i heard that fuel controllers (s-afc) arent valid during air care tests or something. Just want to know if I should hide mine or if it doesnt matter?

Yah hide it, don't have to do it very well either. When I went to my test I just covered it with my wallet and they never thought anything about it or asked. It was funny because right after I pulled out and pulled over to the side and put my settings back to normal as they were looking at me, then drove off

smog is a messed up organization, of course you could tune a modified car to run near zero emissions but they wouldn't care because it was not the way the car was built.
stupid thing about that train of thought is all of those early 80's cars and trucks with horrible emissions sytems, feedback carburetors etc... i remember my old ford ranger plugging up the smog machine while it was idling, measured a mere 2000 HC which is about 15 times the allowable limit... now think if you put a new port fuel injection system on it, wouldn't be legal but i bet it could run 1000 times cleaner than it did.
you can't reason with retards, seems we have an abundance of them in office too..

Emissions are designed to make car companines more money. When you got a "state certified mechanic" he has to order OEM parts for your car. A normal $200 cat becomes a $700 OEM part, it's absolutely ridiculous.

Every inspection I've had since being installed (4 years) the S-AFC has sat right up on the dash where it normally sits and nobody said a thing except for one guy asking what it was.
Capn, there is a guy in town who races 7's and has an inspection shop, did my turbo last month, was way cool about the car.

As for the SAFC, you can hide it beautifully in the ashtray on a 2nd gen - pull the unit out, break the door off, tuck it in... looks stock. If you've run the wiring back behind the panel & such, you can't tell it's installed unless you know where to look.
If anything, I'd say leaning it out a bit at idle & cruise RPMs would help it pass.
