they've provided. Without it, there's no way my car would have passed.

There are probably people around here who would have "helped" my car pass an emissions test and I might have sought their assistance had it been necessary. However, I really want a car that runs clean so I went "by the book" and was very pleased with the results.
