Anybody in the area ever had work done by PF Supercars? They're in Frederick, MD which is an hour from me in Fairfax. I've tried calling them, e-mailing them, but they never respond. Their labor is expensive but I'd like to bring my newly purchased FD to them for tuning, they're the best around. Does anybody know how to get in touch with them? I'd rather not drive out there to find it closed. Thanks boys!

Anyone have a stock pre-cat for an S4 FC? Interested to buy. Damn ebay test pipe flange won't stop bending and leaking.

So I'm trying to register my newly purchased RX-7 in this state and I'm having trouble passing the safety inspection because of the lack of factory emissions control equipment. Disregarding that I don't see what emissions control has to do with safety, there is no way I am installing all the factory equipment (enormously expensive) just to pass an inspection. My thinking is I find a tuner-friendly shop that will give it a pass because it's just a visual inspection. Does anyone know of any shops in the area that would be willing to help an enthusiast out? Message me so we don't blow the whistle on a good shop.

If you guys know of any other ways around this inspection business please let me know, I'm only familiar with the vehicle code in PA.

Cheers!

What part of VA are you in? Come down to the Richmond area and they won't smog you.

Yeah, I got a shop here in Richmond that will slap a sticker on literally anything, including a car I had that would catch on fire 2 minutes after running lol. And technically, your car does have to have a sticker to be registered.

I'm in Arlington, I had to pick one of the only 4 counties that require emissions to live in aha.

But I plan to register in Richmond so I can avoid that, all I need to do then is pass the state safety inspection.

Thanks, my job brings me to VA.

I'll definitely check out the cars and coffee. I may not make it to this one, but I do want to check it out.

^ No, the Friday night Starbucks is still as it was. Small. As I work Saturdays I can't comment on the cars and coffee, but I hear it's pretty big.

we actually moved back to Richmond
Diane's house didn't sell or rent
and she found a very good job with Cap One
I'm working remotely from home with 25% travel up to Malta NY
which is where I'm at today
I need to get the Miat back from storage so I can attend some Friday night meets, although I do make out to ALOT of the Saturday C&C's
